Using the JVM as a Platform for Smart Contracts and Cryptocurrency
Offered By: Devoxx via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the intersection of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) technology and cryptocurrency in this 54-minute conference talk. Dive into the fundamentals of cryptocurrency before delving deep into Java bytecode and classloading to discover a novel approach for adapting the JVM environment to run 'smart contracts'. Learn how these contracts apply to distributed cryptographic ledgers, blockchains, and cryptocurrencies. Examine a real-world example based on R3's Corda ledger, part of the Hyperledger project, and discuss future directions and practical applications. Gain insights into the JVM's bytecode and classloading subsystems, with no prior knowledge of distributed ledgers, cryptocurrency, or blockchains required. Benefit from the expertise of Ben Evans, an accomplished author, speaker, entrepreneur, consultant, and educator with extensive experience in performance tooling, finance, and e-commerce.
