Blockchain is an innovative new way of recording transactions in a distributed public ledger. Bitcoin! The cryptocurrency that has been applauded, ridiculed, hacked (well, not directly), and dismissed. Yet it is trading at a high exchange rate against the USD. Whatever the fate of bitcoin, the technological breakthrough is worth studying. Blockchain is the distributed and decentralized database technology behind this cryptocurrency.
This course is designed to provide the participant with an introduction to Blockchain programming using the Ethereum platform. During the semester, homework will be assigned to create your own crypto-currency, create your own private blockchain, mine for tokens, build smart contracts, and decentralized applications (Dapps). The hands-on exercises, coupled with the in-class discussions will prepare the student with the knowledge sought by businesses looking to use blockchain technology.
Some programming experience is needed.
