“Building Blockchain Apps� is just under 300 pages and 24 chapters. This means each chapter is relatively short which makes the book easier to read. There are also lots of screenshots which also make it easier to read. But don't worry, the book is still jam packed with information.
I like that the book starts by going over concepts. Some were a review and some were new to me. I like that multiple tools were covered like the Remix and Europa IDEs. It was also nice to see GraphQL get a shout out.
The book assumes you feel comfortable reading JavaScript. I do, but I was caught by surprise that this was a pre-requisite. On three pages the images were offset ninety degrees.
I like that there was an example in Go. About six of the chapters were written by different authors. They were clearly labeled and the style was similar enough that it was seamless.
Finally, the author was sure to include a picture of the CryptoKitties.
