MR Salch has used, modified, and even held a patent on blockchain technology, yet he will explain this technology in down to earth understandable terms. ========== This class is part of a series on Computer Software. Each class is independent, and can be purchased separately. I recommend taking all the classes to become well rounded, but it is not necessary. The classes repeat as a series in different timeslots each repetition. If you can not male any particular sessions, remember that you can always use the video recording and ask questions in the online classroom forum.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been involved in both blockchain and Bitcoin for several years, in fact I held a patent pending on some core blockchain improvements. As a technology executive and engineer, I have followed the progress of the crypto currency industry closely, while operating my own"mining farm". This gives me a unique overall view of the concepts that make Bitcoin work. Leveraging my software / hardware background with decades of presentation and group teaching skills allows me to bring this understanding to the next generation in a easy to understand manner.
