Description

**Updated August 2021**

In this course, we will discuss blockchain protocols, how blockchains are architected, the main technology components such as cryptography, hashing, applications, and the constraints and limitations of this technology.

I will help you to understand when to use blockchain, the key concepts, the industry jargon, and a lot of additional information that will help you to interact with stakeholders in any blockchain project you may get involved.

Any person with some basic IT experience will be able to follow along with this course. No matter what’s your background, after you finished this course, you will be able to get involved in any blockchain project.

We are going to take a look at why blockchain is considered so secure, what technologies are enabling blockchain, what kind of applications - financial and non-financial - can benefit from blockchain? What are the differences between Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hyperledger and Corda? How is blockchain secure, and how is data handled? How is hashing made? What’s cryptography’s role?

This course will help you to:

- Understand well the technologies behind Bitcoin and Ethereum

- Learn about the use cases

- Understand and apply shared ledgers and smart contracts to your business network

- Explore the different use cases for blockchain, including enterprise solutions NFTs and DeFi

- Deploy a Smart Contract to Mint NFTs (NEW)

- Explore the blockchain technology in-depth

- Understand Hashing, Cryptography and Digital Signatures

- Explore the blockchain architecture

- Deploy an Ethereum node

- Understand how to perform various activities in the Ethereum Blockchain using the command line interface

Without being too long or too short, this course does an amazing job at communicating new information in an easy and entertaining way. As opposed to other reviews, I didn't have any difficulty trying to understand the instructor's accent but subtitles that aren't generated automatically would certainly be appreciated a lot. Just one suggestion though: the summaries after some lessons were useful but I wish they were more of them and if possible in a single PDF. The course was fantastic nonetheless, thank you.

This is really an amazing course! The instructor is pretty funny but clear explained everything of blockchain, BTC, ETH, etc. including ETH mining 101, with the most understandable language! I've been learnt all of his blockchain courses with either my this account or corporate pass, finally I have to say this is the most suggested course suite for all blockchain new immigrations. Cheers!

The course is very good! Professor Henrique Centieiro teaches in a very didactic way, and with great passion for the subject. I've taken 5 courses from him: 'The Complete NFT Course', 'NFT Investing Masterclass', 'Metaverse Masterclass', 'Create NFTs, Tokens and DAOs - Smart Contracts Masterclass', and 'Blockchain Deep-Dive: from Bitcoin to Ethereum to Crypto'.

No subtitles. Great guy, but the accent is a little difficult to understand sometimes without subtitles.

The Instructor has a strong accent. YOU NEED TO ADD PROPER SUBTITLES. The Auto generated Subtitles are TERRIBLE.

The course is very useful to give anyone new to the field an insight into what blockchains are and how they work. Goes into detail explaining Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains, down to technical level. The teacher sounded clear and on point, giving simple enough explanations to follow for a newbie like me: I enjoyed the course, though I'd say that the last chapter in particular requires a bit of programming knowledge (Linux-Python) to actually follow through understanding fully what you are doing. I thank Enrique for his endeavour in unblocking the blockchain for all.

There is just one problem with this course. I'm having a lot of trouble understanding what the instructor is saying. Other than that I think there is a load of valuable information here.

Lesson 100. and probably few other should be reuploaded without head covering commands. Course was very good starting from basics. I hoped for more practical coding tasks but that's also ok.
