RE: Decentralized Applications: Harnessing Bitcoin's Blockchain Technology "Unboxing"

in #books • 9 years ago

I guess it really depends on who exactly the target audience is.

We could talk about decentralization in very general terms in a few paragraphs, but for somebody who is already educated on crypto, 97 pages doesn't really seem like a lot of content.

    Yeah, I think the target audience is DApp developers. Here's some selected text from the back cover:

    Take advantage of ... the blockchain... to build massively scalable ... dapps. Learn advances in distributed-system technology ... Build a Twitter clone with the Go language, ... decentralized messaging app, and a peer-to-peer data store. ... Learn about OpenBazaar ... Explore Lighthouse ... an in-depth look at La'Zooz ...

    There is no way this is all covered in enough detail. Out of the 97 pages I count only about 24 with any source code on them, and that is being generous.

    The summary of the book should be: I talk a little about some randomly chose Decentralized Applcations, but you could learn a lot more, for free, on the internet.

    Learn about OpenBazaar

    Does anybody looking to write a DApp need a book on OpenBazaar?

    Maybe this guy saw the success of the 'For Dummies' series and wanted in...

    I just want to further explain that it takes a lot of effort (or lack thereof) to get me to write a negative review - so I'm extra shocked here.
