Hi,

Do you want to learn the basic concept of blockchain or how to implement blockchain?

For learning basic concept you can follow these paper:

• R. Henry, A. Herzberg and A. Kate, "Blockchain Access Privacy: Challenges and Directions," in IEEE Security & Privacy, vol. 16, no. 4, pp. 38-45, July/August 2018.
• K. Christidis and M. Devetsikiotis, "Blockchains and Smart Contracts for the Internet of Things," in IEEE Access, vol. 4, pp. 2292-2303, 2016.
• M. D. Pierro, "What Is the Blockchain?," in Computing in Science & Engineering, vol. 19, no. 5, pp. 92-95, 2017.
• B. A. Scriber, "A Framework for Determining Blockchain Applicability," in IEEE Software, vol. 35, no. 4, pp. 70-77, July/August 2018.

For learning implementation:

• Geth (Ethereum client) - https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/geth
• Web3.js (JSON-RPC) - https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/
• Solidity (Smart Contrract) - https://github.com/ethereum/solidity
• Truffle (deploy smart contract) - https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle

Thanks.

Wikipedia has a good entry to find out about Blockchain

Thank you Chris Oliver , Ingrid Del Valle García Carreño , Anik Islam Abhi and Faisal Khalil for your responses.

Our School of Computing at Edinburgh Napier University has people working in this area. See below url. Not my subject to be honest...but I'm sure our Prof. Bill Buchanan has some interesting resources.

Hope this helps.

Hi Sarfaraz Masood ! If you like taking online courses, these resources will be useful to you: https://classpert.com/blockchain-and-cryptocurrency

This website compiles courses from several providers, so you can go beyond Coursera and Udemy and find out several other learning styles that might better suit your needs.

Bloclchain is a distributed electronic record that is shared between all members and its content is kept identical between different members and update simultaneously. It has two major advantages 1- provides security and privacy with help of advanced cryptographic tools 2- Provides Distributed Autonomous functionalities with help of smart contract. Blockchain would facilitate distributed and decentralized AI algorithm and increase their trustworthiness, reliability, accuracy, etc. Please see this reference for more information:

"A Blockchain Enabled Cyber-Physical System Architecture for Industry 4.0 Manufacturing Systems”
