Description:

Blockchain is a revolutionary technology that allows for decentralized and distributed storage of information. Maybe the hottest topic at the moment in the field of software engineering - besides artificial intelligence and machine learning - is blockchain technology. Many experts in the industry predict that the blockchain will disrupt the ways we interact with technology.

In this course you will learn about the basics of blockchain technology as well as about cryptocurrencies. You can learn about the concrete implementation of these technologies in Java - although you can skip the implementation parts if you wish.
