I am the author, and I think the best way to get started is by looking at existing contracts, which are generally written in Solidity, Ethereum's language for writing smart contracts. Here are a few examples that I found helpful:

- https://github.com/etherpot/contract/blob/master/app/contrac... - https://etherdice.io/#contract - https://ethereumpyramid.com/contract.html - And of course the main docs, http://solidity.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ (see also https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Solidity-Features)

Once you have a smart contract, it's a good idea to provide some interface to help people interact with it. There are a number of JS libraries to help you interact with Ethereum available at https://github.com/ethereumjs.

Adding a couple more, i.e. 3 of mine - tried to comment thoroughly.

In my experience it is not that much of an uphill battle to start, it is quite similar to the stuff devs do in their normal dayjob.

Please contact me using my email address or kwikiel at Gmail. I would like to ask you few question about feasibility and technical complexity of creating things on the ethereum

Once Ethereum's gas price adjustment is operating, what would you think of an option contract that uses the gas price data instead of an external feed?
