Audience

• Developers
• Entrepreneurs
• Anyone who wants to explore the concepts and principles of blockchain and cryptocurrency using Python

Python is a popular and versatile programming language that can be used for various purposes, such as web development, data analysis, machine learning, and automation. Python also has a rich set of libraries and tools that can help users to create and interact with blockchain and cryptocurrency systems. Blockchain is a revolutionary technology that enables the creation of distributed and decentralized networks that can store and transfer data securely and transparently. Cryptocurrency is a digital asset that uses blockchain technology to facilitate peer-to-peer transactions and exchange of value.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level developers who wish to use Python to build blockchain and cryptocurrency applications.

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

• Use Python to create and manipulate blockchain and cryptocurrency systems and data.
• Use Python libraries and frameworks such as Flask, PyCrypto, and web3.py to interact with blockchain and cryptocurrency networks and services.
• Use Python to implement smart contracts, consensus algorithms, and cryptographic protocols for blockchain and cryptocurrency applications.
• Use Python to develop and deploy decentralized applications (DApps) that run on blockchain and cryptocurrency platforms.
• Use Python to perform data analysis and visualization on blockchain and cryptocurrency data.

Format of the Course

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