Module 4 - Smart Contracts & Ethereum - Video Overview | Vibe-Coding-Blockchain

Welcome to the Video Overview for Module 4 of the Blockchain-Vibe-Coding series. In this high-yield audio brief, we explore the transition from simple digital ledgers (like Bitcoin) to fully programmable blockchains. Listen in as we break down the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), explain the concept of "code as law," and unpack the mechanics of Smart Contracts using our classic vending machine analogy. This is the perfect quick-review companion for your commute before we dive into writing and deploying our own code in the live sessions! 📅 Join the Live Program Participate in the live interactive cohorts every Wednesday: https://luma.com/4oxemdrl 💻 Lesson Resources & Slide Decks Follow along with the official course materials: Main Course GitHub Repository: https://github.com/smwebsystems/vibe-coding-blockchain Module 4 Content Repository: https://github.com/smwebsystems/vibe-coding-blockchain/tree/main/module-4-smart-contracts/content Module 4 Presentation Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/title-vibe-coding-blockchain-module-4-smart-contracts-ethereum-slides/287615539 Module 4 Lesson PDF: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/vibe-coding-blockchain-module-4-smart-contracts-ethereum-lesson/287615126 Module 4 Study Guide: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/vibe-coding-blockchain-module-4-smart-contracts-ethereum-study-guide/287615252 🎬 Playlists & Communities Supporting Course Videos Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW1Q7lIExOM&list=PL6x19QC2pW48gwwO9EWX2TZUjrn2AaDSr WhatsApp Support Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JOnblGNycGaAHWMOcysiBg 🎧 Key Topics Covered in this Video Brief Ethereum: Building the Decentralized "World Computer" What is a Smart Contract?
