FIN579 Solidity Programming is a hands-on course in using the Solidity programming language to write and deploy Smart Contracts on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) based blockchain networks. The course provides an introduction to Solidity and its background, including relevant concepts on development tools, libraries and Smart Contract standards (ERC). The course will also expose the students to the workflow and components involved in creating Smart Contracts and deploying it on the blockchain. The course will help students to appreciate the idiosyncrasies in writing Smart Contracts against traditional programming as well as its implications on security, cost, and other pitfalls. Overall, this intensive course aims to build students’ capabilities in reading, understanding, writing and deploying Smart Contracts on their own. After this course, students are expected to have grasped the knowledge and programming skills necessary as a Smart Contract programmer. This course will involve the use of Javascript and assumes that the students are familiar with blockchain, exposed to Linux-based operating systems and have some general programming knowledge.
