Blockchain Ethereum Training: Hands-on Development Bootcamp

This course is designed for those seeking an in-depth understanding and development experience with the Ethereum Blockchain platform. You’ll gain an overview of Ethereum, smart contracts, and the development language, Solidity. You’ll write smart contracts and build applications that interact with them.

Ethereum’s adaptable feature set which allows you to design decentralized applications for countless applications will be discussed. You will participate in hands-on programming lab sessions so you can develop and advance your skills in Ethereum development.

Approximately 50% of class will be lab time. This provides practical experience, which will enhance your knowledge and existing skill set.
