A Collection of Blockchain Syllabi and Course Material

Community

Since many of us are professors, teaching assistants, or want to be, I figured we might want to start collating all of the teaching materials.

Here’s a link to Dawn Song and Christine Parlour’s Decentralized Finance Spring 2021 course at UC Berkeley. The curriculum is designed for CS and Econ graduate students and contains a mixture of hard science and overview. Includes links to video lectures and papers: PHDBA 297T4

Another one I’m looking at is Samuel Perl’s “Blockchain Fundamentals” course at Carnegie Mellon University: 950410 Blockchain Fundamentals - it uses Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies as a textbook as well as Ross Anderson’s Security Engineering - a guide to building dependable distributed systems

The University of Nicosia has a free Digital Currencies MOOC taught by Antonis Polemitis, Prof. George Giaglis, and Andreas Antonopoulos - DFIN-511

I wanted to add this open-source course on blockchain protocols contributed to by five people including Karl Floersch: https://cryptoeconomics.study/en/

Although, still a work in progress.

Thank you for a nice addition @Fizzymidas ! I asked @Larry_Bates for some of his favorite articles about coding and here are his suggestions: Pragmatic Intro to Smart Contracts in Hyperledger Fabric & Go — part 1; Pragmatic Intro to Smart Contracts in Hyperledger Fabric & Go— part 2; and [Part 3](https://Pragmatic Intro to Smart Contracts in Hyperledger Fabric & Go — part 3).

I have found the Cryptocurrency Engineering and Design course at MIT to be fairly comprehensive, starting at the basics then ramps up to concepts like payment channels and confidential transactions.
