Why should you take Blockchain course ?

According to the World Economic Forum, 18% of the world's GDP will be on Blockchain related technologies by 2025

What is it ?

Coding at the whiteboard

  • This is meant for new software engineers or those switching from other technology to blockchain and architect the use cases.

  • This structure will provide you an overall idea of how blockchain works in different platforms. You will learn to setup your own public and private chain and deploy smart contracts in ethereum.

  • Develop/Architect use cases to solve problems using blockchain
