This is a very short course that helps to navigate the documentation and introduces basic installation options of Hyperledger Besu.

The course is for programmers, DevOps professionals (- working on the software development integration with the IT operations) that want to start creating blockchain networks and deploying decentralized applications to these networks.

There are no specific prerequisites for the course. It requires experience with Java and standard tools like Docker, git and the “command line” tools of the major operating systems.

  • Content

    The course is designed as a step by step a visual video guidance to Hyperledger Besu documentaion helping with the very first and usually the most daunting task - to install, configure and start running a new, unfamiliar blockchain system.

  • Technology

    The course is highly focused and condensed - there are no discussions about blockchain core ideas, design principles, etc - just very brief glance over critical concepts, sub-systems with the references to Hyperledger Besu documentation online for further reading. The esence of the course - important commands, scripts and configuration options to download and to launch Hyperledger Besu in various settings.

  • Applications

    The course is mainly about the technical aspects of running the Hyperledger Besu system. However, as a motivation to study learners are encouraged to read about two business cases where Hyperledger Besu has been successfully deployed. The first example is a retail space solution for a unified loyalty rewards program across multiple brands. The second solution serves as an infrastructure in Latin America where it will power and drive many blockchain based applications.

  • Delivery

    The learning material is primarily presented as video and text based lessons. Learners have a possibility to connect and discuss new concepts, ideas or difficulties in the online discussion forums. All the learning material is based on and contains many references to the online Hyperledger Besu documentation. The certificate-related exercises are available just in the paid version.

Learning more about how an Ethereum client works is crucial for Developers and DevOps professionals who are looking to create a private blockchain network or to connect to Ethereum mainnet. As individuals and organizations adopt Ethereum as part of their business processes, Developers and DevOps professionals will be able to use the knowledge gained in this course to create blockchain networks and deploy decentralized applications to these networks. This course will provide a learner with insight into how to configure and use Hyperledger Besu to do these activities, and provide examples of where Hyperledger Besu is being used.

This course is designed for experienced Developers and DevOps professionals who are interested in learning about Hyperledger Besu features and capabilities, and who are looking to expand their blockchain architecture knowledge. It will be also helpful to blockchain architects who are looking to learn more about Ethereum Virtual Machine compatible blockchains.

In this course, you will learn how to install Hyperledger Besu, start up Hyperledger Besu for MainNet and build a Hyperledger Besu private network. You will also learn how to create a private network with privacy and send a private transaction in a private network using Tessera.

The course provides you with a sub-set of skills required for a career change into Blockchain-focused developer operations roles.
