Implement blockchain from scratch covering all the details with Racket a general-purpose Lisp.
You'll start by exploring what a blockchain is so you have a solid foundation for the rest of
the book. You'll then be ready to learn Racket before starting on your blockchain
implementation. Once you have a working blockchain you'll move onto extending it. The book's
appendices provide supporting resources to help you in your blockchain projects. The
recommended approach for the book is to follow along and write the code as it's being explained
instead of reading passively. This way you will get the most out of it. All of the source code
is available for free download from GitHub. What You Will Learn Discover the Racket programming
language and how to use it Implement a blockchain from scratch using Lisp Implement smart
contracts and peer-to-peer support Learn how to use macros to employ more general abstractions
Who This Book Is For Novices that have at least some experience with programming as well as
some basic working experience with computers. The book also assumes some experience with high
school mathematics such as functions.
