R3 Corda Blockchain Architecture Training - On-Demand Course

The R3 Corda Blockchain Architecture Training course is a 3-day course that is designed to help students review Blockchain and the architectural and technical topics that should be considered before launching a Blockchain development project on the R3 Corda platform. There are a number of decisions and issues that face the technical project team and this course will help students to make those decisions.

• R3 Corda fundamental concepts
• How R3 Corda works
• The types of R3 Corda applications
• R3 Corda use cases
• How does R3 Corda compare to traditional financial software development
• How does R3 Corda compare to Bitcoin
• How does R3 Corda compare to Ethereum
• How does R3 Corda compare to Hyperledger
• The R3 Corda app structure
• R3 Corda components (states, transactions, contracts, notaries, oracles, and flows)
• Designing R3 Corda solutions
• Developing R3 Corda solutions
• Unit testing R3 Corda solutions
• R3 Corda Client RPC and REST APIs
• R3 Corda infrastructure (identity, TLS, AMQP, Artemis, Quasar)

?

Architect and Technical Leaders who make technical decisions about their architecture, environments, and development platforms.
