Just do a google search and also in YouTube. You should not have hard time to learn about Blockchain technology. Try this keyword "what is blockchain technology".

Good luck.

Thanks for your feedback.
I have tried  for all your advice. But look like nothing special,specify to learn as deep in tech or code.
Just an imagine "How Tech Blockchain Works".

So I would like to know more, whether members here to share your experience about learning Blockchain at online course.

There are many tutorials explaining what blockchain is and how it works.
If you want to go deeper, you should know that it is not going to be easy if you don't have good knowledge of: computer science, programming languages, networks, networks security, cryptography...

Hi,

A block chain is just a data structure. You can learn about the Bitcoin protocol, which can be considered as a new technology, this way you would acquire real knowledge instead of blockchain bullshit. I recommend "Mastering Bitcoin" from Andreas M. Antonopoulos : you can retrieve it on Github (v1), and on Amazon (v2).
Feel free to ask question, (I/we)'ll answer you and/or point you to some doc/explanations.

PS : learnmeabitcoin.com from Inersha is a great starting point too.

I second this. "Mastering bitcoin" is a good place to start. Not too easy, not overly complicated, just the right information to get you started with bitcoin tech.

And this one is equally good:

"Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies"

http://bitcoinbook.cs.princeton.edu/ or http://assets.press.princeton.edu/chapters/s10908.pdf

That is are what am looking for. Need a guide or course (even though I have to pay.)  

But Thankyour.

Hi,

I have been done to reading a few book about "How Bitcoin/Blockchain Works" But I think it is still lacking from what Im looking for. Thankyou for your sharing, reference, and helpfull advice. Wish we will have a business in future.  

Regards,
Blockcuan.

There are several free (and paid) courses on websites like Udemy. It's not bad to start with. Someone mentioned Andreas M. Antonopoulos books but his Youtube channel is by far more powerful. If you have a problem with oral English then turn on the subtitles.
If you have a budget to dedicate you have few websites like blockchain-council.

I agree. Mastering bitcoin is a classic already, and probably the best book for newbies out here. Even more advanced users can benefit from it.

I read it and it changed my mind about cryptocurrencies

[ABCbits]

Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Technologies by Jameson Lopp also great read and it's available for free at https://lopp.net/pdf/princeton_bitcoin_book.pdf. The book was released in 2016, so it's a bit oudated.

If you want to go deeper, you should know that it is not going to be easy if you don't have good knowledge of: computer science, programming languages, networks, networks security, cryptography...

Don't forget game theory

[TheBeardedBaby]

I can suggest one of the best sites for me for learning from the world leading universities and organisations.
And it's free
https://www.edx.org/course?search_query=blockchain
^ Here are the courses with lectures and exercises perfectly explained.

Note: I do not advertise this site, I'm talking from my personal experience.

Good luck.

Start from reading the bible https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Then you if you have questions:
1. Google search;
2. Create self-moderated thread on local board, with the title "Whitepaper discussion,"  then ask there;
3. If your questions are not that "lazy," we will help you.

List above isn't what I meant or look for, But Thankyour anyway.

P.S: Just earn 1post for your campaign? Ehss NVM.

Nope, I had more than enough posts for this week, moreover I had more than enough merits for next two months.

If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

Advice: take some initiative. If you're always asking and hoping for people to help you out with such a basic, sweeping question, then I don't think we can help you out. Can't always have someone holding your hands can we?

Do a bit of basic Googling, and then frame your questions a bit more specifically.

We're most of us here self-taught so you'll understand the cynism as hundreds of people pass through here expecting help but can't take 5 minutes to get some basic frame to begin.

It is literally sad to see how the topic was derailed from "learning blockchain" to "learning about bitcoin". Blockchain is a way of storing and transmission of data in the form of blocks, whereas bitcoin is digital money and used for transmitting value from one person to another in a decentralized and a trustless way. Bitcoin and Blockchain can better be stated as

"A way of transmitting value created by the people, for the people and of the people"

"A database in a smart way for storing informations which are confidential and shouldn't be changed over time"

Bitcoin is not Blockchain They are two different entities but are dependent to each other. Satoshi created this technology as a way to store his transaction datas and to prevent the double spending problem for his digital money. But bitcoin can be called as the first application of the blockchain and cannot be called blockchain. Today even though bitcoin is banned in certain parts of the world there seems to be huge hype for the technology through which bitcoin was designed.

If people get this, then their way of approaching the learning of technology would be very much different. You can call banks will adopt blockchain in future, but the statement doesn't make sense if you stipulate "Bitcoin will be adopted by Banks". They are outright differences between both to face critism and hype together. It is quite good and useful if you learn to develop dapps based on blockchain whereas learning about bitcoin doesn't help you much unless you want to become a bitcoin developer.

If you consider Bitcoin and Ethereum, both are different blockchains and has entirely different vision. On top of that, Ethereum cannot even be considered as a currency used for paying goods. If you consider so, that's completely wrong and someone has misguided you for the greater bad on learning the technology.

• Bitcoin works on the basis of Sha-256 and more commonly elliptic curve cryptography and can be considered as a form of money whereas Ethereum doesn't function as a money or does function as a mode of payment for usage of its own decentralized platform for the creation of decentralized applications.
• You can use Bitcoin only as a mode of payment, whereas Ethereum can be considered as a VM working on the basis of Turing Complete mechanism. They can more commonly be used as a programmable personal computer.
• Not all these minimal resources can be considered as a blockchain applications. If you consider IOTA, they have a very different approach towards blockchain and has changed them completely to work on the mathematical principle of Directed Acyclic Graphs. This particular take on technology removes the miners and they the transaction updations are controlled by nodes. Further, the speed of transactions in the IOTA blockchain improves along with its users.

For one to become a blockchain developer or to master the technology reading books based on bitcoin isn't enough or can be considered as a stupidity. You need to master the cryptography, its terms and every aspect of applied cryptography. Unless you doesn't master the cryptography it would be hard to understand blockchain.

@Heisenberg_Hunter, Thanks for constructive explain. That were my point. "Learn Blockchain" "Not Stage learn Bitcoin" "Not Stage learn Cryptography".

[Heisenberg_Hunter]

No, you need to learn cryptography if you are going to learn about Blockchain. Cryptography, Peer to Peer Technology are the building blocks of the blockchain technology. If you don't have a strong insight on these two, you will have a very tough time on mastering the technology. You need to note that, very few are interested in learning the tech since most of them are driven by the cryptocurrency hype you will find a way in paving your future if you master this technology to quite an extent and start developing some simple dapps.

Blockchain can simply be called as a data structure or more commonly a digital asset. For you to protect your physical assets you require hard cases, lockers and keys. Similarly cryptography helps you in protecting your digital asset/datas. Without learning how to protect these datas, managing these confidential records in the digital form are quite useless. Further you need to understand that this cryptography was primary in securing the multi billion dollar cryptocurrency market. They can secure your records provided how safely you handle the private keys. If you have learnt about cryptography and a good code, it is up-to you to how effectively you use them to manage your records.
