Publisher's Summary

Learn what a blockchain is and how it is built using standard computer science concepts and terminology.

In seven chapters, this book explains simply and practically how a blockchain is constructed and functions. It describes how the computers form the network; how data is tracked, managed, and verified; and how software updates and hacking affect the system.

What you'll learn: 

  • What is a blockchain
  • How the network is built
  • How changes are tracked
  • How data is transmitted through the network
  • How data is verified, and how that verification is incentivized
  • How data is sequenced, stored, and secured
  • How the network is secured and software is updated

Who This Book is For

This book is for programmers and technology enthusiasts who already have a general understanding of how computers, networks, and data structures work, and want to understand how these things come together to create blockchain technologies.
