Blockchain is a really interesting technology, but it’s mostly remained very difficult to implement. The “Programming the Blockchain in C#” free eBook is an attempt to make Blockchain development more approachable. And, it showcases using the C# programming language to write code and implement your own use of Blockchain.

You can read the Programming the Blockchain in C# book within your web browser at the following link:

Thank you. Don’t use C# but I’ll bet I can get the hang of what you are talking about.

The first exercise asks me to send some Bitcoins to a MainNet address. I just started to understand how this worked so I don’t have any Bitcoin in my Wallet. I would better understand the exercise if I had to send them to a TestNet address. Could someone help me?

You should send the authors feedback in the GitHub project for the book. 🙂

hey, can I use this book as a guide to write a blockchain where transactions are something else than currency “Bitcoin”? for example just to transfer IDs or Data?

That’s the idea, but I’m not sure how “complete” the book goes fully. Go through and give it a shot. 🙂
