Blockchain and cryptocurrency technology has exploded in recent years, and the types of things you can now do with smart contracts—creating digital collectibles (NFTs), decentralized applications (DApps), decentralized financial applications (DeFi), rewards apps, tokens, digital tickets, proof of attendance (POAP) and more—has only gotten more advanced, while development is easier than ever thanks to platforms like Ethereum. In this course, Umer Jan teaches developers who are broadly familiar with programming concepts how to work in the Ethereum and EVM-compatible blockchain environments.
Learning objectives
- Understand how blockchain development works.
- Understand opportunities for decentralization.
- Learn how to write, test and deploy smart contracts in Solidity.
- Learn how to create NFTs.
- Learn how to connect to a wallet in the browser.
- Understand how to call on your smart contracts from a UI.
- Learn how to mint NFTs.
- Learn about elements of the key programming concepts surrounding cryptocurrency development, including what the blockchain is, programmatically speaking, and how smart contracts work.
- Learn how to use the Goerli testnet to test and debug your blockchain apps.
- Discover how to use web3.js to interact with the Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains.
- Learn how to use Truffle and HardHat to run tests.
This course is designed for all levels. Whether you come from a non-tech background and want to learn Ethereum and DApps to prepare for a future in-demand skill, or you have a tech background and want to stand out from the crowd — this course is for you.
- This course is ideal for developers and tech enthusiasts who want to build decentralized apps (dApps) on the Ethereum blockchain. It’s especially valuable for those with basic JavaScript knowledge and an interest in Web3 technologies. No prior blockchain experience is required—just a passion to learn and explore the decentralized future.
