The course teaches a smart contract (a computer program) programming in the Solidity programming language. The learners get to know the Solidity language itself, best practices for structuring, coding and running Solidity applications. In addition, smart contract security topics are discussed and the standard solutions are examined.

In addition, there are good guidelines how to design, structure a blockchain based distributed application.

The learning material is primarily presented as video, text based lessons and hands on exercises. One could hear instructor’s accent in video lectures although this is not a problem at all. Each lesson is followed by a short quiz that tests the understanding of new concepts. All the lessons have optional external reading references that could be used to get deeper insights into the topics.
