3 Blockchain Developers Boot Camp COURSE OVERVIEW This course in a course designed for developers who are seeking to learn blockchain from a development perspective. It is an 6 week full time program in blockchain from basics to advanced. Delivered in a live classroom setting. This course will provide the participants with the ability to implement powerful blockchain applications. Participants will be spending large amounts of time creating and developing real blockchain tools. The course will provide working sandboxes for all of the coding that is developed. ADMISSIONS STANDARDS Basics of Programming 1+ years of programming experience (validated by CV or certification) JavaScript / Python programming is a PLUS Entrance Exam AT THE END OF THIS COURSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO Work with Blockchain technology on a practical level Build real life tools based upon the Blockchain and Ethereum. Have validated code to share with prospective employers showing a working knowledge of blockchain programming. ACCREDITATION Accreditation is given to participants who pass with 70% score on all course examinations and successful completion of all of the coding assignments. Page The Blockchain Academy Inc.

4 Course Outline Weekly WEEK 1: The Blockchain Foundations Outline Origins of Blockchain How Bitcoin Works Private vs. Public Blockchains Permission vs. Permissionless Exploring the concept of decentralization Setting up working Environment WEEK 2: The Bitcoin Protocol WEEK 3: Keys & Transactions WEEK 4: The Blockchain Bits and Bytes Manually counting and converting Hex + ASCII working with JS/ Python and buffers Connecting to Peers reading the bitcoin protocol Protocol messaging tools Breaking messages to payload and header Creating basic messages manually and with JS/ Python Protocol messaging tools continued Version Payload applying protocol rules to create real messages Hash one way functions, introduction, and JS/Python Headers and version headers creating the template for bitcoin message headers TCP dump + Wireshark the basics of packet sniffing Keys creating a pair of keys Signing messages and encryption with Key Pair Private key to a bitcoin address Mathematically background to Keys From private keys to bitcoin address Transactions Segwit, filling fields according to protocol rules (JS/ Python) UTXOs and inputs Scripts creating scripts for variety of transactions (P2PKH, OP_RETURN, P2SH) Writing one mock script Stack architecture Modifying mock scripts to support stacks OP_CODES Hashing Transactions Signing Transactions Individual Blocks Consensus rules Coinbase transactions Merkle trees, light clients POW Proof of Work, calculating difficulty/target, block headers and nonce Segwit, lightning network, merged mining and side chains Page The Blockchain Academy Inc.

5 WEEK 5: The Ethereum Blockchain, Solidity & Web3 WEEK 6: DAPP Moving to Ethereum Basic Concepts Ethereum VM Solidity concepts in smart contract architecture Solidity variables, arrays and memory structure Solidity basic functions, modifiers, events and constructor functions Solidity contract inheritance Solidity relations between smart contacts Solidity calls, delegations, libraries and upgradeable contracts Web3JS How to use truffle and testrpc Use the Truffle framework Connect to testrpc Creating tests for smart contracts Web3.js basic concepts and commands Ethereum and bitcoin standardization BIPS, ERC 20 etc. Distribute files using IPFS Integrate IPFS, smart contracts and web3 to a finale working dapp Page The Blockchain Academy Inc.

6 Course Projects PROJECTS PROJECT 1: WORKING ENVIRONMENT The first thing you ll do is to set your working environment and have all your tools ready. JavaScript libraries for working with Bitcoin & Ethereum Solidity compilers and frameworks Ethereum wallets, clients and RPCs Bitcoin API, RPC and clients NodeJS environment CLI tools for networking PROJECT 2: CONNECT TO THE BITCOIN NETWORK PROJECT 3: FROM PRIVATE KEY TO BITCOIN ADDRESS Bitcoin is also a P2P network with its own protocol rules. We ll parse the Bitcoin developer documentation and will construct the necessary network messages that are required in order to connect to the Bitcoin test net and main net networks. Understand the Bitcoin documentation Use basic hashing functions Write the codes needed to create a Bitcoin network message Transmit your Bitcoin messages to remote node Use packet sniffers to digest incoming messages Write responds to any incoming message Keys and address are crucial concepts in the ecosystem of cryptography, cryptocurrencies and blockchains. Generate your own private key Use some predefined tool to create Bitcoin address from that private key Parse the Bitcoin protocol to see how address are generated from private keys Follow the documentation to create your own tool for creating Bitcoin address from a private key. Compare the address you received from your tools to the ones generated by predefined libraries Learn the basic working of the ECC and understand the different components of private keys and public key Work with compressed and uncompressed keys PROJECT 4: CREAT YOUR FIRST BITCOIN TRANSACTION We ll create the most common Bitcoin transaction, the P2PKH transaction. This is the basic transaction that keeps the Bitcoin ecosystem running and it will be used both as a studying case for some of the basic concepts of the Bitcoin protocol and as starting point for creating more complex transactions in the future. Understand the mechanism of the transactions in the Bitcoin protocol Parse the Bitcoin blockchain for relevant information (UTXOs) Create your own stacks Utilize the Bitcoin scripting language and create your public script (P2PKH) Calculate fees Work with change addresses. Sign and transmit your transaction Page The Blockchain Academy Inc.

7 PROJECT 5: ADVANCED BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS PROJECT 6: MINE YOUR OWN BLOCK PROJECT 7: CREATE YOUR FIRST SMART CONTRACT PROJECT 8: ADVANCED SMART CONTRACT PROJECT 9: CREATE YOUR OWN DAPP Now that we understand how transaction works, we ll dive deeper into the different type of transactions that are accepted in the Bitcoin protocol Create your own script and use P2SH transactions to check it Upload your own secret using OP_RETURN transaction Burn bitcoins It s time to understand what the blocks really are. Organize your transactions into a Merkle tree Parse the blockchain for the information that is required to construct your new block Calculate your (mock) difficulty Construct your block header Find the block hash (for the mock difficulty) Smart contracts are important aspect of Ethereum. One of the first thing that we ll do when dealing with it is to create few simple smart contracts, deploy them to the Ethereum (test net) network and try to interact with them Write simple smart contracts using Solidity Deploy these smart contracts using different tools Interact with these smart contract Once we ll learn the basics of smart contracts, we ll want to create smart contracts that will utilizes the real power of the blockchain. For that we ll look deeper into Solidity and the way Ethereum VM works. Write advanced smart contract Write test suite for your smart contract Use testrpc (or other supporting client) to run tests on your smart contracts Try to minimize gas usage for your contract Break your contracts into libraries Use advanced variable types (enum, mapping, structs, array, etc.) Use advanced flow control Use modifiers (payable, constant, user made modifiers) The EVM can be used for creating decentralized applications. After we ll explore the concept of decentralization, we ll use some basic web tools and libraries and combine them with our smart contracts to create an array of dapps Learn how to integrate web3 components into your web app Decentralized your files using IPFS Use naming convention to map to your dapp Page The Blockchain Academy Inc.
