Course Content

In this module, you will master the tools and resources that are essential for Cardano development, enabling you to efficiently build and deploy your blockchain solutions. You will learn how to:

Use the Cardano CLI to create keys, addresses, form transactions and understand the UTxO model
Learn about native concepts, native tokens and scripts
Learn how to use Transactional Metadata feature and mint tokens (Fungible and Non-Fungible)
Use the Cardano Explorer to review submitted transactions
Use popular 3rd party APIs such as Blockfrost and cardano-clips

In this module, you will learn about Plutus, a functional programming language that runs on the Cardano settlement layer. You will also learn how to use Plutus in conjunction with Haskell, a language familiar to many programmers. You will learn how to:

Write and test Plutus scripts
Deploy Plutus scripts to the Cardano blockchain
Interact with Plutus scripts from other applications

In this module, you will gain the knowledge and skills needed to create full-blown incentivized native tokens and smart contract-based applications on the Cardano blockchain. You will learn how to:

Design and develop smart contracts
Implement business logic in smart contracts
Deploy smart contracts to the Cardano blockchain
Interact with smart contracts from other applications

Course Assessment

The Cardano Developer Professional Program is assessed through a combination of assignments, quizzes, and a final project. The assignments and quizzes will test your understanding of the course material, while the final project will give you an opportunity to apply your skills to build a real-world Cardano application.
