Hands-on Blockchain with Hyperledger: Building decentralized applications with Hyperledger Fabric and Composer - Softcover

Leverage the power of Hyperledger Fabric to develop Blockchain-based distributed ledgers with ease

Key Features

• Write your own chaincode/smart contracts using Golang on hyperledger network
• Build and deploy decentralized applications (DApps)
• Dive into real world blockchain challenges such as integration and scalability

Book Description

Blockchain and Hyperledger technologies are hot topics. Hyperledger Fabric and Hyperledger Composer are open source projects that help organizations create private, permissioned blockchain networks. Applications that exploit them include finance, banking, supply chains, IoT, and much more. This book will be an easy reference to explore and build blockchain networks using Hyperledger technologies.

This book will start by explaining the blockchain evolution, including an overview of relevant blockchain technologies. You will learn how to configure Hyperledger Fabric on a cloud platform. Understand the architectural components of Hyperledger Fabric, and how they are configured to build private blockchain networks, and applications that connect to them. You'll build up a network and application from scratch, starting with first principles. You'll learn how to implement smart contracts in chaincode and much more on the Hyperledger network.

By the end of this book, you will be able to build and deploy your own decentralized applications using Hyperledger, addressing the key pain points encountered in the blockchain life cycle.

What you will learn

• Discover why blockchain is a game changer in the technology landscape
• Set up blockchain networks using basic Hyperledger Fabric deployment
