Use distributed ledgers to validate digital transactions in a decentralized and trustless mannerAbout This VideoExplore a perfect balance between theories and hands-on activitiesDiscover popular Blockchain use cases such as BitcoinCreate your first smart contract in Solidity for EthereumIn DetailBlockchain applications provide a single-shared ledger to eliminate trust issues involving multiple stakeholders.With the help of Introduction to Blockchain and Ethereum, you'll learn how to create distributed Blockchain applications which do not depend on a central server or datacenter. The course begins by explaining Bitcoin, Altcoins, and Ethereum, followed by taking you through distributed programming using the Solidity language on the Ethereum Blockchain.By the end of this course, you'll be able to write, compile, and deploy your own smart contracts to the Ethereum Blockchain.
