Only few people are able to write smart contracts in Solidity.

I‘m diving into this topic and would like to ask my fellow Bitcointalk members, who is sailing the same boat?

I‘m learning Solidity because I’m in the process of converting to the role of a Blockchain Architect

Exciting technologies right before our eyes limited only by our imagination and faith

Hi,

I will be learning it when I'll get into college.

Smart Contracts and all the things which come with.

Only a few can develop smart contracts, so it's necessary to know a bit of it. If you know how to read them, you can detect scam contracts.

Good learning !

I already read some articles that tell that solidity is a crap code, can someone care to explain why?

Are there already books available on the subject of smart contracts?

if you need any consulting about smart contract programming,

ask me in PM

Can you give some suggestions? And some good sources?

I'll send a PM to you but are you a developer for smart contracts? I asked my university professor to open some software courses in the college for smart contracts. They said no, which is a pitty for us. We need opportunity to learn it.

If you learn how to be a Blockchain Architect, and a good one, chances are you'll earn a lot of money ;D. As you said, only few people are able to write smart contracts, and that means a lot of demand  ;D ;D

Please feel free to share good resources.

I‘ve had a good start reading Solidity‘s readthedocs.io pages these days.

Yes I am really interested in solidity but there are not so much document about it so it is difficult to advance in solidity for now.

I am interested but. I am busy in my work.  so wait for free days.

I think if you wanna learn this you also need a good IQ to start with. Because this is some deeper material

I would suggest to everyone that learning any programming language is easier (ten fold) if you already know another programming language.

So learning any programming language will help you with this smart contract programming whatever it may mean and will give you a window in the future of programming, not just smart contract wtf this means.

And more than that, i highly recommend starting with a more consolidated programming language, like Java or C#, because you can find tons of information and tutorials, and even "start programming" classes based on those kind of languages. Solidity still has a lot of flaws and features that are not that clear, so sometimes just the eyes of an experienced programmer can identify important aspects of it and implement best practices and otimizations.

It is not very difficult to learn Solidity and smart contracts development if you already have a programming background.

There are already some good books, but you can start studying online as well.

If you really don't know anything yet, this is an introductory tutorial with sample code available in Ethereum website:
https://ethereum.org/token

This is a simple example of smart contract for creating a custom token.
There are more tutorials there:
https://ethereum.org/crowdsale
https://ethereum.org/dao

For quick testing your first "hello world" contract, you could try the Remix online solidity IDE:
https://remix.ethereum.org/

After going through these beginner level quick examples, you can see if you are interested in buying more advanced books and explore the language a bit more. I recommend using the Ethereum wallet (Mist) on a Linux OS to deploy a contract is the Testnet and really start having fun with smart contracts.

Udemy is best place to learn programming language for Smart Contracts
chick out this course, it's cost about 10 dollars

if you don't have money maybe you can find a way to get it for free.
