Meetup Description:

What is Blockchain?

Blockchain is an emerging technology that is revolutionizing the way we make transactions. It’s a decentralized, distributed ledger that allows participants in a business network to record transactions in a way that provides trust, immutability, provenance, and finality.

Hyperledger Fabric

Hyperledger Fabric is an open-source technology that allows you to build and deploy end-to-end applications on the Blockchain.

In this workshop, learn how to create an end-to-end Blockchain application using Composer, Hyperledger Fabric’s framework that abstracts the Blockchain Application development process, using Javascript transaction processor functions.

Agenda:

6:30 – 6:45: A brief introduction to IBM Cloud.
6:45 – 7:00: An introduction to Blockchain and Hyperledger Composer.
7:00 – 8:00: Developing a business network using Hyperledger Composer
8:00 – 8:30: Deploying to the Fabric, testing the application.
