Author Jimmy Song shows Python programmers and developers how to program a Bitcoin library from scratch. You'll learn how to work with the basics, including the math, blocks, network, and transactions behind this popular cryptocurrency and its blockchain payment system. By the end of the book, you'll understand how this cryptocurrency works under the hood by coding all the components necessary for a Bitcoin library. Learn how to create transactions, get the data you need from peers, and send transactions over the network. Whether you're exploring Bitcoin applications for your company or considering a new career path, this practical book will get you started. Parse, validate, and create bitcoin transactions Learn Script, the smart contract language behind Bitcoin Do exercises in each chapter to build a Bitcoin library from scratch Understand how proof-of-work secures the blockchain Program Bitcoin using Python 3 Understand how simplified payment verification and light wallets work Work with public-key cryptography and cryptographic primitives Review: Exceptional primer on becoming a Bitcoin developer - If you're interested in programming Bitcoin and you have some coding knowledge then this is the only book you'll need. It starts from the very beginning and assumes no knowledge. The mathematics are explained clearly in small bite sized chunks and built upon so you understand the why, not just the what. When you understand why things are the way the are then everything else clicks so much faster. The other stand out from the book is the use of Jupyter notebooks. I'd never used these before but it means you can focus on just the next element being explained and in a few lines find out whether you understand the concept being explained. I’ll find it hard to read a technical book again if it doesn’t have these. By the time you get to SegWit you’ll have a much greater appreciation of the elegance of Bitcoin and the fantastic work being done by the Bitcoin Core developers. I have 20 years development experience but I felt like I was back in school reading this book. In a good way. I found it challenging and at times frustrating but always enjoyable. This is the book I’ll be recommending to people when the ask about Bitcoin. What a great resource for the community! David O’Callaghan Review: An excellent book, spot on target. - A great book which combines theory and practical exercises. The training code environment is easy to set up and work with. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,019,963 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 473 in General Introduction to Programming 761 in Programming Languages & Tools 887 in E-Commerce (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 171 Reviews | ## Images ![Programming Bitcoin: Learn How to Program Bitcoin from Scratch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wtm6WbjuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional primer on becoming a Bitcoin developer *by D***N on 17 February 2019* If you're interested in programming Bitcoin and you have some coding knowledge then this is the only book you'll need.

David O’Callaghan ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent book, spot on target. *by R***R on 16 August 2019* A great book which combines theory and practical exercises. The training code environment is easy to set up and work with. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential book for those new to bitcoin development *by L***N on 13 February 2019* This book is an essential read for new Bitcoin developers. It takes you from the very beginning with elliptical curve cryptography through to more recent bitcoin additions such as segwit. The code samples are well thought out and easy enough to follow along. I highly recommend this book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Programming Bitcoin: Learn How to Program Bitcoin from Scratch - Mastering Bitcoin: Programming the Open Blockchain - Mastering the Lightning Network: A Second Layer Blockchain Protocol for Instant Bitcoin Payments --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/80238496-programming-bitcoin-learn-how-to-program-bitcoin-from-scratch](https://www.desertcart.it/products/80238496-programming-bitcoin-learn-how-to-program-bitcoin-from-scratch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
