Description

It’s
the perfect time to start learning blockchain technology, and we’ve
got the perfect course to help you master it!


Originally
designed by Satoshi Nakamoto for his Bitcoins, Blockchain has evolved
to become something much bigger. It is no longer limited to
implementations in cryptocurrencies,
but instead is spreading its
reach into other segments as well such as database, finance, IoT, and
so on.



So,
what exactly is Blockchain?
The term Blockchain refers
to a list of records that constantly grow when more information is
added to it. These blocks (chains of information) are linked and
secured using cryptography.


So,
if you like to stay ahead of the technology boom and get your hands
on the next best thing, this course is made just for you! The course
has been designed from the ground up to give you simple and easy to
understand course on Blockchain. Using a jargon free approach, you
will learn what exactly Blockchain is, what are it’s different
implementations, how to get
started with building your own blockchain application
from scratch, and so much more!


The
focus of this effective guide will be to help you get a more hands-on
approach that includes the
supportive theory as well. However, we will not bore you with just
theory that doesn’t help you understand the implementations or even
how to work with the technology once you finish this course.



The
course focuses on helping
you learn the core concepts of Blockchains, including how the
Blockchain is changing the way people trade, important
cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, how a distributed
ledger works and why big banks and software companies are excited
about this technology.


That’s
not all, you’ll also get to learn practical applications
of Blockchain by building a functional widget application from
scratch. At the end of this
course, you’ll not only have a fantastic understanding of
Blockchain technology, but you’ll also know how to exactly utilize
blockchain and build applications with it. That’s not all. You’ll
also have access to resource files and you can even add the app we
build in this course to your resume, which means you’ll already
start off with an app!


So,
enroll now and let’s get started on building your very own
Blockchain app!
