go off into the world andstart working with blockchains andinteracting with blockchains with atleast some level of knowledge as towhat's going on trump 2024 plansyou should be incrediblyproud of yourself for just making itthis far definitely be sure to giveyourself a pat on the back and a roundof applause now that we've gotten a lotof the basics and the fundamentals outof the way let's start jumping into thecoding aspect this is where you're goingto learn how to actually build thesesmart contracts how to build these trustminimized agreements in theseblockchains and in these smart contractplatforms this next section thissolidity Basics the solidityfundamentals section will give you allthe skills to start actually codingsolidity and understanding how thesesmart contracts work underneath the hoodso at this point absolutely giveyourself a high five maybe say hi in theGitHub discussions maybe say hi in thecommunity on Twitter on Reddit Etc andbe proud of just making it this far thejourney has really only just begun butyou've already learned so much let'sbegin the next section and let's jumpinto thecode now that we're getting to thecoding sections I need to stress toabsolutely use the GitHub repositoryassociated with this course if you cometo the GitHub repo and you scroll downand you click the lesson that we're onright now we're on lesson two welcome toremix simple storage if you click on itit'll give you a ton of timestamps andand other helpful links associated withthis lesson Additionally the biggestpiece is that all the code will beavailable right underneath the lessontitle this will have all the code thatwe're going to be working with as wellas some more additional information onhow to work with the code please whenasking questions and entering indiscussions though please ask yourquestions in the full blockchainsolidity course repository thank you andif we're at the top of the repositoryand we scroll down we have thisresources for this course section whichbrings us to the GitHub discussionswhich you can ask questions in theGitHub discussion section of this courseadditionally on stack exchange ethereumor stackOverflow I'll talk a little bit abouthow to format question and ask questionsthe best way so that you have thehighest chance of getting a good answerin a later lesson I highly recommend youpause and make accounts for stackexchange ethereum stack Overflow andGitHub right now if you haven't alreadylinks to them of course can be found inour GitHub repository typically for eachcoding section I'll start it off bygiving a quick overview of the code ofwhat we're going to be working with andwhat we're going to be building towardssince everything that we're doing isgoing to be Project based and that's howwe're going to learn for our first onein remix though we're going to skip overthat because there's a lot of stuff toget used to now I highly recommend thatas I'm coding this and as I'm doing allthis in remix you follow along with meand you code along with me remember youcan change my speed if I'm coding toofast or if I'm coding too slow to startwe're going to jump into a tool calledremix if you're unsure how to get therethere's a link to remix in our GitHubrepository this is where we're going tobe writing all of our code so welcome tothe remix IDE or integrated developmentenvironment this is where we're going tolearn how to code and interact with oursmart contracts if you want you can goahead and accept to help out remix ifyou've never been here before it'll giveyou a quick walkr of some of the toolsthat remix actually has we're going toskip over them for now because I'm goingto explain everything that's going onremix is such a powerful tool because ithas a lot of features that allow us toreally see and interact with our smartcontracts eventually we're going to moveoff of remix actually to a localdevelopment environment however remix isabsolutely fantastic for learning thefundamentals of solidity and I highlyrecommend everybody start with remixwhen they're getting started when youcome to the remix IDE there's a wholelot of different things that are poppingout to us there's a lot of differentplugins as well since we're going to beworking with solidity which is going tobe the language that we're using todevelop our smart contracts we can goahead and get started by clicking thesolidity plugin and a couple of othertools will show up on the side even ifyou don't click the solidity pluginyou'll still be able to code soliditysmart contracts the left hand side iswhere we're going to start to actuallyinteract with things the button on thetopmost of the left is our files orExplorer directories remix comes boilerplated with some different contractssome different scripts some differenttests and different dependencies we aregoing to minimize this a little bit soif you want to go ahead and right clickand delete some of these folders otherthan the contracts folders feel free todo so or if you kind of like them therefeel free to leave them as well we'regoing to leave our contracts folder andwe're going to delete the differentfiles inside of it just so that we canstart from a blankslate most projects come with somethingknown as a readme usually it's areadme.md which usually explains how toactually work with code but for ourpurposes we're going to delete this aswell and you can just follow along withme now we have a blank remix setup clickon the contract folder and click thelittle page icon to create a new file alittle box will pop up and you can starttyping text into it we're going to typein simplestorage.soulsoul tells our compilers that thisis going to be a solidity file and thatwe're going to code solidity in thissolidity is the primary coding languageof smart contracts there are a few othersmart contract languages as well butsolidity by far is the most dominantsmart contract coding language out thereand and now we have a simple storage.Soul contract on the right that we canactually start coding our solidity withso let's start coding some solidity nowif you click on this button right belowthe files button that looks like thesolidity logo you'll see a bunch ofstuff pop up in here these are differentparameters for us
