Monax: Build a Smart Contract Application

• An understanding of Blockchain technology
• An understanding of Bitcoin and cryptography
• Javascript programming experience
• Experience with Linux command line

Audience

• Developers

Monax (previously known as Eris) is an application platform that sits in the between a blockchain client and the operating system. It serves as an application layer for distributed ledger and blockchain applications.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to build a smart contract blockchain application with Monax.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Develop and deploy a distributed application using blockchain and smart contract technology.
• Understand design and functionality of 'smart contracts' and how to create one.
• Implement best practices for secure blockchain application development.
• Leverage Monax tools to streamline distributed application development.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
