You will learn the fundamentals of blockchain and how this technology will revolutionize transactions and business networks.In this course, you learn about the key architectural components that are specific to the Hyperledger Fabric project and how they interact to provide a foundation for a business blockchain network. The hands-on labs in this course show you how to deploy an Hyperledger network Fabric, how to create a working chaincode, deploy it to a blockchain network running on linux on z Systems (or Linuxone), and run some simple tests with it.
