Learn Blockchain Technology & Cryptocurrency in Java
Course 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.
