This book is mostly intended for coders. If you can use a programming language, this book will teach you how cryptographic currencies work, how to use them and how to develop software that works with them. The first few chapters are also suitable as an in-depth introduction to bitcoin for non-coders - those trying to understand the inner workings of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. The examples are illustrated in Python and on the command-line of a Unix-like operating system such as Linux. This book is mostly intended for coders.

=== Early-Release Note === Github Source Code
The early release version of the book is a *raw and rough draft* and will change regularly. New chapters will be added as they are drafted and there will be plenty of changes to the content, examples and diagrams. There will be factual and technical errors in the early release and some of the examples may not work or refer to obsolete versions of the code. Nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy the content and find it useful. I also hope that you will take the opportunity to "fork" the source code of the book and provide feedback by creating a pull request or submitting a patch. I present this work in the spirit of Cunningham's Law, named after the inventor of the wiki, Ward Cunningham: This book is available on Github, as a repository that contains the text, images and code:
_The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, it's to post the wrong answer_ https://github.com/aantonop/bitcoinbook
I hope you can help me find and publish the "right answer" by the time this book is ready to print. Fork the book code, try the code examples, or submit corrections via Github.
