Hyperledger Fabric is the leading open source software platform for permissioned enterprise blockchains. Learn how to use the latest version (1.0) of Hyperledger Fabric codebase in a real blockchain network environment where you can play with smart contract deployments.
Is your team planning to build blockchain applications for your industry use case or project? Do you want to become fully skilled for building commercial-grade blockchain applications on Hyperledger Fabric 1.0 and deploying private blockchain networks? Then this advanced course is what you need!
NOTE: Cannot make the date? Please email us at training@altoros.com to discuss alternate dates!
Course duration:
3 days (8 hrs per day).
Objectives:
Learn concepts and use cases of permissioned blockchains.
Learn architecture of Fabric 1.0, setup network, run smart contracts.
Learn to write smart contracts and deploy them in a complete blockchain application.
Benefits to you:
Solid hands-on technical skills developing and deploying blockchain applications with Hyperledger Fabric.
Interactive experience with expert trainers who have built working blockchain apps, an opportunity to ask questions and get real-life examples.
Who should attend?
Developers who have understanding of blockchains and want to know how to design and write their own blockchain applications on top of Hyperledger Fabric V1.0.
If you experimented with smart contracts, or worked with Ethereum, other blockchains, and want to dive into Fabric 1.0 - this is the right course for you.
Prerequisites:
Working knowledge of Golang, Java, or Javascript

MISP Developer Training & Hackathon about the Threat Intelligence Platform
12 Jan - 10:00 AM
Zürich, Switzerland
In a continuous effort since 2016, CIRCL frequently gives training sessions about MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform & Threat Sharing) and hackathon. The purpose is to reach out to security analysts using MISP as a threat intelligence platform along with users using it as an information sharing platform. This is an opportunity for the users to meet the developers and exchange about potential improvements or use-cases using MISP as a threat-intelligence platform. This hackathon and developer training session is kindly hosted by SWITCH.ch.The MISP training will demonstrate how the platform functions; explain how to share, comment and contribute data, and describe the future developments. This part of the training focuses on the extension aspects of MISP including API, ZMQ or even contributing in the core software. The audience intended for this training are the analysts with some software engineering experience who are willing to expand MISP to suit their integration or extension requirements. Or contributors to the MISP project which want to take an active role in the MISP developer community.
