Smart Contracts & Hyperledger Fabric: Foundations of Hyperledger Fabric

In this course you will explore the foundations of Hyperledger Fabric including setting up a Fabric network and using Hyperledger Composer with business-level abstractions. Learn about blockchains and their mechanism to securely record transactions. Learn to identify characteristics and limitations of public blockchain networks. The course recalls origins of the Hyperledger project and its approach toward building blockchain solutions and the different blockchain implementations offered by Hyperledger. Participants will set up a Fabric network without using any of the Hyperledger tools. Use a tech-based approach to identify the components of the Fabric network that must be planned and provisioned. You will learn to recognize how to use business-level abstractions and enumerate different files to define a blockchain network in Hyperledger Composer. You will also learn about the features of Hyperledger Composer Playground. Steps involved in deploying a Fabric network definition into a production environment will be examined. The concluding exercise reviews the Hyperledger Fabric framework describing tools definition files used in Composer and the features of Hyperledger Composer Playground.
