Udemy Class #2
Tempted by the price ($10) , I signed up for another Udemy Ethereum developer course. This one however promises more than the other; this course is specific to Dapp development, has 9.5 hours of instruction, received a 4.6/5 rating and is a "best seller" on Udemy.

I am excited about this class because it promises to go more in-depth with solidity AND also explains Truffle and Web3.js.
Truffle: Truffle is a development environment, testing framework and asset pipeline for Ethereum, aiming to make life as an Ethereum developer easier. With Truffle, you get:
- Built-in smart contract compilation, linking, deployment and binary management.
- Automated contract testing with Mocha and Chai.
- Configurable build pipeline with support for custom build processes.
- Scriptable deployment & migrations framework.
- Network management for deploying to many public & private networks.
- Interactive console for direct contract communication.
- Instant rebuilding of assets during development.
- External script runner that executes scripts within a Truffle environment.

Web3.js: is the Ethereum compatible JavaScript API which implements the Generic JSON RPC spec. It's available on npm as a node module, for bower and component as an embeddable js and as a meteor.js package.

ALSO THIS WEEKEND I MOVE INTO SAN FRANSISCO
Very excited to move into San Fransisco for the Horizons Coding Bootcamp I'll be attending this Fall. However, I am living in the Tenderloin District, aka the worst neighborhood in SF, so we'll see how that goes!
