Kirill explains conceptual aspect from Blockchain to Smart Contract really well, and Hadelin provides a step-by-step walkthrough to the programming aspect to an intuitive level. Overall, this was a great course, but I really hope they release updated video relating to Smart Contract demonstration, as the software used to deploy contracts, MyEtherWallet, is currently outdated (I considered using MetaMask to deploy and interact with my contract).
By Nicholas Palubinski on 1/1/2026
The course was very useful - the instructors impart the theory and 'intuition' as well as offer the opportunity to roll your sleeves up an implement from scratch a simple block chain, cryptocurrency, and smart contract. The instructors clearly know their stuff. The reason I can't give the course a 5/5 is that a significant minority of the external material - articles, resources, software, etc. - is out of date and non-existent. The course could do with a general update.

Overall It was great course and I would highly recommend it for beigneers. It starts from very basic and then builds up. Only one thing that I think should be improved is the section of "Alt Coins". I was expecting a better explanation there, so I would suggest adding more coins in this section and more importantly a good explanation in this section. Overall throughout the course there was no sigle point I could say was not upto the mark. Leaving a rating of 4.5 so authors could see and improve this otherwise it would be a straight 5.

Unfortunately this course is out of date. I am not sure why the material hasn't been updated by the instructors. The code examples in module 2 and module 3 need debugging and they don't work straight away. Also the smart contract modifier in module 3 hasn't been demoed by the instructor. I would rename this course from "Blockchain A-Z: Learn Blockchain, Cryptos & Smart Contracts" to "Blockchain: An Introduction" to reflect the reality.

This is a very good course for understanding blockchain however Ethereum is not touched that much and solidity is also explained very fast and less explanation is given for that the only disappointment in this wonderful course, this course has explained the Blockchain concept and Bitcoin concept very well, i would recommend this course to beginners to this field like i am. Cheers!!!

Such a brilliant course. My understanding of programming logic increased exponentially after taking these lectures. The only negative is that by the end of the course you will have more questions than when you started, and that is because during this course you will truly understand the unlimited potentially of blockchain technology, thanks to these guys explaining the concepts so clearly through out. I didn't get much help on the Q&A when I asked questions (I still have one pending) but I am not sure if that is because they are trying to get me to work it out myself. Thanks team superdatascience

Good clear and informed

I liked the way they explained what I will get out of this course and. Elaborate.
By Julie Desourdy on 10/24/2020
Great Course! Learned a lot.
Some of the practical cases are outdated, mostly the code doesn't work in the newer version of some tools and there are no workaround other than "use the old version".
This is a minor detail, the rest is very informative.
By Jon D on 10/23/2020
Most of the course felt unscripted and it was a tedious experience to go through. Did not live up to the high expectations the introduction presented.
