Greetings All,
  For the past year I have been working on a book that aims to fill the gap of Bitcoin focused web development instruction. So few resources are available in this space which is what led to me to put this project together.

The book is now out and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Building-Bitcoin-Websites-Beginners-Development/dp/153494544X



This book covers everything to get started in learning to create Bitcoin web applications from scratch.  No more copying code, or looking for pre-built templates! In this book you will learn to write your own!  You will go from simple hello world tutorials in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP to building fully functional Bitcoin websites like an online store and a game.

Includes:
  • Over 120 code examples
  • HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP
  • Learn the fun way by building real working applications
  • Create dynamic sites that interact with your users
  • Build a store that accepts Bitcoin
  • Create your own Bitcoin game

Two years ago I started a YouTube channel where I focus on Bitcoin web development tutorials. There are now 600+ subscribers and I have received mostly positive feedback. About a year and a half ago, I started a thread here on Bitcointalk (So You Want To Use Bitcoin On Your Website) as a resource for new comers, so they can find the answers to the most common questions in one place.

I didn't create all these tutorials because I'm some elite professional developer.  In fact, I'm just a hobbyist.  I created these because none existed.  When I got started with Bitcoin related web development I had lots of questions, but could find very few answers.  This is the gap that I hope this book will fill.

I don't have a large supply at my home, and you'll likely receive it faster if you order on Amazon.
Sent you a PM.

That's great.
I am looking for Bitcoin books all the time, the data is concentrated and you don't need to travel hours on the web.
Thank you!

Awesome, ordered a copy. I've seen your articles and videos and they were helpful.  In fact, after looking at some examples and reading your articles, I was able to build the live rate conversion for bitcoinstarter.com so that goals and rewards on the site can dynamically adjust to the live exchange rate.  Cool

That's awesome to hear! Exactly what I wanted to do, help others be able to build things like this to further grow the community and the bitcoin space. Nice site!

Also, thanks for ordering a copy!
Please consider leaving a review on Amazon after you had time to go through it. Reviews really help it show up on searches Smiley

Well done for the book release. We need more people like you doing good work in-support for Bitcoin. How do you plan on marketing the book, so you can cover your costs, time, and possible create another revision?

He is selling the book on amazon and with the current niche,there is no-less competition in his domain!

@Author : Bloody Amazing ! Glad you put it all together !However,any revision versions in progress ? Any core developers has reviewed the book yet? I might as well wait for the revised version.

I don't think a core dev, that understands the intricacies of advanced hashing algorithms and cryptography, would be interested viewing a book that just builds on top of the core api.  Seems like asking a rocket scientist to review a
baking soda and vinegar volcano science project.

I encourage you to check out my latest lessons on YouTube to get an idea of what I do.  Link is in the original post, sorry I'd post it here but on my cell and I'm completely useless on my phone Smiley

Received my book from Amazon a few weeks back and have followed chapters in it on and off since. This is an awesome book and is well written!

Great guides on building different tools / apps, step by step. The book has helped me finish a few projects and create some new tools.

Well worth buying, Thanks for a great book.
