Basic Questions
***************
What is Solidity?
Example contracts
=================
Solidity is the DEV-created (i.e. Ethereum Foundation-created),
Javascript-inspired language that can be used to create smart contracts
on the Ethereum blockchain. There are other
languages you can use as well (LLL, Serpent, etc). The main points in
favour of Solidity is that it is statically typed and offers many
advanced features like inheritance, libraries, complex
user-defined types and a bytecode optimizer.
There are some `contract examples <https://github.com/fivedogit/solidity-baby-steps/tree/master/contracts/>`_ by fivedogit and
there should be a `test contract <https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/blob/develop/test/libsolidity/SolidityEndToEndTest.cpp>`_ for every single feature of Solidity.

Solidity
========
Solidity is a high-level language whose syntax is similar to that of JavaScript
and it is designed to compile to code for the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
Solidity is a contract-oriented, high-level language whose syntax is similar to that of JavaScript
and it is designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
Solidity is statically typed, supports inheritance, libraries and complex
user-defines types among other features.
As you will see, it is possible to create contracts for voting,
crowdfunding, blind auctions, multi-signature wallets and more.
