Description
Did you ever wonder what’s behind the hype around Blockchain? In this practical development guide you will learn why this emerging technology could be a real game changer across industries. With a strong emphasis on learning by doing, we will cover all the necessary modules required for the Blockchain to work. If you prefer practice and deeper understanding to theory and books, this course is just right for you.

About your instructor

Hi, my name is Lukas, I am currently 25 years old and I am studying Mobile Computing and Computer Science in Austria and Sweden. I started my personal journey as developer way back when I was 15 years old and my main main goal since then is to steadily improve my skillset.

After several years in the sector of machine learning, data science and self driving vehicles, I decided to dive deeper in the topic of Blockchains. That’s also the reason why I decided to do my Master’s Thesis in the field of Consensus Algorithms.

The reason why I decided to share this course here on Udemy is because I really want Blockchain to succeed in the end and I strongly belief that a broader understanding on the topic itself is a major milestone in pushing the technology further, especially in it’s acceptance. I would be very happy if I can contribute to this with my course.
