The course starts off with an introduction to Ethereum and its native cryptocurrency, Ether, and goes on to explore the potential of blockchain technology and smart contracts. Following this, we introduce Vyper, a Pythonic language focused on security and simplicity, and compare it with Solidity, the current dominant language for Ethereum development. In the latter half of the course, we get hands-on with Vyper by creating and managing Ethereum smart contracts. We start off with a simple data storage contract, then simulate a basic voting system. Finally, we explore how to deploy and interact with smart contracts using the Remix IDE. Upon completing this course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of how Ethereum works, master the Vyper programming language, and learn how to create and manage Ethereum smart contracts.
