Overview

Blockchain developers are in short supply and in hot demand. The job of developing blockchain distributed ledgers for businesses was recently ranked first among the top 20 fastest-growing job skills. The fastest and easiest way to be involved in this fascinating new field is to get enough knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts and then just immediately jump to the implementation and get your hands wet. That way you will be more confident in going deeper in understanding blockchain technology and its potential in developing the next generation of decentralized applications.

This course will begin with a basic introduction to blockchain fundamentals. Moving ahead, you will get familiarized with mining and how it works. Further, you will learn how to build a blockchain. In the process of building a blockchain, you will learn to create a block and the UI to generate the Wallet. You will also learn to build the UI that allows users to make transactions. Furthermore, you will explore how to generate the signature, implement the mining functionality, implement the hash method, and implement the proof-of-work. You will also learn how to resolve the conflicts between nodes and configure the network nodes. Finally, you will explore end-to-end testing.

By the end of the course, you will have an understanding of how to build your own blockchain-based bitcoin network.
