In this course, we will build blockchain concepts from the ground up. We will start with basic cryptography constructs, like hash functions and PKI encryption, to first build a solid base for understanding blockchain and appreciate its value. Then, we will explore the Hyperledger Fabric technology by IBM using hands-on development environment within your browser. This course is a great starting point for engineers looking to develop expertise in blockchain technology with Hyperledger Fabric specialty. In this course, you will deploy your own blockchain network, deploy chaincode on it and create an application that invokes your chaincode running in fabric network. You will also learn to manage fabric user identities in your application using wallets.

Become a Blockchain Developer

Welcome to the course! To fully understand and appreciate blockchain, there are multiple interdependent topics you need to understand together. Some foundations need to be built so the terminology can make sense. This course will slowly build those foundations. By the end of this course, you will be able to understand and run a hyperledger fabric network, deploy your chaincode and interact with it.

Let's begin with a basic introduction to blockchain. There are some gaps in this introduction that will be filled sometime in the next 2-3 chapters so please give it some time and things will start to come together.

Its really by the end of the 4th chapter when you will be able to understand blockchain and its potential to revolutionize the world. 

In the next lesson, we will discuss some distinctive features of blockchain.
