Great breakdown! :) Stay stellar!

Haha thank you! :)

Great post! I am intetrsted in learning a programming language. Which is the best to learn if I want to help develop current and future blockchains?

Ethereum Developer Training = You will learn Geth, Web3, Truffle, TestRPC, MetaMask, Wallets, Solidity +++

Learn Javascript too so you should learn basic understanding of the Javascript/HTML DOM model

Ha, what a list man, not really encouraging :-) Do you know by any chance what everybody is using making all these steemtools? Are they written with javascript api, python?
I will have to interface soon with - hopefully - Ethereum as i have a financial app that will benefit a lot opening up to the smart contract blockchain. Do you have a starting point for learning this intensive list of yours?

Thank you! :) Well, I don't know much about cryptocurrencies and blockchains, but I know that people usually use C++ and something called Solidity. Also, a friend of mine told me the other day that he was trying some things with blockchains, and he uses Ruby. But I believe that you're good to go if you use C++ and/or Solidity.

Awesome, thanks.

You're welcome! Thanks for your comment.

I use Git quite a bit. (forgive the rhyme). And honestly, it's a lot easier to use on Linux! Good post!

Yes! Actually I prefer Linux over Windows for everything that's not related to playing games. Thank you for your comment!

Great post. Also, I believe, Source tree (https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/) is a provides a great set of tools and interface. But for anyone new to git I advise to use the terminal and learn the basic commands. Source tree allows you to create a clean Git flow by allowing you to 'Start New Feature', 'Finish Feature' and starting and finishing releases as well. If you are working on an advanced project or a project that involves multiple developers, Source tree makes things simpler.

Follow me @codero

Thanks @codero, I'm glad you liked it. I checked this tool you mention, Source Tree, and it looks amazing, but it's a shame it only works in Windows and Mac OS, anyway, thank you for the recommendation. I will check your profile for sure!

😂😂 thanks for your comment haha.

Wow, congrats on getting discovered by Curie. You deserve the upvotes, great article again!

Thank you very much @pilcrow :')

Thanks. This is something I will have to learn for sure.

Thanks for your comment! Learning Git is absolutely worth the effort

I have been using git for the last couple months, too. I'm just using the basic commands now, but it's helpful. I hope to continue to use git and get better at it.

Nice to hear that! I've using Git for 8 months, or so, and lately I've learned a lot of useful things I didn't even know existed. I hope to gather them all in this serie, so I can explain them to the people.

Thanks for your comment!

Good post. Please continue this series

Sure :) I want to cover several git commands, from basic to some advanced ones too. I'm following your Ionic post series too, I'm interested in it. Thank you for your comment!

For what exactly do you use Gib or Linux for?

Hello @suos.

Well, Linux is an operative system, just like Windows. With Linux you can do a lot of things: surf the web, edit documents, preview images, edit images, and of course, you can program with Linux. I prefer Linux over Windows because it has several tools installed per default that are useful for a programmer. Also, I find that doing some programming things in Linux are easier than doing them in Windows, it's lighter and it's more secure too. In this guide, everything that I do with Linux, can be exactly done with Windows as well, there are no differences, but it's not always like that.

Github is a web service that allows you to store and organize your code and keep track of all the changes that you made to your files. It's useful for medium-big projects and for sharing your code with a coworker or a partner who is using the same code that you are using. You can find more information in my previous post here.
