Build A Blockchain And A Cryptocurrency From Scratch
Overview:
Introduction
Build a blockchain and cryptocurrency. Discover the engineering ideas behind technologies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, A blockchain's operating protocol is also known as its consensus mechanism, Build a Blockchain in the object-oriented programming style, and Generate hashes for blocks in the chain.
Course Objectives
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
-
Discuss the implementation of Blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
-
Understand main blockchain concepts like Proof-of-Work, mining, peer-to-peer connections, etc.
-
Build their own blockchain and cryptocurrency.
-
Create a NodeJS application with real-time WebSocket connections.
-
Build an API with NodeJS and Express.
Targeted Audience
-
Familiarity with using a code editor and the command line.
-
Some JavaScript experience will help, but every line is explained. This is not a course on advanced JS, but uses JS to build the concepts. By focusing on the concepts, the JS will become clear.
-
Some programming experience will definitely help. If you've never coded before, then this course will probably move too quickly.
