Blockchain courses?

[Jpt]

The more I read about blockchain technology, the more I become confused. So I have decided to take blockchain courses. But I am completely naïve about programming concept and the likes. What are prerequisites to enroll in the courses? Can I become a blockchain developer? Please give suggestions.

Depends on your course as blockchain developer is a broad term. If i remember correctly "ivan on tech" was doing courses for complete beginners, i can't vouch for them but i was going to try those later when i have time. But i am guessing that you will find free courses as well just by googling them.

You can as long as you have basic knowledge about the programming. To understand more about blockchain course and you must know about the programming. 100% blockchain will be related to the programming.
If you don't have basic knowledge about that and it's better to learn the basic learning about programming before try to take the blockchain couses. But that is a mandatory when you are wanna going deeper to the blockchain ecosystem and not only wanna understand about the basic knowledge of the blockchain.

Some online courses are available at

1. https://www.switchup.org/subjects/how-to-learn-blockchain-and-crypto 
2. https://www.howtotoken.com/career/top-10-courses-for-blockchain-developers-recommended-by-experts/

Go check them out. I know there are more but you can search them on the internet.

I'm not a developer but I read a suggestion in our local board that if you are planning to become a developer, you need to know the foundation first (Logic & Syntax) before you go to more complex stuff.

I used to get confused when I learned about blockchain, but because I often read and analyze logically, so I understand a little about how blockchain works, and anyway where I live nobody provides a course about blockchain.

You need to have some knowledge about codes and how they works. And whether you are to work for some specific blockchain or create your own.
Different blockchain uses different and sometimes multiple of programming languages.
Javascript would be the basic to start with. Python could be a easy way forward as it's becoming more popular among blockchain developers.

Can I become a blockchain developer?

You cannot become a blockchain developer by just taking blockchain courses and if you're still confused about the basic understanding of the blockchain network, then you have a long way to go in becoming a developer. You need to take this courses because you need more understanding about the bitcoin and blockchain network, not because you want to become a developer.

Then at the end of the course, you can grade yourself and the extent of the knowledge you've gained, is it substantial enough, are you really a technical guy that can actually become a developer, you'll make the decision yourself, but the course will impact in you whether you're a developer or not.

If you want to learn about a course about blockchain you can learn it yourself or if anyone knows in your area then you can learn there, but in my opinion a search on google is also more complete about how the blockchain works as long as you continue to learn from the start, I'm sure You will know better if you study it correctly, but if you still want to course with people maybe you can look for it in this forum.

Try visiting the coursera website -

You can search more of the related topics and choose what suits your needs.

They have a lot of blockchain courses. But I suggest, start from the very basic. That would be a significant foundation on advancing your knowledge especially if you want to be a developer. You can't achieve that overnight, it will take a lot of hard work and effort to learn things.

if you don't have a basic programming it seems to be difficult for you to be a blockchain developer, because usually if you don't have a basic knowledge it will be difficult to understand the blockchain, online courses will spend your time and not help you can be a developer even I have tried it before you, it never works, you should look for people who understand the language of the program and teach you directly and also introduce about the blockchain, I think you will more easily become a developer

[btcdie]

The most basic thing about learning blockchain technology is none other than you can learn for free on google search. I only understand a little, thanks to this forum and Google about blockchain technology. because in my area there are no specific courses, and right now I'm also looking for that course. because lately I am increasingly aware of the importance of blockchain for the world.

If you just want to have general knowledge about blockchain then online courses will be more than enough,not everyone could be an expert so it will take time to understand these things but for being a blockchain developer you have to take courses from any of the university in your country.

I would suggest you to check 'Ivan on tech' block chain course. I got the some idea how blockchain works through that course and also with some Udemy courses. But before that I had experience in web programming technologies like PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS etc. I think it made me little easier to learn blockchain.
Maybe you can also try the same path or you can start with some basic programming skills with C or C++.

It seems to me, as in any business, you need to understand what you need it for and what exactly you want because the question is vague. In order to be a blockchain developer it is not necessary to have knowledge in all areas of programming, it is enough to find people with whom you are on the way and who have knowledge in the necessary areas.

[cryp24x]

I think this is a good decision for you. But I will tell you, programming is quite easy for those who are really fond of learning things. You will never stop studying programming languages because it evolves through time. Well, to be a Blockchain Developer, you really need to have background first on different languages such as Javascript React and other advanced languages.

[103deltafox]

It is a good decision to want to go further in the blockchain. But like already stated, you need to be passionate about the blockchain and also be grounded with the basics of blockchain, then you should have programming background this will help a lot then you could find online courses to build your capacity.

I have just saw a course on blockchain for free and certification if you're from India and you have to write an exam. But the course content is free to access.

Blockchain developer is a special case of a programmer's job in fact. Maybe you should first learn for example objective programming if you are totally new in this sphere.

[gwaposakon]

It depends on what faucets of blockchain you want to learn. Each with different but related requirements. I think if you want to be a developer, knowledge of programming is essential. But there are many courses that target only the required stuff so you can't pursue your interest right away. Their are many courses online that can help you with your needs but the internet also has plenty of resources for free.

[Brunus]

You can find a lot of free videos on youtube, a lot of material here on the forum.
Paid courses are not at all better than free ones, in fact in many cases they are only covered and poorly organized.
