How to become a Blockchain developer?
Before you start off on your path to become a Blockchain developer, there are a few things you have to know!
Step 1:
Being well versed in programming languages is important because most Blockchains are created in languages like:
For core Blockchain Development, any of the aforementioned languages can be used for coding purposes.
Step 2:
But for software development (like distributed applications and smart contracts) on Ethereum, you’ll need to learn the programming language Solidity and the concepts of Object Oriented Programming (which is the wrapping up of data and functions into a single unit) are what Blockchains function on!
Step 3:
Blockchain was created on the basis of concepts from Flat and Relational Databases
Step 4:
It is important to understand the working of data structures like:
•Stack,
•Linked list
•Queue, etc.…because Blockchain is a back-linked list of blocks that hold transactions
Each block is references the block before it, in the “previous hash” field in its header
Step 5:
Being well versed in Web applications opens up a wide array of opportunities to create web and mobile applications based on Blockchain Technology
let’s have a quick recap of skills you need to become a Blockchain developer :
Now, you’re ready to start your journey to become a Blockchain developer!
Q: What is the scope?
Blockchain has worldwide acclaim now!
It has created a huge number of job opportunities across the world…
