The course aims to provide a thorough understanding of the core principles and characteristics of decentralized applications (DApps). Participants will learn about the benefits and challenges of DApp development, including decentralization, immutability, and user empowerment.
● Participants will acquire the necessary skills to develop front-end interfaces for DApps. They will learn modern web development technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular) to create engaging and user-friendly interfaces that interact with the underlying blockchain. ● The course will cover the integration of smart contracts with DApps. Participants will learn how to interact with smart contracts from the front-end using web3.js or similar libraries, enabling DApps to read from and write to the blockchain, execute transactions, and update contract states. ● Participants will gain insights into designing DApp architecture and optimizing user experience. They will learn best practices for structuring DApps, handling data flows between the front-end and smart contracts, and implementing intuitive user interfaces that seamlessly interact with the blockchain. ● The course will cover essential aspects of testing, deploying, and maintaining DApps. Participants will learn how to write comprehensive tests for their DApp's smart contracts and front-end components, deploy DApps to testnets or the mainnet, and ensure ongoing maintenance and updates to keep their DApps functional and secure. Target Learners: ● Software Developers: Experienced developers interested in expanding their skills into blockchain technology and decentralized application development. ● Blockchain Enthusiasts: Individuals with a keen interest in blockchain technology and its applications, who want to learn how to build decentralized applications. ● Entrepreneurs and Innovators: Individuals looking to explore opportunities in the decentralized finance (DeFi), decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), or other blockchain-based ventures. ● Tech Professionals: Professionals in various technology-related fields such as IT, cybersecurity, or fintech who want to enhance their understanding of blockchain technology and its implementation. ● Corporate Developers: Developers working in large corporations who want to understand the potential impact of blockchain technology on their industry and learn how to integrate decentralized applications into existing systems. ● Cryptocurrency Traders and Investors: Individuals involved in trading or investing in cryptocurrencies who want a deeper understanding of the underlying technology and potential investment opportunities in DApps. To be successful in this course, you should have a background in: ● Programming: A solid understanding of programming fundamentals is essential. Proficiency in languages commonly used in blockchain development such as JavaScript, Python, or Solidity (for Ethereum) is particularly useful. ● Web Development: Knowledge of web development technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is valuable since many decentralized applications have front-end interfaces. ● Data Structures and Algorithms: Understanding fundamental data structures and algorithms will help in designing efficient and secure decentralized applications. ● Blockchain Basics: Familiarity with basic blockchain concepts such as distributed ledger technology, consensus mechanisms, smart contracts, and cryptographic principles is recommended.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
