About the Course

It is important to note that when people talk about Blockchain, they are actually referring to the Blockchain ecosystem. The ecosystem comprises of 6 technologies with the Blockchain ledger being one of them. A more accurate word to describe the ecosystem is probably Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).

In this course, we learn about the different components of DLT and creating our own coin in Javascript to test our understanding of the subject. The best way to learn is to Do-It-Yourself. This a hands-on heavy course with basic programming knowledge assumed and Blockchain concepts introduced and explained in a practical way. Therefore, it is best conducted in a classroom environment led by our experienced instructors. At the end of the course, you have a strong foundation in your Blockchain development career.
