For further details, contact paul.sant@beds.ac.uk Blockchain technical skills are in high demand, with the World Economic Forum predicting that 10% of global GDP will be stored on blockchains or blockchain related technology by 2025. It is rare for a technology to have interest from the C-suite to the developer community. Matt Lucas from IBM’s blockchain team will hold an all-day technical workshop telling you what you need to know.
Are you curious about Blockchain and what it can do? In this one-day course you will learn the essentials of blockchain:
The course is targeted at students with a technical background because it builds on basic computer science concepts and will include basic programming in JavaScript, knowledge of which is desirable but not essential. The course will focus on the use of distributed ledgers in business scenarios, and will thus take into account the various privacy and confidentiality requirements that organisations face, and the various other regulatory frameworks that govern business today. It will not focus on the use of anonymous blockchains, or the use of blockchains for (and investment in) cryptocurrencies. Places are limited, so please register ASAP. |
