How can a newbie start learning about Blockchain?
It is true that Blockchain is one of the most revolutionary changes that has
emerged in the recent past. Some believe that it is going to be a key driver of
change for many industries. This has opened the gateway to opportunities for
many businesses to start developing Blockchain-based applications and at the
same time, it also paves the way for new job opportunities. Knowing this
technology and its application in various domains will keep you ahead of the
crowd. It will positively affect your resume and will fetch you a better job and a
handsome salary.

The next question that pops up is how a beginner should begin learning about this
technology. Although, you may find many companies promoting these courses,
but finding the one which can provide you with hands-on experience in addition to
theoretical practice is a daunting task. Blockchain Council is a renowned platform
for learning. It offers courses for both, the beginners and the professionals.

But what does it take to become a blockchain
Developer?
There are a few necessary things that you must know in case you want to make a
career in Blockchain or if you want to learn about this technology. If you have
basic knowledge about computers and coding, this will help in better
understanding the concepts of the blockchain.
Companies who are currently hiring for Blockchain are looking for candidates who
know how to improvise the current technology and come up with something new;
this is only possible if you have thorough technical knowledge.

What are the prerequisites for become a Blockchain
Developer?
1. To being learning about blockchain, you must start off by learning the basics
of Blockchain and cryptocurrency. You can begin this by joining various blockchain
communities and visiting Bitcoin forums on Reddit, crypto vlogs on YouTube and
Blockchain news on Coindesk.
2. Well, if you are ready to have some hands-on experience, you can do the
same by buying some cryptocurrency and trading it. You can try Coinbase for the
same.

. 3. You can join courses provided by various online forms like the one offered by
Blockchain Council.
4. Coding, having the basic idea about coding will always be helpful. It will help
you do the programming for Blockchain applications.

I have divided the phase of development of blockchain
Developer in two parts:
Part 1:You must be a developer:
With the basic understanding of programming like Object Oriented Programing
Language, flat and relational database and procedural language will always prove
to be helpful in the understanding blockchain.
7

A developer has a better understanding of Data Structure, so begin with gaining
insight into Data structures. Secondly, you must have the zeal to understand new
technology. You must learn about Queues, Tree, Stack, LinkedList and Hedera
HashMaps data structure.
You must learn about coding as it will help you write efficient codes for Blockchain.
8

Also, an understanding of basic architectures like MVVM, MVC, Document-View
Architecture, MVC, and Microservices, knowing this will help you understand the
difference between the conventional and decentralised system.
Besides, you must also learn the fundamentals of Communication Architectures.
Its always advisable that you must know the programming languages like C, C++
or JavaScript. If you are a fresher, you must first gear up to learn all the subjects
as mentioned earlier so that it becomes easy for you to understand the Blockchain
system.

Part 2: Blockchain Developer
There is no particular requirement to become a Blockchain Developer, but if you
are well-versed with the technical aspect and also have basic knowledge about
the decentralised system, then it would be easy for you to understand and work on
this system.
You need to master the following if you want to make your career in the
Blockchain. Ethereum and Hyperledger are popular blockchain platforms:
10

Ethereum-
Learning Solidity is a must if you're going to make your career in this domain,
Solidity plays a crucial role in writing smart contracts. Solidity is an object-oriented
programing language which is quite similar to ECMA Script and JavaScript.
Hyperledger:
It is a permission private Blockchain which plays a key role in developing
Hyperledger tools. You must have knowledge about two projects:
· Hyperledger Fabric
· Hyperledger Composer
11

Final call
The Blockchain is a revolutionary technology which is here to change the course
of doing business and rendering services across various business niches. This
has made many big names in the industries to explore various aspects of this
technology and its multifaceted application. It has given rise to the need for
Blockchain Developers who can aid the process of development of this platform.
