Learn Blockchains by Building One - Quick Guide

[Haalo]

The fastest way to learn how Blockchains work is to build one. Here´s a nice quick guide to build a blockchain and through that understand the fundamental technology behind it.

Just make sure that Python 3.6+, Flask and a HTTP Client is installed.

Well to simply understand something is to build it yourself, I really think this will make you understand more the concept on learning something is to get a hang on that something and learning to make one, But I guess there is probably someone that will sure understand it by simply looking at the codes alone, It can surely be understandable but many sure needs a hang of it by experiencing it, And about the saying goes experience is naturally a good teacher for everyone, But really I got your point over it.

Yeah exactly, it seems to be a good guide for starters to get into. Or has anyone seen any anything similar to help approach this topic?

This sounds easy and simple to people that are programmers and developers already. To someone like me it will take time for me to learn and I learn faster with physical teacher than online.

If you have a physical teacher even better  It still is not dead easy, but at least worth an attempt for "normal" people..

I like learning by doing. It forces me to deal with the subject matter at a code level, which gets it sticking. If you do the same, at the end of this guide you’ll have a functioning Blockchain with a solid grasp of how they work.

for a simple explanation without having to code

a block chain is a block of data and identifier made of up hashing the block data to make it unique (in any format/function/way you please) the block also contains a unique identifier of the previous block thus chaining blocks together. whereby altering a bit of data alters the identifiers thus alters all the blocks built after it. making it easy to spot alterations and reject them if they dont fit the rule

there you go. nice and simple.
