Blockchain Developer Program (BDP)


Description

For the Blockchain Developer Online Bootcamp 2020 registration now open, click here.

In this course, we start off by teaching you about the underpinnings of blockchain technology and show how it all comes together to allow us to build the next generation of web applications. The earlier modules have more video and provide more of an overview of the relevant technology, while later modules get technical and have more hands-on coding exercises and walk-throughs. We will explore the Solidity, a programming language for Smart Contracts that lets you interact with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. We will walk you through many types of smart contract code, introduce you to key development tools, and show you all the best practices for smart contract development, all to prepare you for the final project towards the end of the course.
