Overview

Any IT professional or hobbyist anticipating a solid understanding of how blockchain technology works and desires an understanding of blockchain's use cases and potential (including cryptocurrencies and distributed applications) needs to go through this course to leverage blockchain in new or existing development projects. Anyone desiring to learn how blockchain solutions are designed, configured, and developed needs the knowldege and practice presented in this course. This not only includes web, mobile, and service application developers, but also architects, UI designers, testers, and administrators. This course provides a solid understanding of how blockchain technology works and a solid foundation for platform evaluation and learning lower level details.

This course was built for forward-looking developers who create solutions for mobile, web, and beyond. This course is designed for those developers who want to begin working with blockchain technology and need a good springboard to start their descent into this deep and detailed set of technologies, theories, and implementations. This course focuses on the primary components of blockchain technology and weaves them together to create a solid understanding of the blockchain stack component's interactions and dependencies. Of course, the info presented here is just as valuable for architects, testers, and product managers as they too should understand how blockchain products are designed and used to create the next level of distributed ledger tech.This course IS NOT intended for non-technical students. The content presented is in the context of technical review.

Before taking this course, a student should ideally (but not absolutely) have some experience in:

Creating applications with Javascript
Some exposure to cryptocurrencies, either via the markets or from a technical standpointJavaScript development of complete web app solutions.


BLOCKCHAIN EXPERIENCE IS NOT REQUIRED!!!

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
