Product details

In 25 concise steps, you will learn the fundamentals of blockchain technology. No mathematical formulas, programming codes, or computer science jargon are used. No prior knowledge in computer science, mathematics, programming, or cryptography is required. The terminology is explained through images, analogies, and metaphors. This book bridges the gap between purely technical books about blockchain and purely business-oriented books. It explains both the technical concepts that make up the blockchain and their role in business-relevant applications.

What you will learn:

  • What blockchain is
  • Why it is needed and what problem it solves
  • Why there is so much excitement about blockchain and its potential
  • Key components and their purpose
  • How different components of the blockchain work and interact
  • Limitations, why they exist, and what has been done to overcome them.
