Blockchain Developer- Beginner
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this program is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of how blockchain technology works and why it has advantages over traditional Web 2.0 systems. The program will specifically focus on public blockchains like Ethereum, and participants will learn how to gather and analyze data from EthScan, a popular Ethereum blockchain explorer.
OUTCOMES:
Understand the fundamental concepts of blockchain technology, including consensus mechanisms, cryptography, and distributed ledger technology.
Explain the key differences between Web 2.0 systems and blockchain technology, and articulate the advantages of using blockchain for decentralized applications (dApps).
Demonstrate knowledge of public blockchains, particularly Ethereum, and understand the role of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Ether (ETH) as a native cryptocurrency.
Utilize EthScan to gather data from the Ethereum blockchain, including transaction history, smart contracts, and token transfers.
Analyze and interpret data from EthScan to gain insights into the activity, trends, and performance of the Ethereum blockchain and its dApps.
Evaluate the security, scalability, and interoperability aspects of public blockchains like Ethereum, and understand the challenges and potential solutions for blockchain adoption in various industries
SCOPE:
Introduction to blockchain technology: history, concepts, and applications.
Comparison of Web 2.0 systems and blockchain technology.
