Overview
This program is inclined towards serious developers and is designed for individuals with proficiency in any programming language and who are comfortable with building working applications. At the minimum, the learner should be comfortable with basic programming concepts and syntax (functions, recursion, expressions, basic concepts such as loops, conditional statements, etc.). Learners should expect to spend around 6 hours a week practicing what they learn during the latter part of the sessions, completing assignments and doing independent research to strengthen their understanding of the material covered.
The learner, after completion of this program, will be able to:
- Understand the various features of the Cardano Blockchain Platform.
- Gain proficiency in Haskell programming and its pertinence to Cardano smart contracts.
- Be proficient in Smart Contract Development on Cardano using Plutus.
- Be conversant with Marlowe smart contract development and be able to write basic financial smart contracts.
The learner will understand the various features of the Cardano blockchain platform, gain proficiency in Haskell Programming and its pertinence to Cardano Smart Contracts, be conversant with Marlowe smart contract development and write basic financial smart contracts and have a good understanding of Cardano from both a technical design orientation and a development perspective.
Gain an in-depth understanding of Plutus / Haskell development, and you would be able to create full-blown incentivized native tokens and smart contract-based applications. Grasp a functional understanding of how to port solidity smart contracts from the Ethereum platform to the KEVM TestNet and further. With an emphasis on hands-on activities topped off with a capstone project, this program is meant for serious application developers to gain a strong command of public blockchain application development using the Cardano platform.

Description
This program is aimed towards providing foundational knowledge of Cardano development. It will enable the learner to apply public blockchain solutions on the Cardano platform successfully and create disruptive decentralized P2P solutions in various real-world use cases. Building on the previous concepts, the latter sections aim to provide a comprehensive expert view of Plutus-based smart contract development. They will enable the learner to understand the programming aspects of this platform and understand the entire lifecycle of Cardano Development truly.
