商品描述

Work with blockchain and understand its potential application beyond cryptocurrencies in the domains of healthcare, Internet of Things, finance, decentralized organizations, and open science. Featuring case studies and practical insights generated from a start-up spun off from the author’s own lab, this book covers a unique mix of topics not found in others and offers insight into how to overcome real hurdles that arise as the market and consumers grow accustomed to blockchain based start-ups.

You'll start with a review of the historical origins of blockchain and explore the basic cryptography needed to make the blockchain work for Bitcoin. You will then learn about the technical advancements made in the surrounded ecosystem: the Ethereum virtual machine, Solidity, Colored Coins, the Hyperledger Project, Blockchain-as-a-service offered through IBM, Microsoft and more.

 

This book looks at the consequences of machine-to-machine transactions using the blockchain socially, technologically, economically and politically. Blockchain Enabled Applications provides you with a clear perspective of the ecosystem that has developed around the blockchain and the various industries it has penetrated.

What You’ll Learn

  • Implement the code-base from Fabric and Sawtooth, two open source blockchain-efforts being developed under the Hyperledger Project.
  • Evaluate the benefits of integrating blockchain with emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence in the cloud.
  • Use the practical insights provided by the case studies to your own projects or start-up ideas.
  • Set up a development environment to compile and manage projects.

Who This Book Is For

Developers who are interested in learning about the blockchain as a data-structure, the recent advancements being made and how to implement the code-base.

Decision makers within large corporations (product managers, directors or CIO level executives) interested in implementing the blockchain who need more practical insights and not just theory.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在醫療保健、物聯網、金融、去中心化組織和開放科學等領域,與區塊鏈合作並了解其在加密貨幣之外的潛在應用。本書以作者自己實驗室創立的初創公司所產生的案例研究和實用見解為特色,涵蓋了其他書籍中找不到的獨特主題,並提供了如何克服市場和消費者對基於區塊鏈的初創公司產生的真實障礙的見解。

您將首先回顧區塊鏈的歷史起源,並探索使比特幣的區塊鏈運作所需的基本密碼學。然後,您將了解周圍生態系統中所做的技術進步:以太坊虛擬機、Solidity、Colored Coins、Hyperledger項目、IBM、Microsoft等提供的區塊鏈即服務。

本書從社會、技術、經濟和政治角度探討了使用區塊鏈進行機器對機器交易的後果。《區塊鏈應用》為您提供了對區塊鏈周圍生態系統和其滲透的各個行業的清晰觀點。

您將學到以下內容:

- 實施在Hyperledger項目下開發的兩個開源區塊鏈項目Fabric和Sawtooth的代碼庫。
- 評估將區塊鏈與機器學習和人工智能等新興技術整合的好處。
- 使用案例研究提供的實用見解來應用於您自己的項目或初創點子。
- 建立開發環境來編譯和管理項目。

本書適合對區塊鏈作為數據結構、最新進展以及如何實施代碼庫感興趣的開發人員。

對於有意實施區塊鏈並需要更多實用見解而不僅僅是理論的大型企業的決策者(產品經理、主管或CIO級高管)也適用。
