Blockchain Series
The four courses of the Blockchain series focus on blockchain basics, smart contracts, decentralized applications, and blockchain platforms.
About the Courses
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.
