Introduction to Blockchain and Thereum

Overview

• Course Overview
• Build distributed applications that resolve data ownership issues when working with transactions between multiple parties. Blockchain applications provide a single-shared ledger to eliminate trust issues involving multiple stakeholders. With the help of Introduction to Blockchain and Ethereum, you'll learn how to create distributed blockchain applications which do not depend on a central server or datacenter. The course begins by explaining Bitcoin, Altcoins, and Ethereum, followed by taking you through distributed programming using the Solidity language on the Ethereum blockchain. By the end of this course, you'll be able to write, compile, and deploy your own smart contracts to the Ethereum blockchain.
  
  
• Audience
• Introduction to Blockchain and Ethereum is ideal for you if you want to get to grips with blockchain technology and develop your own distributed applications with smart contracts written in Solidity. Prior exposure to an object-oriented programming language such as JavaScript is needed, as you'll cover the basics before getting straight to work.
