Blockchain Development Programming Tutorials, Guides & Best Practices

Blockchain development is a rapidly growing field with a wide range of tools, libraries, and frameworks available to facilitate the development, testing, and deployment of decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts. This cheatsheet provides a comprehensive overview of the most important blockchain development tools, libraries, and frameworks.

• Description: A development framework for Ethereum that provides a suite of tools for writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts.
• Key Features:
• Built-in smart contract compilation, linking, deployment, and binary management.
• Scriptable deployment & migrations framework.
• Network management for deploying to different networks.
• Interactive console for direct contract interaction.
• Testing framework using Mocha and Chai.
• Website: Truffle

• Decentralized: Operates on a blockchain network.
• Open-source: The code is public and available for anyone to view and audit.
• Autonomous: Once deployed, it runs independently without human intervention.
• Smart Contract Integration: Relies on smart contracts to execute transactions and operations.

Before you start building your DApp, you’ll need to set up your development environment. Here’s what you need:
