⭐ Introducing Ethereum Studio
As we speak we’re excited to launch v 1.0 of Ethereum Studio: a easy web-based IDE, which lives proper on ethereum.org
One of the crucial constant recommendations we’ve acquired for Ethereum.org is to enhance the developer expertise. Whereas the positioning pointed customers to in depth third-party sources, it lacked a compelling path that will pull a developer in direction of instantly attempting out Ethereum.
Ethereum Studio’s objective is to let builders get began constructing on Ethereum inside minutes, with as little friction as potential. Studio lets customers:
- Write and check sensible contracts within the browser
- Join sensible contracts to a front-end internet app
- Bootstrap their app with 3 template tutorials
- Share your challenge in a single click on
Together with the Studio itself, we’ve added a brand new “Getting Started” web page to the Developer part. It is a extra newbie pleasant touchdown web page for builders, which introduces the Studio and gives hyperlinks to different web-based studying experiences.
The objective of Studio isn’t to exchange or compete with the in depth web-based studying experiences already accessible for Ethereum. As an alternative, we wish Studio to be a straightforward first-step to interact a developer and get them hooked earlier than directing them to different sources, instruments, or occasions to proceed their journey into Ethereum.
To construct Ethereum Studio, we collaborated with Superblocks. We will’t thank the Superblocks workforce sufficient for the exhausting work they’ve put into this software. We additionally wish to thank many others who made this challenge potential: Andreas Wallendahl, Chris Ward, Robbie Bent, Martin Tellechea, and the many individuals who offered suggestions and recommendations.
Ethereum Studio is open-source, and all the code is offered here. We’ll be persevering with to enhance the Studio over time, and have already got many enhancements deliberate for v 1.1. If you wish to get entangled, discover ways to contribute here! For those who simply wish to present suggestions, please fill out this short survey.
