About The Course

This repository contains code that I wrote while following the Cryptozombie course (https://cryptozombies.io/), an online course that teaches people how to build decentralized applications (DApps) on the Ethereum blockchain.

I highly recommend the Cryptozombie course to anyone interested in learning about blockchain technology and Solidity programming. The interactive lessons and gamification make the learning experience fun and engaging, and I feel that the course has greatly improved my skills in this field. Thank you to the Cryptozombie team for creating such a valuable resource!

Course Structure

The repository is organized into directories corresponding to each lesson in the course. Each directory contains the code that I wrote for that lesson, including Solidity smart contracts (.sol files) and scripts for testing and interacting with the contracts (e.g. test.js and deploy.js).

Please note that this repository does not contain all the dependencies required to run the code. In order to run the code, you will need to install the required dependencies and set up a local Ethereum blockchain, such as Ganache.

Getting Started

To run the code in this repository, you will first need to install the required dependencies using npm:

npm install

You will also need to have a local Ethereum blockchain running, such as Ganache.

Once the dependencies are installed and the blockchain is running, you can compile and deploy the smart contracts using Truffle:

truffle compile
truffle migrate

Finally, you can start the development server to interact with the DApp:

npm run start

This will launch the DApp in your web browser.
