1.What does the source code do？ 2.Is the Parity client connected directly to the Ethernet server? thanks

1.What does the source code do？

Thank you for that question, I'll try to quickly wrap this up. This repository contains source-code for multiple connected projects. This is mainly the Parity Ethereum Client implementation (see parity/, ethcore/, etc.) and the graphical user interface, the so called Parity Wallet (see js/, dapps/, etc.). This repository also includes some more rust crates and binaries, most importantly tools like ethkey/, ethstore/, evmbin/, etc. If you have any more specific questions, please let me know.

2.Is the Parity client connected directly to the Ethernet server? thanks

Yes, however, Ethereum is not a server in traditional terms. Ethereum is a peer-to-peer network powering a decentralized computing platform. The server in this context is the Ethereum blockchain. You might want to skim through the FAQ on Reddit. Parity is an independent implementation of the Ethereum protocol and enables you to be part of this network with a full or light node.

Thanks。But I still have a question, what does the Parity mainly do, what is the purpose of providing the source code

5chdn commented 6 years ago

Parity is an Ethereum client, written from the ground-up for correctness-verifiability, modularisation, low-footprint and high-performance. To this end it utilises the Rust language, a hybrid imperative/OO/functional language with an emphasis on efficiency. It is professionally developed by Parity Technologies, a VC-funded UK-based company. We aim to have all important logic 100% unit-tested, all public APIs 100% documented, all code reviewed by multiple peers and follow a pipelined 7-ish-week release cycle similar to the Rust compiler.

Please check our wiki for some more details on what it does.

I want to configure a local ETH chain. Do you have a detailed tutorial? thank you

5chdn commented 6 years ago

Yes! https://github.com/paritytech/parity/wiki/Private-development-chain

If I use the Parity client, I can only use the dapps to realize the function I want to achieve?

5chdn commented 6 years ago

Depends on what you want to do, but usually DApps are the way to go yes.

1.If I want to use the Parity client, can I only write smart contracts? 2.Can you modify the Parity source to implement the local chain of your server？ Thank you very much.
