Learn about Ethereum blockchain development
If you are new to the blockchain technology, taking our Introduction to Blockchain Technology self-paced course is highly recommended. Also, for a comprehensive coverage of blockchain development in Ethereum or mastering Solidity programming, taking our below self paced courses is highly recommended:
In our previous article (Review of Ethereum Developer Chain Options), we discussed what Ethereum Chain Options are and how to use them.
In this article, we learn about Ethereum API and its console options.
If you have gone through the Setting up a local private Ethereum blockchain, you've already encountered a few API and console options:
$ geth --rpc --rpccorsdomain http://localhost:3000

Apart from the DApp namespaces such as eth, shh, and web3, geth allows the extra management API namespaces we mentioned previously:
In our next article (Review of Ethereum Networking Options), we discuss Ethereum Networking Options.
This article is written in collaboration with Brian Wu who is a leading author of “Learn Ethereum: Build your own decentralized applications with Ethereum and smart contracts” book. He has written 7 books on blockchain development.
