ÐApp tutorial starter-kit for Booky Poobah workshop
What is a ÐApp?
ÐApp is an abbreviated form for decentralized application.
A ÐApp has its backend code running on a decentralized peer-to-peer network. Contrast this with an app where the backend code is running on centralized servers.
A ÐApp can have frontend code and user interfaces written in any language (just like an app) that can make calls to its backend. Furthermore, its frontend can be hosted on decentralized storage such as Swarm or IPFS.
