When you’re writing, running, or debugging your smart contract, you don’t want to have to deal with raw binary data.

2019-7-26 Marley Gray, Guest Blogger, Microsoft, Principal Architect - Azure Blockchain
To some, the sudden rise of Tokens in the blockchain dialog comes as a surprise. However, tokens have always been the bedrock of the blockchain movement. The introduction of SmartContract by Ethereum quickly overshadowed them, particularly in enterprise contexts. The capabilities of Smart Contracts and the broad acceptance of them, thanks to companies like Truffle, blazed a trail forward and we all went along. It wasn’t until we got halfway up the trail that someone turned around and asked, “did we pack any trail mix?”

As a new full-time member of the team, I've first taken to looking at our existing materials to ensure that everything is up-to-date and working well.

2017-7-6 Tim Coulter
When users begin developing on Ethereum, the first question they ask is, "Where do I start?". In the past, there hasn't been an easy answer: the answer generally consisted of many flavors of "it depends", and usually led to an investigation of what the user was trying to build, a general overview of their development skills, their knowledge of Ethereum, and the libraries and tools they're already most comfortable with. When determining how the Truffle team can help in this process, it quickly became apparent that what our users needed were examples. Many of them. So, being the upstanding community members we are, we set out to create those example, and today, we're happy to show you what we've accomplished.
