Jim's Review
🐛
Antonopoulos teamed up with Gavin Wood — co-founder of Ethereum and author of the Yellow Paper — to write the canonical Ethereum book. If Mastering Bitcoin is the textbook for the "digital gold" thesis, this is the textbook for the "world computer" thesis: programmable money, smart contracts, DApps, EVM internals, gas, Solidity. It's a developer-oriented book and assumes you can read code. The smart-contract chapters are where it shines — the discussion of security pitfalls (reentrancy, integer overflows, the DAO hack) is the best published treatment of the topic. Five worms for devs. Skim-readable for the curious.
