This course is designed for beginning to intermediate Ethereum Developers who want to take a comprehensive deep dive in writing smart contracts and building the applications that interact with them.

This course provides a detailed overview of Ethereum, smart contracts, and the Solidity development language. Students will learn what Ethereum is, how it works, and where it can be applied to create great solutions. Students will also get to explore Ethereum app development through a series of comprehensive hands-on labs. This course also prepares you for the Certified Blockchain Developer Ethereum exam. 

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Security for Blockchain Professionals is designed for existing architects, software developers, system and network administrators who are responsible for implementing, identifying, and managing security on their Blockchain network. Also, those who are responsible for, and are required to mitigate, recognize, and resolve Blockchain security problems. Students will participate in security labs which will go in-depth into security best practices, known attack vectors, threat identification, response techniques, and much more.

Due to the in-depth focus on technical cyber-security methods, and the broad scope of this course, those with current cyber-security knowledge, Blockchain architecture, and/or experienced programmers will benefit the most from this course, including:
Blockchain Architects
Blockchain Developers
Application Developers
Blockchain System Administrators
Network Security Architects
Cyber Security Experts
IT Professionals w/cyber security experience
