Welcome to Blockchain for Developers DeCal for the Spring 2020 semester! This course is designed to provide students a comprehensive general overview of currently relevant topics in blockchain development, as well as hands-on experience in developing and deploying their own smart contracts.

Blockchain is currently one of the fastest-growing industries in the technology sector, with 14 job openings for every blockchain developer. In response to this shortage of blockchain developers, this course aims to teach students the fundamentals of blockchains, the Solidity programming language, as well as industry-relevant tools such as Metamask, Infuria, Truffle, and Ganache so that students will be equipped with industry-relevant experience in an accessible, collaborative environment. We hope that through this course, students will become more confident in their ability to develop and deploy blockchain-based solutions on important industry issues.

After applying, the facilitators will update you with your enrollment status (accepted or waitlist) as soon as it changes. Entering our class is dependent on obtaining a course entry code. If you are accepted, we will email you your code and you must enroll in the class within three days or the code will be considered invalid. We will also be enforcing a mandatory attendance policy for the first two classes—you will be dropped if you miss either of these two classes.
