Decentralizing the internet with JavaScript

" summary

A practical primer that shows how to build and run a voting dApp: smart contracts in Solidity, local node with Ganache, project scaffolding and migrations with Truffle, and browser interaction through MetaMask using Web3. The demo compiles and deploys a contract, exposes an address, requires ether/gas to send transactions, enforces one vote per address, and proves immutability (bugs and rules persist). Local nodes are ephemeral so redeploys are necessary; CryptoZombies is recommended to learn hands‑on.
