The subtitle of this book, "Harnessing Bitcoin's Blockchain Technology",  is important to understanding what it's about. It shows developers how to take advantage of the decentralization and trustless common knowledge structures of blockchain cryptography to build dapps, decentralized applications. Siraj Raval clearly explains what a dapp is, and shows you how to make use of decentralized storage, bandwidth, and computing.
