RE: Programming - Implementing a Blockchain using Python and Flask [Dev Blog 6]

in Programming & Dev3 years ago (edited)

Truth is, the task is due next Thursday (September 2nd). And so I need at least a prototype until then...
I only knew that it had to be submitted in the beginning of September. I never would have guessed that it was that early on...
Either way, after that is over I can continue on my own pace. 😄
Glad, that you enjoy it!

Of course I do enjoy it sir, whatever free time I manage I study blockchain...
As I said earlier my materials are mostly theoretical, I do lack in implementation.........
But I will try to follow your series........
One question to you, in my materials which I manage to get, the programming part is given in solidity....
So which language to choose solidity, golang or python....

Well, from the languages that you've mentioned, Solidity is the smart contract language from Ethereum. It's not something that is used for implementing a blockchain base, but it's an extension. Using Solidity Ethereum allows implementing Distributed Apps (Dapps), Tokens etc. Think of it as machine code for blockchain systems, similar to how code is compiled and executed on hardware. (CPUs, GPUs etc.)

Python and Go are also used in lots of cryptocurrency implementations. I'm more familiar with Python though.

It really all depends on what you're aiming for. To understand blockchains in-depth languages like Python should be better suited. But, if you wish to grasp more advanced topics like Tokens, Smart Contracts etc., then understanding existing cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and how they work should be your priority instead.

Your answer did solve my doubt sir....

Sir, I know python but blockchain is entirely new to me. So I really don't know which language to chose.......
I guess I just have to go with the flow....
Thanks for uploading the series.....
