Course Description

So you want to deploy a blockchain but are overwhelmed by the sea of information out there that is half-baked and seems to want to do too much at the same time.

If so, this course is for you. We will start by explaining exactly what a blockchain is from a technical perspective instead of a high-level business overview. We start from absolute zero, assume no background and give the details only as much as necessary. Then, we move on to the highly popular and industry backed blockchain framework -- Hyperledger Fabric and its high-level library -- Composer. We explain how to set everything up and then move to creating our first blockchain and then a smart contract.

We will also cover how this blockchain can be used from an existing application using a REST API. This would enable you to start using blockchains in your own applications that can benefit from a blockchain or distributed ledger.

We take a case study-based approach and motivate why we need the commands we're running and how everything fits together. If there is a concept that is typically covered in similar courses but isn't immediately necessary for deploying our first smart contract, we'll skip it. We aim to have our first smart contract up and running in about an hour and then integrate with it from outside the Fabric environment by the end of this course -- a total of about 1.
5 hours.

There is also a real-time chat system in place for students who enroll in this course. With a free signup, you get access to real-time chat with myself and fellow students who are working to complete this course (or have completed the course before you). We plan on creating this network of like-minded experts who can help each other out and collaborate on exciting ideas together.

This course is about a deprecated technology (Hyperledger Composer), the online Playground is not available, the Mac version doesn't load playground either.

By Joo Vieira on 11/13/2020

great explanations, right on the points, perfectly understood

By Iain Michie on 11/4/2020

I very much liked the course. My disappointment stems from the fact that Composer is deprecated and I didn't know that. It doesn't detract from the rest of the course but I'm left wondering if the time could have been better spent on Fabric. Regardless, thank you.

By Kalmesh Sindagi on 9/20/2020

so far nothing new I came across

By Viswas Menon on 9/19/2020

The course was very well structured, Helped me to understand the concepts clearly

By Juan Medina on 9/15/2020

Very good content.

By Amit Rana on 9/6/2020

interesting and well explained

By Irina Dragos on 8/9/2020

good match. Had to stop and google Nonce as it was not explained.

By Yash Aryan on 8/8/2020

I had so much trouble understanding the concept of a nonce before but thanks to you, you made it crystal clear

By In Bae Chung on 8/3/2020

I was so confused trying to set up a blockchain by myself. This course provided me the proper instructions to set up and implement a blockchain.

By Anonymized User on 7/17/2020

the course is easy to understand even for someone who has no programming background. It is recommended for those who are interested to understand better about the technicality of blockchain
