Info for the enrolled students (2019–2020, 2nd semester): the labs will take place weekly and the grade for the lab will consist in a project a Decentralized application — dApp formed of a smart contract, an interaction with blockchain part, and a UI part. A group of 3–4 students can present the project (but the project difficulty will increase proportional with the number of students). Data of project presentation: 22/29.04.2020

Blockchain Overview

Introduction in Blockchain: below is a good presentation from Blockchain Trainning Alliance. One should make an account on their site and then go to On Demand Classes and choose the Blockchain Overview Business Foundation course (it has both pdf slides and video tutorial). The cool thing about the course is that you receive a diploma, after finishing the video tutorial (or one can simply read the slides).
