Blockchain Hyperledger Fabric Fast Track

Course Overview

This unique course will begin with standing up a Hyperledger Fabric Network and finish with day-to-day network operations. This course accommodates students with very little experience with Fabric and provides the knowledge necessary for perform the roles of an Architect, Developer, and Administrator.

This 5 day course is a combination of:

• Blockchain Hyperledger Fabric: Architecting, Designing, and Deploying a Network (6882)
• Developing on Hyperledger Fabric (7927)

Target Audience

Architects, Developers, and System Administrators
