StudytheBlockchain is a phenomenal online blockchain course with articulate instructors who will teach you what blockchain is, how write your own Ethereum smart contracts, and how to develop your own dapps (decentralized apps). StudytheBlockchain really helped me take my career to the next level, and for that I am quite thankful!

This class will give you the resources and steps to be a successful blockchain developer. Want to start a blockchain start up instead? This class is for you as well. It's the fundamentals that you'll learn that will prepare you for a successful journey in the blockchain field. Technologies I learned are web3, OpenZepplin, Smart Contract, IPFS, Truffle, Javascript and more. Bonus: There was a class that we had an lawyer presented to us the legal structure of ICO, which exceed my expectation of the class contents that I thought I would received.

The class was a great experience: the more you put, the more you will get out of it. The teacher is highly devoted to promptly answer to any questions during class and to do one on ones. Great professionalism and passion for the subject make this class unique. Highly recommended.

Study the Blockchain is a challenging, affordable, and intensive course. You should definitely have some knowledge of Web Development & JavaScript before signing up because the instructor dives right into the material. In the second class you are already writing smart contracts in Solidity, using Ganache as a local Ethereum network during development, and using MetaMask to approve transactions. The instructor challenges each student by asking direct questions to make sure everyone in the class understands the material before moving onto the next topic. The instructor also breaks the class up into small group sessions multiple times throughout the class to ensure pair programming and collaboration. From a professional software engineer's perspective, pair programming is such a vital key to learning. The instructor understands the benefits of pair programming and also assists the small groups when needed. The course overall is incredible. If you come into the class with a passion for blockchain and some prior knowledge of JavaScript, you will be writing a similar review upon completion of the course.

Syllabus

You can download our syllabus to the right. Our curriculum covers the following topics:

Blockchain Fundamentals (Technical and Non-Technical) - Our comprehensive pre-work will provide an overview of Bitcoin and Ethereum (proof of work, mining, wallets, transactions), digital ownership (digital keys + addresses + digital signatures), Ethereum's role in DApps and the basics of cryptography.

Solidity Deep Dive - We'll thoroughly go over solidity concepts and connecting a web application to a solidity contract. You'll make your own Tokens - yes! Dive into the CryptoKitties code! And we'll utilize decentralized storage to make a truly unstoppable forever application owned by no one!

DApp Development - We'll develop a Decentralized Application (DApp) from start to end together. You'll explain every line step by step to your classmates in groups so that you understand every single detail of the code!

DApp Testing and Deployment - There are various ways of deploying a smart contract, and we'll look at all of them. We'll also learn to test our smart contracts and optimize them to reduce gas expenditure.

Solidity Smart Contract & DApp Project - You'll group together with other students and build out a smart contract project and get feedback from your instructor and peers. Your next co-founder could be around the corner. You could be leading the next multi-million dollar ICO.

Upcoming Program Dates

This class starts on March 25, 2019. We meet Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays online.

On the last day, you and your groups will present your decentralized applications to Blockchain companies.

FAQ

What will the class experience be like?

You'll feel like you're in a real classroom but from the comfort of your home. We swear that you'll enjoy it better than an in person class. Everyone sits in the front row in our online classes.

Group Work will be easier, because with 2 clicks your instructor can group students into little rooms like this:

Groups can chat, share their screen to other group members, pair program with each other. When the activity is over, you'll automatically be put back into the main classroom.

Go ahead, raise your hand, your instructor will come.

During group work you can click the ask for help button and your instructor will come into the room and help you. You can even give your instructor remote control, and your instructor literally will type and move the mouse on your screen helping you as if they were right next to you.
How many students are in each class?

The class is broken down into groups for activities. Your group size will be 3 to 4 students. You and your groups will learn together with the instructor. Each group will have a student group leader assigned with the responsibility to make sure everyone in the group understands every single line of code during discussions and group pair programming! Class size will be capped up to 30 students.
How does the class communicate?

Your class will have a slack room that you will be able to use during class time, in between classes and post graduation.

Instruction

Steven Li is currently the CTO of a startup in the cryptocurrency space. He has built trading systems has handled over $3+ billion dollars of open trading volume in cryptocurrency mainly serving Venture Capital and Hedge Funds.

Steven is also an Adjunct Instructor at UC Berkeley for Data Science and Web Development. There he teaches algorithms, data structures, computer architecture, machine learning and natural language processing.

Steven actively trades and mines cryptocurrency. Before, Steven was a Senior Software Engineer at Walmart Labs and studied Computer Science and Economics at UC Berkeley.

Teaching Format

This isn't the traditional "watch some apathetic academic lecture for 3 hours" kind of class. This class is dynamic, hands-on, and full of discussions. You will take part in pair programming (in pairs or small groups), get prompt responses to questions from the instructor, and create a capstone project where you'll receive support from your peers, the instructor, or alumni.

Instructor codes/talks in blocks of 15 to 20 minutes max followed by a group activity or discussion
Instructor engages with every single student ensuring everyone understands the material and no one is left behind
You will discuss the activities and coding concepts in detail in pairs or small groups
You'll work on a capstone smart contract and DApp project either alone or in a group while receiving help from the instructor, your peers, or alumni

Instructor Qualifications

Instructors have over five years of experience developing applications, have developed their own decentralized applications, and have teaching experience.

Each instructor goes through a rigorous interview process where they must demonstrate that they are engaging, caring, intelligent, and creative.

All of our instructors are focused on student success. All students must demonstrate that they understand the material, otherwise the teacher has failed. To prevent failure, we regularly request anonymous feedback from students and keep close tabs on your progress throughout the course. The purpose is to make sure you're happy, motivated, and can code!

Instructors add in their own experience to the carefully crafted curriculum made by blockchain developers and world-class curriculum developers, making the Study The Blockchain Bootcamp a truly one of a kind experience. Upon acceptance into the program, you will get the opportunity to speak to your instructor.

Graduates

Here are some of the final projects from our graduates. We believe the future of blockchain will be built by these students. We encourage you to communicate with them. View all of our graduates.
