Specializing Course - Workshop Blockchain Development | BLOCKCHAIN & CODING duration Part-time
After the advent of the Internet, Blockchain technology represents the most important innovation of our time. In fact, the potential application fields of this disruptive technology are practically unlimited. Born with the aim of allowing transactions without the intermediation of third party guarantors, the Blockchain technology is revolutionizing the concepts of ownership and trust that are at the basis of economic transactions.
Due to the great opportunities related to it, the transition to blockchain-based solutions now represents a priority for any organization that wants to play an active role in the era of Data Economy. In the near future, the Blockchain will therefore acquire more and more relevance, both in the private and public sectors – and the recent establishment of the European Blockchain Partnership is proof of this.
This is why the demand for Blockchain developers is constantly increasing. There has never been a better time to train in this area: becoming a Blockchain developer today means earning the technological leadership of tomorrow!
