Online Courses for Blockchain tech

[legendster]

there is a course in coursera.org, is quite good, they leave tasks for implmenting some features about the btc. you can find it in the site search for cryptocurrency.

I am aware. Already downloading, read good reviews on the site itself.

For anyone interested, you can find the course here.

bitcoin,com for developer.... read it, you will find alot info, tutorial

Wow awesome! Why didn't it occur to me before darnit! You must be the new Einstein!

[cz3kit]

I also started to learn more about bitcoin and blockchain and how everything works. I read Mastering Bitcoin, which you can find here: https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook. I find it pretty good to read and easy to understand when you are a beginner.
I am currently working on a blockchain parser and I am learning a lot. If you know any programming language, I recommend to do this. You will learn to parse the binary data, how transaction inputs and outputs work and much more. While I am programming the parse, one tab is on the bitcoin developers documentation (https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-documentation).

I am not sure what else you could besides that when it comes to understand the underlaying technique.

If you would like to read some academia related topics, I guess you should look out for papers and use the references to go from one paper to another one.

I am going to have a so called 'Financial Crypto' course at my uni next semester. I guess I could provide some more information about what we are exactly learning and what resources we use. I am not sure yet if it is going to be more about the math or in general

I also started .....

As you may have noticed I had already linked to the book on the OP, thank you for sharing the Git link I believe it will help people here looking for that book.

YES! A big yes! That will help tremendously! Remember when you share anything here or with me on this subject it will go public. So make sure that your personal info are well masked out when you are sharing any kind of notes or study materials from your University; i.e if you want to remain anonymous.


About following research papers, yes, I am collecting links and publishing data at the moment, after I have gone through a few beginner books & tutorials that I mentioned earlier; I'm going actively collect and reiterate research papers on blockchain and bitcoin, hopefully I will be able to translate it in an easy to digest form for the average newcomer in my shoes.

Yes, I noticed it, but you linked it to amazon. That's why I added the git link If someone is not able to buy it, it's a good source.

Yep, I will do that. First I will see what it is and if it is going to be helpful. My next semester starts somewhere in April, so there is still some time to go till then.

Are you planning on creating a platform or something where you share materials, tutorials or something?

Are you planning on creating a platform or something where you share materials, tutorials or something?

That's the plan. Yes You or anyone willing to help with resources etc are most welcome to discuss the details through PM.

just about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies materials  or some other subjects too

Sounds like a good idea
As soon as I start with my Financial Crypto course, I will be able to tell you more. I am not sure if people need proper knowledge in Cryptographie. I had a Crypto course which is based on "Introduction to Modern Cryptography" (https://www.amazon.de/Introduction-Cryptography-Chapman-Network-Security/dp/1466570261)  and was done by Prof. Alexander May (http://www.cits.rub.de/personen/may.html).

There are also the lecture pdf files:

• Symmetric Crypto: http://www.cits.rub.de/imperia/md/content/may/paper/krypto_i.pdf
• Asymmetric Crypto: http://www.cits.rub.de/imperia/md/content/may/paper/krypto_ii.pdf

Since they are in German, this might be a problem for the most But you can have a look into it and we could discuss if it is interesting.

I also had been thinking about writing a bit about how to parse the blockchain and explain how certain things work. During my programming time, I felt that many technical details are not well written and I spent a lot of time on figuring out how it works.

I am not sure what exactly you plan and how it should look. If this is something which would fit in there, great

Yes this should fit in nicely I have been occupied with my own problems so progress is a bit slow. I will get to you through PM and explain more about the platform.
For now I'd request you to dump any learning resource that you may come across over here in this thread so people can access them.

[cz3kit]

Yea sure, no problem Take your time, no rush

For now I'd request you to dump any learning resource that you may come across over here in this thread so people can access them.

Sure, I will do so

:DThank you, I have been looking for books on this aspect.

[legendster]

Guys.

I started this project : www.CryptoBackersList.com

Although this project is geared towards Project funders / ICO startups. It'd also have a dedicated section on the website which could be dubbed as the Udemy for Cryptos.

Please follow the thread.

[z.cash]

Noted with thanks. I'll try by myself

[BrittneyHarkins]

I'll get that course.

[Trantran1990]

I need to understand how blockchain - decentralized platform works at a technical level. Pretty good source

[jemine]

Hi guys,

Kind of an over-asked question I am sure but here it goes;

Can anyone point me to some online courses which teaches about Bitcoin core and Blockchain technology specifically?
I am looking for options that take into consideration that the learner is a website developer with basic WAMP exposure.


EDIT -

Some books from Amazon which I am getting :

Blockchain: The Essential Quick & Easy Blueprint To Understand Blockchain Technology And Conquer The Next Thriving Economy

The Business Blockchain: Promise, Practice, and Application of the Next Internet Technology 2016

Blockchain: The Comprehensive Guide to Mastering the Hidden Economy 2016

Platform Revolution - Not directly related to Blockchain

Bitcoin and Blockchain Security 2016

Blockchain : A Complete Beginner's Guide - Master The Game

Blockchain 2017

The Case for Bitcoin 2016

The Bitcoin Tutorial: Develop an intuitive understanding of the currency and blockchain technology 2016

Blockchain Technology (Fintech Series by Innovation Edge) 2016

The Science of the Blockchain

Blockchain: The Untapped Goldmine Of Blockchain That Virtually No One Knows About 2017

Blockchain: Down The Rabbit Hole 2016

Mastering Bitcoin: Unlocking Digital Cryptocurrencies Best Seller / Most Popular

Git link : https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

As expected, most of these books explain concepts rather than getting down & dirty with building anything with an academic approach. That is not to say that there is absolutely no such 'explanations' here. Its there just not as much as I would have liked it to be.
I have bought one book currently and its trash, I haven't linked it here.


Future edits :

There is a course in coursera.org, is quite good, they leave tasks for implementing some features about the btc. You can find it in here.

Can't believe all this courses are free and yet people are still ignorant of the use and knowledge of Blockchain technology.

[ozing]

I was able to get some very good eBook from the amazon link thanks

[Huy Mai]

Wow, thank you so muchhhhh! All courses are great and useful with us
