Mastering Hyperledger Chaincode Development using GoLang

NOTE: 

• April 2020 - Course updated to Fabric 2.1

Developers face many challenges when it comes to  developing Hyperledger Fabric Chaincode.

• Lack of documentation from developer's perspective

• Need to setup the Fabric development environment

• Non-availability of development tools | standard practices

• No comprehensive guide on how to productively develop chaincode

This course is my attempt to address all of these challenges.

E.g., Student do not need to spend time on setting up dev environment from scratch - course provides "One Click Launch"

E.g., Course provides development utilities that will help developers to focus on learning to code

E.g., Shows step by step how to leverage various Fabric concepts to build working chaincode

E.g., Working chaincode for ALL concepts covered in the course

E.g., Commands to be used for development purposes (wrapped in utility scripts as part of the course)

Utility Scripts

• Utility scripts are provided to achieve developer productivity;  long commands on command line are difficult to follow & type

• Students may need to go through some of the utility scripts on their own

PLEASE DO NOT JOIN THE COURSE if you do not like to use productivity/development scripts and rather type long command on the terminal prompt :-)

PS:

• This is a Hands on course. Please do NOT join if you do not have experience in coding

• Take a preview of the lectures. Please do NOT join if you do not understand my accent or lecture pace :-)

Course Highlights:

• Ready to use development environment setup with multiple configurations (project repository available for download)

• Hyperledger Explorer setup that may be launched by students to get a graphical view of the network

• Provides easy to use tools/scripts so that developers can focus on learning Chaincode development

• Sections start by going over the concepts. Walk through lectures show the concepts in action with REAL code

• Every section requires the student to do coding (exercises)

• ALL sections | ALMOST all lectures requires the student to do Hands On activities
