Frameworks: Truffle and Embark

Abstract

So far we have discussed the Ethereum architecture, Solidity programming, and the Ethereum client, including setting it up and compiling, running, and debugging Dapps. That’s a lot of work, isn’t it? In this chapter, let’s discuss two leading frameworks, Truffle and Embark, that will provide a set of tools and boilerplate code for scaffolding Dapps for Ethereum. The frameworks will do much of the work themselves and leave you with only a few tasks.
