Blockchain Education

[michaelz23]

Hi guys,

I am running a small developer team and we are more and more moving towards blockchain development. I am technical, however, now I am more acting as business manager, CTO, bitch for everything...

I need to get to a point where I can decide, what blockchain suites which project (for data storage, AI, big-data, BI...) and I need to understand more of the rough technical backgrounds like lightning... not only for bitcoin but overall.

I went through all Udemy Courses and a few other ones but those are all just scratching the surface.

Can you recommend good courses, books or other resources in that regard? I don't need deep coding understanding, just from the architecture side.

Thanks for the help
Michael

The blockchain is essentially a decentralized database in which the operations and benefits are a shared mechanism. All nodes participate in the process and all nodes benefit from it.

Try this one out
https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Bitcoin-Programming-Open-Blockchain/dp/1491954388
Andreas has been known to Blockchain Community as one its 'guru'.
If you're not convinced you can watch these videos where he gets to talk and explains about Bitcoin

Why do you need books or courses? Learn practice right away. Download source code on github and go lean!

Yeah, I did read all of his books and even have pre-ordered his ETH book Andreas is a genius. Is there more around with his level in a more general sense - that can help me with high level tech / architecture decissions?

If you are doing your project, then you are a practitioner! And I don't think the theorists in the courses will tell you what you don't know)

I'm in the look out as well for bitcoin tools we could use. This just goes to show there's a growing demand for crypto education. I hope courses, workshops etc will be offered soon.

In my view, Blockchain allows schools to provide greater opportunities to teachers, parents, and even community members to get involved.
All of these elements can be directly involved and activate a new learning structure. With hope, will increase the willingness of learning for their students. As is well known, Blockchain is a digital transaction recording book, with a distributed system, capable of recording and storing verifiable transactions with validity.

I'm not interested in reading books, so I do not have in-depth knowledge, but this forum in addition to Github is the fastest way to learn.
You can try reading:
 1. An Architectural Assessment of Bitcoin: It is a simplified and faithful copy of many useful references
 2.  Mastering Bitcoin: I think you read it.
Discuss what you know, and you'll find that you've gained information quickly

Hi guys,

Hahaha. I know how being a bitch for everything feels. I work in a small furniture business my family owns.

I am sorry to break your bubble but you might need to rethink why you want to use a "blockchain". Most businesses and projects do not need one.

A good place to start your Bitcoin journey is in the developer documentation, https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-documentation

[fondercom]

Here is some general links for starting out as well –

• https://bitcoin.org/en/getting-started
• https://medium.freecodecamp.org/explain-bitcoin-like-im-five-73b4257ac833
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9jOJk30eQs
• https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPQwGV1aLnTuN6kdNWlElfr2tzigB9Nnj

and for a larger list of resources go here –

• http://lopp.net/bitcoin.html

Additional Information:

• Coursera has an online class through princeton that is amazing and totally free. It is from 3 years ago, but you will intimately learn cryptos. It's an unbelievable resource.

I think you can search for videos, but it progress so fast...the best way to learn about it is practice

If I myself think Blockchain may be enough to affect the education system in the next 10 years. KnowledgeWorks is a non profit company with a working focus to ensure that every student can receive quality learning. So that students can open opportunities to develop in further education in college, career, and for life.

sad how my college refuse to this

for now i think there is nothing like courses of bitcoin or cryptocurrency. but you can find it online.
There are some tutorial about bitcoin and cryptocurrency from some peoples, i learned from them

[jonathancool220]

I am sure you are a very smart person, can even create your own token with your friends in a group.

you do not need to learn to other people, because you yourself already understand the procedure of making tokens and understand with Blockchain network. maybe a little spice to learn you from Google and Youtube. Keep the spirit alive, my friend ! I will continue to support you.

There are a lot of articles all over the internet in which there is a lot of info on blockchain, you need to look through different blogs, for example here is one interesting article: https://icoguide.com/en/blog/5-ways-blockchain-can-revolutionize-digital-marketing

I haven't had much luck with online courses. Perhaps maybe a couple, but even then, only managed to derive value from a few chapters.

I see that many have mentioned Andreas Antonopoulos - I honestly believe his YT channel/books are some of the best resources out there. One of the most engaging speakers I've come across, and very well informed.

Other than that, I usually follow influencers in the space (depending on blockchain) - be it on BitcoinTalk/Twitter/Reddit, and I usually go hunting for their blogs. Many of them appear to have personal blogs or medium accounts. So that helps too!

Another gem I found recently was Mango Research . This blog is pretty good if you're looking for Blockchain tech explained in layman terms. They use analogies for many of their breakdowns (If you're into that kinda stuff)

I'm hoping to compile a list of resources soon. Will share it with the community as soon as its up

Block chain education is very beneficial for students or students who specialize in information technology students to help them grasp the advanced technology as they will be the owners of the technology days roof
