This course lays the groundwork for the Solidity language by giving an overview of blockchains, Ethereum, smart contracts, and the high-level features of the Solidity programming language.

Take an in-depth look into the features of the Solidity language - from the types supported, to the varieties of functions, to the notion of contract inheritance. Operations such as ether transfers are also covered.

The quickest way to get started with smart contract development using Solidity is using the Remix IDE. This course explores the key features of Remix and how it can be set up to connect to private and public Ethereum networks.

Explore the various types of functions in the Solidity language - from basic getters and setters to restricted access functions. Also learn how polymorphism and inheritance are implemented in Solidity.

Transferring Ether between Ethereum Accounts is the fundamental financial transaction performed by smart contracts. Examine the different ways this can be accomplished using fallback and payable functions.

Examine the use of data structures in Solidity such as mappings and structs and explore how to use basic control structures such as if-else statements and loops.

Explore how to combine fundamental Solidity function programming skills with ether transfers and data structures to build smart contracts representing real uses cases such as polling, banking, and escrows.

Explore the foundations of Hyperledger and Fabric, including the steps involved in setting up a Fabric network from scratch and using Hyperledger Composer with business-level abstractions.

Discover how to download and install the prerequisites for Hyperledger Fabric and how to develop the configuration files required to set up a Fabric network.

Discover how to complete the provisioning of a Hyperledger Fabric network and how to develop, deploy, and work with a smart contract coded in Go.

Explore how to develop a Hyperledger Fabric smart contract to serve as an inventory of vehicles using NodeJS and how to deploy and interact with it.

Examine the steps involved in building a JavaScript web application that interacts with a smart contract deployed to an Hyperledger Fabric network.

Explore the definition and testing of a blockchain app for recording transactions on supply chain assets using the business-level abstraction of Hyperledger Composer and the Composer Playground tool.

Discover how to configure a development environment for Hyperledger Composer networks on your own machine, deploy the network definition to Fabric network, and interact with it using a web app and a REST API server.

• Practice Smart Contracts Programmer tasks such as creating smart contracts in Remix, adding function to a smart contract, and testing, reviewing and extending a smart contract. Then, test your skills by answering assessment questions after creating a Hyperledger fabric chain and creating queries fabric chaincode.
