Blockchain for Developers Courses by Skillup Online

 

This series of blockchain developer courses will take you from blockchain basics to developing enterprise-ready IoT supply chain applications for blockchain business networks. These classes were designed and taught by experts with a wide range of experience in the blockchain and IoT space, including professional services firms, startups, consultants, and developers.

About the Program

The first course introduces the basic concepts of blockchain technology, including how to use shared ledgers, smart contracts, provenance, and consensus. It also examines the factors that make a good blockchain network use case and introduces a hands-on lab where you will build your own simple blockchain network.

The second course shows you how to create more complex blockchain applications. You’ll also learn what developers need to know to contribute to the overall blockchain solution for a business network.

The final course in this specialization shows you how to create a blockchain network for a specific use case: tracking food and other perishable goods through a supply chain. You'll use an IoT asset tracker and Node-RED to track and collect temperature, motion, and other data. That data is fed to a blockchain network to be used as an immutable record of transaction history throughout the journey of the cargo.
