Smart Contracts & Hyperledger Fabric: Working with Fabric Chaincode in Golang

In this course participants discover how to complete the provisioning of a Hyperledger Fabric network and to develop deploy and work with a smart contract coded in Go for their Blockchain projects. First learn how to use the configtxgen tool to create the Fabric network’s first Genesis block and channel. Then in a two-part tutorial about the docker-compose file you will define the certificate authority service for organization in the Fabric network and configure the network’s ordering service peer and state database services. Next learn how to provision the Fabric network by creating a Hyperledger Fabric network using the configuration files and initializing a channel. Another two-part tutorial on writing chaincode in Go examines the Init method and coding the Invoke method and the different operations that can be called in a Go smart contract for the Fabric network. Then learn to install and instantiate the Go chaincode and invoke the operations defined in the contract. A concluding exercise describes Docker services accessing the contract state in a smart contract and deploying chaincode on a channel.
