Blockchain Basics

Description

Blockchain is a way of recording data that many parties can check but none can quietly change, and this course explains it in plain terms. It starts with what blockchain is and how it works, then looks at Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as the first major application.

You read what smart contracts are and how they automate business agreements, then see how the technology is applied in supply chains, financial services and payments, and healthcare and identity management. The last lessons cover how to begin an implementation and where careers and trends may lead. The ten PDF lessons include several tables. After reading, you should be able to describe how a blockchain works and judge where it fits a business problem.

Who it is for: professionals and curious beginners who want to understand blockchain without a technical background.
