Learn Solidity Programming

Learn Solidity Programming
Solidity is a contract-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart contracts. It was influenced by C++, Python and JavaScript and is designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Solidity is statically typed, supports inheritance, libraries and complex user-defined types among other features. The syntax of Solidity is similar to that of JavaScript.
