Descriptions

Learn advanced Go concepts by building a reference implementation of a blockchain in Go! The goal of this class is to share how to code complex engineering tasks required to build a blockchain technology. From the beginning, you will pair program with the instructor, walking through the design philosophies and guidelines used to engineer the code. Throughout the class, you will learn more about Go and the advanced engineering features of the language. The blockchain project is a reference implementation of a blockchain written in Go. It takes ideas from both Bitcoin and Ethereum to provide a fully functioning blockchain that can handle basic accounting transactions. This project does not implement or provide any virtual machine for smart contract support.

This project should not be considered a production useable project. With that being said, the code has been written as if this project were going to be used in production. The full set of design philosophies, guidelines, and idioms have been respected. This class tries to teach to the core design philosophies for blockchain technology. It’s important to understand that each publically available blockchain technology implements things differently for the concerns and tradeoffs that are important to them. The Ardan blockchain has blended these implementations together to provide a reference implementation that hopefully can be understood by a majority of people.
