4. Recommendation and sharing of learning materials?

-------------------------------------

1. What is blockchain?

There are many definitions of blockchain, everyone has different opinions, and the industry has not yet unified. Everyone has their own Hamlet in their hearts. So it is not defined here. You can also refer to other answers.

Then I mainly recommend some learning materials about the concept of blockchain. After reading the materials I recommend, you should have an understanding of this technology:

Preliminary knowledge:

00. A story tells you how Bitcoin works and how it works :

01. What is blockchain | Babbitt

Formal study:

01. Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper on Bitcoin.

英文原版：Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System（https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf）

Chinese translation version: Bitcoin White Paper: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System ( Bitcoin White Paper: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System | Babbitt )

This white paper is the origin of the blockchain, and it is also a must-see for blockchain practitioners.

02. Open classes at Princeton University:

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency： Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies | Coursera

The content is very clear.

The principles of cryptography, the basic concepts of bitcoin, the consensus mechanism, the status quo of the blockchain, and the problems in the application of blocks, including the relatively new side chains, have been discussed.

Basically, it is a must-see for practitioners.

03. The book Master Bitcoin:

Chinese name: "Mastering Bitcoin"

English name: "Master Bitcoin"

I didn't find this book in jd/tb/dd/amz before, so I attach the Chinese electronic version: (Link : https://pan.baidu.com/s/1sl7IMz 7Password: uq7g) Intrusion and deletion.

This book is highly recommended to read, the content is from the simple to the deep, the basic concepts, code analysis are all there, and the cryptography is also very easy to understand.

Through the study of the above information, you will have a basic understanding of the blockchain.

2. Learn blockchain technology from a business perspective?

01. White Paper of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology:

10. Other information is not easy to share:

I think after reading the books and reports recommended above, you should have a relatively in-depth understanding of blockchain technology from a business perspective.

3. Learn blockchain technology from a technical perspective?

(1), the basic stage:

01. "Blockchain Development Guide" - author Shen Tu Qingchun:

The author's research on the bottom layer of Bitcoin is very in-depth, and the explanation is also very easy to understand.

02. "Blockchain Technology Guide" - Author Zou Jun:

As the first book in China to explain the blockchain from a technical perspective, it is worth reading. It has been well received since its publication in 2016.

03. "Blockchain Principle, Design and Application" - author Yang Baohua and Chen Chang:

Senior Chen Chang, as the CTO of Zhigui, remembers that the previous ink chain was based on Hyperledger Fabric, so this book is very thorough in explaining Hyperledger related open source products.

(2), the Ethereum part:

04. Introduction to Ethereum:

Official website: Ethereum Project
