Course Info:
Course Introduction
The demand for Blockchain developers is strong
today, and the technology is positioned for rapid
growth as it gains greater acceptance worldwide.
This course has been designed in collaboration
with active Blockchain developers who have
projects running throughout the world —
developers who know precisely what skills need
to be learned to become proficient in this exciting
new technology.
In this course, students will gain extensive
knowledge of what Blockchain is and how it
works, with a focus on Ethereum and Smart
Contracts. Students will become proficient with
the Solidity programming language, and they will
learn how to develop a range of Smart Contracts.
In addition, they will gain industry knowledge of
where Blockchain
is being applied today and what makes a strong
Blockchain use case.
