Reviews

The Only Ethereum Book is a comprehensive introduction to Ethereum. It is meant for programmers but could be read by non-programmers as well. Bill knows when to stress key points such as not exposing private keys. For any potential pitfalls, there are plenty of warnings. The book is optimistic in tone, but not overly so. Chapters are well divided into sections and the book has a logical flow to it. It strikes the right balance between technical and text explanations. Comparing this to other resources out there on Ethereum, this is by far the best resource for getting into Ethereum. Video courses and the Ethereum documentation are useful, but this book goes beyond what you would expect. --S. Johnson, journalist.
