[SF] Introduction to Ethereum & Smart Contracts For Managers & Executives

Learn about verified, distributed computations in the cloud using Ethereum

Bitcoin took the world by surprise in the year 2009 and popularized the idea of decentralized secure monetary transactions. The concepts behind it, however, can be extended to much more than just digital currencies. Ethereum attempts to do that, marrying the power of decentralized transactions with a Turing-complete contract system.

In this class, we will take a closer look at Ethereum and its practical applications.
