Diginomics has announced the release of the Ethereum Programming Course for cryptocurrency professionals and smart contract developers. The course, which costs $299 at the time of writing, will allow students to enrol over the span of a 6 week period as new lessons are made available from course instructors.

The programme has been designed to allow students to gain a deep understanding of the Ethereum network and how to program smart contracts in the shortest amount of time possible. No prior programming knowledge is required.

The information taught within the Ethereum Programming Course is of particular use to individuals in understanding the technical operation of the Ethereum network, implementing smart contracts into their business processes, and creating decentralized applications using coding samples and programming tutorials.

Primarily, instruction is given via video presentations, written explanations, and coding tutorials. The course also features timed examinations at regular intervals designed to test students understanding of core concepts. Topics that will be covered over the course will include: Introduction To Smart Contracts, The Blockchain & Proof-of-Stake, Programming With Solidity, Writing, Compiling and Deploying a Contract.

Travis Patron, the leading course instructor and author of The Bitcoin Revolution: An Internet of Money, commented: “The Ethereum Programming Course is tailored specifically to bitcoin industry professionals who wish to be at the forefront of the transformative innovation of smart contracts. Although Ethereum technology is currently still in the early stages, I’m confident that smart contracting systems are the next frontier of internet-enabled commerce. We’re very excited to offer the first fully-featured course on this technology.”
