Blockchain Fundamentals

This course will teach you how to get productive with blockchain development quickly in a practical way. The focus is on Ethereum development and the concepts presented is equally relevant to other implementations.

Hello, and welcome to Pluralsight! My name is Jan-Erik Sandberg, and I want to give you a quick overview of my course, Blockchain Fundamentals. It’s designed to help you get productive with blockchain development quickly in a practical way, and covers things like exploring the Ethereum blockchain, smart contract development, DAPP development, and how to create private blockchains. You'll also set up the development environment and all pre-requirements from a clean Microsoft Windows image, making the course easy to follow. After learning the basics, you'll create a fully functional sample application. Your sample application is a distributed application that ensures a secure and trustworthy product lifecycle trail for batches of food, using blockchain technology. With the sample application, you'll also learn how to share secrets between collaborating parties in a blockchain. Along the way, you’ll be using [list major tools being used]. When you’re done, you’ll be ready to create your own blockchain contracts and distributed applications with a functional development environment that makes you productive for years to come. I look forward to working with you on Blockchain Fundamentals, here at Pluralsight.
