Good Training

By Shahar K on 25-Jul-19

Very bad course. Jumps between high level boring specs to demos with too many details, the high level and demos just don't connect. also the "Module Objective" and "Summary" slides takes too much time from a few minutes sections, making them feel strange and old fashioned.

New ideas on how to use and create new shared ledgers like blockchain, an interesting overview

By Randhir N on 30-Jun-19

Good one

By Jonny T on 21-May-19

The associated english dialog is often incorrect and confusing, the end project has not been kept up to date with the ipfs UI. for example there is no Connection Tab in the IPFS.
