Dapp development¶

fail early and loudly (use "function modifiers":http://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contracts.html#function-modifiers)
favour pull over push (in order to avoid stuck contracts and "reentrancy issues:hackingdistributed.com/2016/07/13/reentrancy-woes/). Can inherit this pattern from "here":https://github.com/OpenZep/zep-solidity/blob/master/contracts/PullPaymentCapable.sol
order: conditions, actions, interactions
Be aware of "EVM":http://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction-to-smart-contracts.html#overview platform limits (e.g. avoid var i = 0 counters for loops as they default to uint8 and will easily and silently overflow, gas limits, max stack depth 1024 entries)
Write tests (see "Truffle Framework":https://github.com/ConsenSys/truffle/blob/master/docs/getting_started/testing.md)
Fault tolerance (see "Stoppable":https://github.com/OpenZep/zep-solidity/blob/master/contracts/Stoppable.sol) and "builtin bug bounties":https://github.com/OpenZep/zep-solidity/blob/master/contracts/Bounty.sol
Limit amount of funds deposited
Be modular and reuse existing code (as usual)

"gethdev":https://github.com/amacneil/gethdev is a convencience wrapper for geth in dev mode. I needed to manually create an account on first run: @web3.personal.newAccount@. Arguments set in env var @GETHDEV_OPTS@ in @~/.bashrc.

"testrpc":https://github.com/ethereumjs/testrpc is a dev friendly JS Ethereum Client
