Blockchain Series

Blockchain technology is expected to revolutionize the world and is advancing at an unprecedented pace. This series’ four courses introduce foundational concepts of the blockchain, which enables peer-to-peer transfer of digital assets without any intermediaries. They are ideal for the beginning developer who is comfortable programming in a high-level language and desires to advance his/her career in the blockchain field, as well as those curious about the Internet-like technology and its vast possibilities. The courses prepare learners to program on the Ethereum blockchain, design and implement smart contracts, and develop decentralized applications.

The Blockchain series is a collaboration of the UB Computer Science and Engineering Department, UB Center for Industrial Effectiveness and industry partners.
