Writing this entry as I do this ETH Token Standards tutorial on bitDegree.

### First, download Ganache and Truffle via npm

Getting set up with the right versions of Ganache and Truffle is an entire process in itself but I was able to set this up with VS code after some trial and error on the command line. Note to self, use Homebrew and be ready for the llvm npm library to take a very very long time.

Also, set up everything I needed in VS code.

### NOT a developer, but dangerous enough.

Ok so I was able to complete this but I had the same conclusion as I did after completing a React.JS course.. I am NOT a developer at heart. But with that being said I do feel like it was good to go through the motions to see how the file structure works.

I think my goal is to understand the technical blockchain language and be able to follow/hear, but I don’t think I will be the one to explain/speak to the deep technical aspects so I will not try here.

I’m really glad I learned Node.JS back in 2014.
-----------------------------------------------

The modular nature of the blockchain was easy to catch on because of it.

I think this course gives me the confidence to deploy eth smart contracts on test nests using copied code from github, which is valuable. I think I’m good on deep learning for now.. I need to move on for now.
