Objective
This course is designed for participants wishing to gain a deeper insight in blockchain based cryptocurrency technologies. In this course the inner workings of cryptocurrencies are imparted through implementing a simple cryptocurrency in Rust. Because of its memory safety and concurrency guaranties, Rust is one of today’s first choice for implementing crypto wallets and crypto mining software. All concepts are explained through step by step live coding. As Rust’s basic syntax is very similar to C and Java, the code samples are easy to understand, even without previous knowledge in Rust. Additional beginner exercises help you to take the first steps in Rust.
