The blockchain is a revolutionary technology that allows for the secure, distributed, decentralized storage of information. Over the past few years, the blockchain has taken the engineering landscape by storm. Many people in the industry predict that the blockchain will disrupt the ways we interact with technology on the same way the Internet did in the early 2000s.

Some of the main course highlights:

• Build a Blockchain in the object-oriented programming style.
• Generate hashes for blocks in the chain.
• Unit Test Components of the Blockchain.
• Create an API around the Blockchain.
• Create a real-time connected peer-to-peer server.
• Implement a proof-of-work algorithm.
• Sign Transactions with cryptography and digital signature.
• Create a Transaction Pool for a real-time list of incoming data.
• Include transactions in core blocks of the chain.

Ultimately, knowledge of the Blockchain will set you up for success in the future, as an engineer in a blockchain-dominated world.
