Building Blockchains With Ethereum-0daytown

Video Description
There are many ways to describe blockchain technology; the following is a good one: An incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value. With blockchain platforms such as Ethereum, building decentralized blockchain applications no longer needs a background in cryptography, mathematics, or even very complex programming. Ethereum provides all the tools needed for you to get up-and-running with your smart contracts very quickly.

AWS offers blockchain templates to allow you to build your own Ethereum network or connect to the main network of Ethereum nodes, allowing you to get up-and-running with network nodes in no time at all. This course covers:

Distributed ledgers and blockchains: Understand how blockchain technology can be used to store a distributed ledger of immutable and verifiable transactions
Blockchain overview: Transactions, mining and consensus algorithms
Ethereum basics: Understand concepts such as accounts, nodes, transactions, miners, gas, and proof-of-work on the Ethereum platform
Blockchain templates on AWS: Using CloudFormation templates on AWS to build an Ethereum network
Ethereum on the AWS cloud: Configure a bastion host and proxy servers to connect to the Ethereum network
Solidity and smart contracts: Use the Solidity programming language to build a smart contract for voting in an election

Style and Approach
This course will teach you about blockchains and the Ethereum framework in depth, with practical examples.
