Course Description
Welcome to the Stellar blockchain introductory course. Blockchain is a very essential technology that is being adopted more and more nowadays. Stellar is one of the many applications of the blockchain technology.

• Stellar can act like a decentralized money exchanger and used for crowd funding applications.

  
  

• Stellar can also be used create smart contracts which are programmed to be implemented based on the conditions and pre requisites in the code, removing the need for middlemen altogether. This helps with the issue of honesty since the concerned parties don't have to trust each other. The logic of the smart contract coupled with the fact that it’s on a decentralized blockchain network ensures immutability in contracts.

  
  

• In this course we'll be giving you an introduction to the blockchain network and the basics of stellar.

  
  

• We'll go through the stellar laboratory used as a test network of stellar, and the code for the transactions in stellar which amalgamated together along with the conditions make up a smart contract.

  
  

• We'll explain smart contracts in detail and touch on a few advanced topics in stellar.

  
  

• By the end of this course you should learn the concept behind the blockchain network and why it is trending nowadays, you should learn the basic and some advanced concepts of the stellar network. You should be able to code the multiple transactions we can perform in stellar and make a basis of a smart contract and a decentralized exchange. 

About the Author

My name is Mohammad Naeem , I’ve completed my masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Queen’s University, Kingston Ontario in 2018, before that I did my bachelors in Electrical engineering from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS). I’ve been working for Allied consultants for over 3 months now as a software engineer, My key area is the development of a product that uses blockchain technology, Stellar, which is one of the many blockchain technologies available. My job includes developing the front end as well as the back end of the application and linking them together. I am also working on building our own private blockchain which employs hyperledger fabric, which itself is a development tool for blockchain framework implementation. During the duration of my undergraduate and graduate studies, as well as during my job I have developed skills in several computing languages such as C++, JavaScript, HTML, and Python, C, Java, C# and MATLAB. I’ve worked with numerous other softwares as well such as PTC Creo, PSIM, ISIS, ARES and Arduino. I also work well in a team and have good communication skills, but I am adept at leadership as well, since I lead my team during their senior project and we performed exceptionally well.
