I am reading "Bitcoin Programming" by Mostafa Farghaly and "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas Antonopoulos...this couldn't have been released at a better time!
How do you like Bitcoin Programming? Does it go into more depth regarding programming than Mastering Bitcoin? Is Farghaly's books available for free online like Antonopoulos's is (see my signature)?

Yeah, it looks like a cool way to discover much of the basic API.

In early 2014 BitPay released Bitcore, an open source JavaScript library forked from the BitcoinJS project. We designed Bitcore to help developers jump into building Bitcoin projects more easily, and we have been actively improving on its functionality and usability. Today we are are releasing an online app to showcase Bitcore’s capabilities: the Bitcore Playground
The Bitcore Playground is an interactive guide to using the Bitcore library and lowers the learning curve for Bitcoin. The Playground was made because we are incredibly excited about the existing ideas and projects that are being built on top of our open source projects, and we would like to fuel even more innovation by making our projects straightforward to use for developers entering the Bitcoin sphere. The Playground was designed to be used as an online swiss army knife for everyday technical needs and a guide for anyone looking to use our platform.
It features private key generation and address derivation, BIP32 hierarchical key derivation, P2SH multisig address generation from a set of public keys, and transaction building capabilities.

While I am very knowledgeable when it comes to cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin I am just now starting to develop my own bitcoin projects. This is really a great resource as I am reading "Bitcoin Programming" by Mostafa Farghaly and "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas Antonopoulos...this couldn't have been released at a better time!
