Blockchain: Foundations and Use Cases

Blockchain for developers and non-developers

This course is an introduction meant for both technical and non-technical audiences. Alongside the technology, it covers the philosophy of decentralization and explains why the idea generates so much interest.

What the modules build toward

• The technology behind blockchain, in the first modules
• Use cases and case studies in the later part of the course
• Interoperability and cryptography as recurring themes

Because it is pitched widely, the course suits someone who wants to understand the landscape before deciding whether to build on it. The rich-media lessons make the concepts easier to picture than a text-only introduction would.

Pause the rich-media lessons to sketch the ideas on paper whenever the concepts feel abstract.
