If we believe all the talk on the internet, blockchain technology will change the future by offering an ultra secure way to store all sort of data, and as we’ve seen with the IOTA tangle previously, it should impact all types of sectors and applications including the Internet of Things.
So even if it is still early it might be worth learning more about the technology, and the Linux Foundation, which normally offers course from a few hundred dollars to several thousands dollars, is also offering a free blockchain training course entitled “Blockchain: Understanding Its Uses and Implications“.
You’ll get 20 hours of video content and transcript, and can learn on demand at your own pace.
Course outline:
- Chapter 1. Introduction to Blockchain – This section covers some of the technical aspects that comprise a blockchain and explain why blockchain is different and “works” in comparison with technologies of the past.
