Are you a software developer looking to get into blockchain dApps?

Or have you ever wanted to build your own cryptocurrency exchange?

I’ve had this same dream too.

Maybe it’s because I’ve learned a crypto exchange can be a highly profitable business to start.

That’s why I’ve been brushing up on blockchain development and programming again. Reading as many articles as I can on the subject and diving into code on GitHub.

When I couldn’t find a suitable repository that I could clone or fork from GitHub, I tried YouTube.

I guess what I wanted to learn from creating a crypto exchange—other than the prospect of turning code into a business model—was the nuts and bolts of how a decentralized exchange or token swap worked.

That’s when I came across a video series from Dapp University called “The Ultimate Cryptocurrency Exchange Programming Tutorial for Blockchain.”
