Principales reseñas sobre INTRODUCTION TO BLOCKCHAIN FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES
I was a complete new-comer to blockchain technology. This course has given me a good grounding in the technology, its applications and the obstacles to implementation.
Complete, sound and proven work - this course has taught so much in so less time! Some readings are just so engrossing that it makes you jump off the chair...enjoyed every bit!
A lot of information, but I feel like I have a basic and solid understanding of the BC works and some of the issues surrounding it and its adoption.
I loved the course content/structure, easy to understand instructions and clarity of the trainers.
I wish that all the external links could be accessible for free and without an additional signup.
