Summary
In this chapter, we introduced the business use case that the following chapters will leverage to create a context around the code we will write. We have also deployed our first Hyperledger Fabric network and have now transitioned from theory to practice. Well done!
The next few chapters will take you through the development of a blockchain application from the bottom up: (1) smart contracts using Java, Node.js, and developer tools, and (2) higher-layer business applications using the Fabric Gateway SDK and VS Code.
Through this exercise, we hope to give you an understanding of the flexibility of the solution and the ability to leverage each tool in the right context. To get ready for the next chapter, you should now stop your network using ./trade.sh down.
