Overview of the Project

What are we building?

We briefly covered this in the previous lesson, but let’s go over it in more detail. The idea is to create a simple smart contract backend and a Next.js-powered frontend. The backend will be written in Solidity. All code written for the smart contract will be done in a Remix IDE integrated into this platform; we won’t need to switch tabs or browsers for that. In addition to manual testing and calling functions, we’ll also be covering unit testing in Solidity using Truffle to ensure our contract runs the way we intended. At the end, we’ll deploy this contract locally and to Ethereum test networks. We’ll call our project SolJobs.

You’ll want to create a new, separate workspace for this project on Remix. Let’s get started.
