PRE-REQUISITES for career in Blockchain :

There should be a basic pre-requisite for career in Blockchain which needs knowledge of programming languages . Most Blockchain career is created in languages like java , c++ , java script , c# , python & so on . .

Specifics for career in Blockchain technologies :

For Core Blockchain development , any of the before mentioned languages will be perfect for career in Blockchain. In case we have to create distributed applications & smart contracts on Ethereum , it is mandatory that we learn the programming language Solidity .

Then we need to understand the fundamentals of object oriented programming , for wrapping up of data & functions into a single unit . This is exactly what blockchain functions on .

For example , when we create Ethereum block , it has 2 components, DATA & FUNCTION . The user details act as DATA ( Data includes person who is sending the transaction , how much money they are planning to transfer ) . Then we have FUNCTION , which is the command to send & receive payment .

Knowledge about DATABASES ?

We learn FLAT & RELATIONAL DATABASES ( Blockchain is based on these ) , the working of data structures like STACK LIST , LINKED LIST , QUEUE & so on .

Then we understand the working of data structures like STACK LIST , LINKED LIST , QUEUE & so on . It is because Blockchain itself is a backlink list. Each block in a Blockchain references the previous block . This is done by a field in the block header known as PREVIOUS HASH that holds the hash value of preceding block .

KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WEB DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT ?

Being well versed in WEB APPLICATIONS (FRONT END DEVELOPMENT ), you are ready to enter into a wide opportunities to create web & mobile applications based on Blockchain technology .

KNOWLEDGE ABOUT NETWORKING ?

As it works on INTERNET , we learn how system’s communicate with each other , how the networks work , so on .

AFTER ALL THESE , WE CAN START A BLOCKCHAIN CAREER DEVELOPER ROLE . Few more points to be remember before entering into this career are : –

1) The first is to understand the concepts of Blockchain .

– Learning important terms related to Blockchain like public distributed ledger , hash encryption , proof of work & mining .

– Learning how system’s like ethereum , hyper ledger , hash graph & other systems that use Blockchain works to their technology .

2) Understand the economics behind cryptocurrency and blockchains .

– known as Crypto-Economics . Miners are rewarded after solving hashes .

3) Understanding how cryptocurrencies work & encryption & transmissions across network .

4) Getting hands on experience .

– Coding and creating your own smart contracts .

– Creating your own distrubuted applications on the Ethereum platform .
