Course Description

Now's the time! 

With the emergence of Facebook's cryptocurrency, Libra, companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM are also joining the virtual currencies trend. Blockchain development technology is anticipated to play a crucial role with IoT, medical, and even the real estate fields.

Step up your career to the next level by learning more about this new technology!


Why this course?

1. Learn by doing and not just listening!

This course provides a hands-on approach to learning about Blockchain concepts, intuition, and implementation. In this course, we'll be utilizing Blockchain technology and Go to develop a money transfer system.

2. Easy to understand

Confused by Blockchain? With much of Blockchain technology explained in complicated technical documents, many people may think of Blockchain as something that's confusing. But Blockchain and the technology underpinning the cryptocurrency, has the potential to revolutionize the platform for future network distribution systems.

3. Blockchain is the future

With a blockchain network, cross-border money transfers and many other transactions involving digital assets can all be made possible by just about anyone with access to the internet. But have you ever thought about how Blockchain can provide a solution for many of the challenges of registration related to land ownership and real estate? Implementation of a blockchain-based registry can enable the ownership documents to be recorded and assigned to an owner's user account. With Blockchain, every transaction is traceable, timestamped, and indisputable. Used in this way, blockchain can provide a highly secure record of ownership that can't be manipulated or lost. The possibilities of the uses of blockchain are endless - from voting systems to issuance of IDs such as passports - all can be made possible with blockchain technology.


Blockchain is the future and by understanding the concept and actually creating it from scratch, you'll be able to apply Blockchain in the real world.

At video 20, the code had 2 different implementations of "NewTransaction()", add the fact there was no tests written, it was difficult to debug why the signature verification was failing. The structure of the code could also be improved, they kept creating go modules with multiple structs in them when they could have been separated for better organization

Almost brilliant. Though there is a lot of line of codes I think the details were articulated correctly. This would definitely need another read. However, some of the concepts were a bit complicated, and needed some external reference to understand better in my view.

Muy buen curso además de que lleva paso a paso y considero solo darle un timpo adicional ya que los que pretendemos seguir los ejercicos, hay cosas que se pasan, pero muy buen curso!!!

By Yap Seng Kuang on 3/26/2023

To take this course, you need to have basic on Golang, as well as practical experiences in blockchain technology(not web3 experiences). You need to at least have look at geth code but don't understand how it work. After finish the course, i get the basic understanding and able to continue my learning on geth code!

It's a nice course to understand blockchain, and how it works. Help a lot to start to create some projects a get immersed in this new world. I think the course needs to bring us more information about how crypto coins are created on the blockchain and also about smart contracts.

This course is awesome. It teaches how to create our own blockchain from scratch, in go language. Before taking this course you should be familiar with go language and have a theoretical understanding of blockchain. I enjoyed it and it was worth the money and time. Thanks a lot :)

By Arjun Ghosh on 5/4/2022

From a coding perspective really enjoyed the lectures. The Go code instructions were clear. Hope to see more courses on similar topics from you.

By Anonymized User on 2/28/2022

Interesting content, but the intended level of the audience is unclear at times (if its suited towards beginners or intermediate in Go, or programming in general), and some explanations of why we are writing bits of code are often a bit vague

By Anonymized User on 2/17/2022

Really engaging and interesting course for any Go dev out there. Not only is this a good course of training and improving your skills in Go, but also as a good introduction to the way a blockchain works.
