Beginning Blockchain: A Beginner's Guide to Building Blockchain Solutions

16 minutes

A deep foundation in blockchain technology, starting with a historical context of money and the centralized systems it relies upon, before introducing the decentralized, trustless model of blockchain. Significant portions detail the operational mechanics of the two leading public blockchains: Bitcoin and Ethereum, covering key concepts such as cryptography (hashing, symmetric/asymmetric keys), consensus mechanisms (Proof of Work), game theory (Byzantine Generals' Problem), and computer science engineering (Merkle trees, data structures). The material also explores the architecture and development of Decentralized Applications (DApps), covering practical aspects like transaction processing, smart contracts, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), and scaling solutions like off-chain computation and sharding.
