Web3 Simplified is designed to be exactly what the title says.
It attempts to provide very basic, simple, clear and easy to understand introductory explanations of new terms and technology surrounding the so called “Web3” as well as the “ Metaverse”. These include things like blockchain, bitcoin, decentralized finance, NFTs, and more.
The book is written specifically for the uninitiated, newcomers and anyone curious about these developments yet are baffled by the concepts and terminology surrounding them.
For those new to Web3 and/or confused by it all, people with very little to o technical knowledge, this book was written for you. And all profit will be donated to under represented STEM educational non profits too. Hope you enjoy it and find it of some use.
I'm trying to get my head around things like Bitcoin and NFTs since the price has been falling, I am thinking now is the time to buy. And I have been trying to read up on it and it's all such strange language that when I saw this book being given away I was like - maybe this will explain things?
Well I was the lucky winner of an advance copy and I enjoyed this book as it really was much more friendly and down to earth on explaining things like blockchain (although I still don't really get it). There's lots of typos and such but it is an advance unfinished copy so no penalty there. Overall it was one of the easiest explanations I have read and it also includes links to other good references and counter point experts too which point out the fragile nature of all this too.
Good introduction for those that are starting from scratch and don't have a programmer I their household or friend circle.
I could never understand any of this crypto stuff and it's still pretty much a mystery to me but, this book was the clearest thing I've read so far on the subject. It's short and to the point foe the most part and was a fast read. Good reference guide too.
The best parts of this book are pointers to other books, articles and videos that explain the topics discussed. Sadly, I came away still not understanding the concepts presented.
This is a flawed product. It is full of grammatical errors. The primary issue is the misuse of prepositions or using the wrong word. It is so flawed it is not readable. I realize this is not a costly book, but it is the principle that someone is allowed to sell this flawed product and profit from it. It is deceitful. There was no attempt in producing a quality product here. The authors/publishers didn't take the simple step of proofreading their product prior to publishing.
