Description

Ethereum is the world's largest Blockchain platform for building decentralized, smart contract driven Blockchain applications. At the same time, Ethereum is undergoing rapid changes to its API, consensus mechanisms and the Solidity programming language used for writing smart contracts. Many online learning resources tend to become outdated very quickly. If you wish to learn Ethereum and Solidity programming, it is quite challenging to find updated courses and learning content for the latest version of the Solidity programming language. To solve this problem, this live course is designed to help you to learn from the latest version of the platform and Solidity. This course is updated whenever new versions of Ethereum and Solidity are released.

The objective of this program is to help you go from zero knowledge of Blockchain and Ethereum, to learn all the key concepts and get started with writing Ethereum smart contracts and DApps (decentralized applications) within 3 days. After attending this program, you should be able to build DApps and smart contracts for various use cases, and meet the job requirements of an Ethereum developer role.

Who should attend

This hands-on program is designed for Technical Architects, Solution Architects, Developers and others who are interested in building smart contract based solutions using Solidity and Ethereum Blockchain.

Pre-requsites

Some knowledge and hands-on experience with the below concepts is helpful to ensure you get the best results from this course.

  • Basic HTML and CSS.
  • Writing JavaScript functions with callbacks or primises/async/await.
  • Ability to use npm to install and use JavaScript libraries.
