Blockchain Development
Course Description
This instructor-led course is designed for programmers and developers who want to take a comprehensive deep dive in writing smart contracts and building applications that interact with them. This course provides detailed overviews of Ethereum, smart contracts, and the development language Solidity. The students will be exposed to Ethereum's adaptable feature set which allows the developer to design decentralized applications for countless applications. Students will also participate in hands-on programming lab sessions to learn, develop, and advance their skills in Ethereum development.
What will you learn?
By the end of the course students will:
- understand the basic and/or fundamental aspects of Blockchain technology from a technical view;
- develop the skills necessary to write and deploy smart contracts for the most popular blockchain protocol – Ethereum;
- learn the most popular programming language for blockchain development as well as the most popular blockchain development frameworks;
- know about the tools and best practices for creating successful smart contracts;
- know what crypto tokens are, why they are used, and how to create and deploy them;
- learn the basic principles to follow when developing blockchain applications (dApps);
- understand the difference between conventional software and decentralized applications;
