IBM Blockchain Foundation for Developers
Heads up! This course may be archived and/or unavailable.
If you're a software developer and new to blockchain, this is the course for you. Several experienced IBM blockchain developer advocates will lead you through a series of videos that describe high-level concepts, components, and strategies on building blockchain business networks. You'll also get hands-on experience modeling and building blockchain networks as well as create your first blockchain application. The first part of this course covers basic concepts of blockchain, and no programming skills are required. However, to complete three of the four labs, you must understand basic software object-oriented programming and how to use the command line. It's also helpful, but not required, that you can write code in JavaScript. When you complete the course, you should understand what a blockchain business network is, how to build and model a simple blockchain solution, and the role of the developer in creating blockchain applications. If you choose to take this course and earn the Coursera course certificate, you will also earn an IBM digital badge upon successful completion of the course. You'll need to pass several end-of-section quizzes and a final exam that include multiple choice, true and false, and fill in the blank questions. This course does not cover Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in detail.

hyperledger composer
now) Provides great overview of Hyperledger Composer and related framework with lessons and follow up exercises.
minimun info about the project, everything is only superficial It's a great course that helps you understand the blockchain and how to use the Hyperledger Composer.
The walk-through of Hyperledger Composer by building a solution as a part of the lecture was perfect!
The week 4 36 minute video did not work on the current version of the hyperledger composer where the transaction Id is not required anymore in the new version.
very beneficial and hands-on work A great introduction into both blockchain as well as IBM's own Blockchain Hyperledger Composer.
The labs give a thorough understanding of using hyperledger composer, building our first application on fabric and building our first network on fabric.
Good introduction to Hyperledger Composer and Fabric.

block chain
Then as you get into the low-level concepts, that focus on block chain development, there is so much you want to learn outside of the course, that 2 weeks is not sufficient.
A good course for technical managers to get an idea of block chain.
Very practical approach towards learning basic concepts and implementing blockchain applications Verycgood to understand about block chain This is a very well framed and detailed course.
excelent Good course to know how to develop blockchain This is a good start for beginners like me to understand the underlying solution of block chain.
Enjoyed the course, gives you a quick overview of block-chain, Hyper ledger, building applications utilizing block chain; IBM specific Отличный курс!
Its also great at explaining core tenrminogies relevant for developing block chain based business applications.
This course is really helpful for hyperledger configuration and development of block chain technologies The course is ok, but is exactly the same as we could found in IBM developers for free.
Great way to kick start your Block Chain journey.
Very informative contents on block chain Very helpful, thank you!
Helped to understand the block chain and hyper ledger concepts.
But you need to have a mac OS to be able to work hands on for creating the block chain applications.

blockchain technology
Very Nice Tutorial Remedial Great course, help me understand more about the blockchain technology.
Clear examples of business application for the blockchain technology.
Material and examples are able to bring across the key essence of Blockchain technology.
It's a good course only if you have no clue about Blockchain technology as such.
fantastic job, thank you.my suggestion to make a similar course or tutorial for windows (my os is windows, so I couldn't do all the tasks in a proper way as I wanted) Software Compatibilty Should be provided in windows operating system also Helpful course to taste Blockchain technology, first three weeks needs to be restructured in more efficient way Content was OK, but the following items require improvements:1).
Thanks Coursera A useful course for learning the basic concepts and strategies underlying the use of Blockchain technology.
A wonderful course for people who are interested in blockchain technology.

good introduction
A good course to understand the basics underlying blockchain , Thank you Good introduction to business-oriented, private blockchains.
IBM Sucks Good introduction.
It is a good introduction (mainly to Hyperledger projects...unsurprisingly) but not really suitable for those that are looking for in-depth Blockchain Development.
Good introduction for blockchain for developers with certification quiz.
Good Introduction.
Good introduction to Blockchain technology.

use cases
Would love some more practical use cases and labs, beyond the ones stated here.
Lots of useful examples and use cases.
Good examples and use cases provided.
The course pitches the topic at the right level focusses on the 3 elements of a good course - business use cases, architecture and considerations and development of practical applications.

hyperledger fabric
It is a good walk-through for of Hyperledger Fabric and Composer.
and most importantly get me code using hyperledger composer and hyperledger fabric.
They should mention in the course description that by "building blockchain solutions" they mean leveraging Hyperledger Composer and Hyperledger Fabric technologies (that IBM is invested in), and the labs for this course are simply links to online documentation and tutorials (available for free) for these technologies.
This is just a very high-level overview of Hyperledger Fabric, and while I now have a pretty good idea about how to use it, or at least where to go for API documentation, I have practically no understanding of chaincode and how to write it.

high level
Tutors are well supported The course very well structured, IBM's Hyperledger labs provide a very high level abstraction to better understand how blockchain can be applied to real world use cases!
Little high level than expected.
The labs were OK, but are way too introductory and high level for me to feel ready to go and start developing real world apps with the tools.
Course was at too high level, where labs where just a huge list of instruction about how to install lot of stuff, and coding was just a copy&paste activity from hyperledger website, IMHO not adding anything interesting.

business applications
The Hyperledger framework is interesting and has a number of business applications This alone saves the course from 1 star.
Course Material is A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Awesome course material It worth to know fundamentals of BlockChain for a business applications.
Overall, this course gives a good insight into the working of blockchains and helps developers to write smart contracts and deploy business applications.
