Blockchain Essentials: Core Concepts and Implementations
Autor Ramchandra Sharad Mangrulkar, Pallavi Vijay Chavanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 ian 2024
The book begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of blockchain technology, followed by a review of its types, framework, applications and challenges. Moving ahead, you will learn basic blockchain programming with hash functions, authentication code, and Merkle trees. You will then dive into the basics of bitcoin, including wallets, digital keys, transactions, digital signatures, and more. This is followed by a crash course on Ethereum programming, its network, and ecosystem. As you progress through the book, you will also learn about Hyperledger and put your newly-gained knowledge to work through case studies and example applications.
After reading this book, you will understand blockchain’s underlying concepts and its common implementations.
