This course can help you learn all ofthose skillsbut there are some prerequisites for the course:Experience with either Javascript or Java. Course will NOT teach JavascriptBasic understanding of the Javascript/HTML DOM modelAccess to a PC or MAC with access to the Internet (Minimum 4GBneeded 6 GBpreferred)Comfortable with new software installation & hands on codingCourse Approach?This course takes the approach of Learnby doing. Students are encouraged to try out all aspects of the technologies on their own after each lecture. Almost allof the concepts discussed in thelectures are shown in action by way code samples etc. The demo code used in the lectures is available for download from GitHub so that students can change the code to try out new things. Front end of the Decentralized applications are typically created as single page or desktop applications using Javascript/HTML/CSS. Since there are multiple Javascript frameworks, it was decided to keep the lectures independent of any specific JS framework. Students are free to use any one or more JS frameworks of their choice.Multiple quizzes in each section will validate students knowledge. Coding exercises will help them understand the concepts better & gain confidence.Students will download the source code for a fully built DAPP - this DAPPshows/teaches all of the web3 APIthat students need to learn.

Ethereum is the leading Blockchain platform and is accepted as the most mature platform for Blockchain applications. Ethereum technology is quite complex but the approach taken in this course ""Learn by doing"" will accelerate the learning process and make it easy for the students to understand the concepts. Please refer to ""Introduction to Ethereum"" below for a high level overview of Ethereum.Why learn Blockchain/Ethereum?If we are to believe the pundits, Blockchain will change the way software is built for business transactions. Almost all industries are looking to leverage this new technology to gain efficiencies and/or to create new business models & opportunities. Organizations are looking for talent in this new technology and facing difficulty in finding developers/architects who can design and develop Blockchain applications.Taking this course will prepare you to innovate using this cutting edge technology that promises to change the world around us. It will prepare you for the future.Introduction to EthereumThe digital cryptocurrency Bitcoin was the first Blockchain application. Success of Bitcoin led to the creation of the Ethereum platform. Whereas Bitcoin is a Blockchain Application, Ethereum is a Blockchain Platform. Ethereum not only supports a distributed ledger but it also supports Smart Contracts.Smart Contracts are computer programs that has the code that implements contractual agreements (rules) between two or more parties. The rules coded in the smart contract are triggered by events in the physical world and automatically carry out some predefined action(s). All of this happens without any intermediary, web servers or back end databases.Let me give you an example - Ebayis the intermediary between the buyer and seller. EBay makes $ every time a buyer buys an item from the seller. In a decentralized bidding application a smart contract can replace EBay the intermediary. The rule coded in the contract will be that when buyer will pay, the seller will ship the item to the buyer. The funds will be held in the smart contract till buyer confirms the receiving of the goods. Once the buyer confirms the receipt of goods the funds will be released to the seller. Smart Contracts are executed on the Ethereum network nodes as opposed to a centralized server infrastructure owned by an intermediary (e.g., Ebay). Nodes are Ethereum client processes running on the network participants computer.Anyone can write Ethereum decentralized application, so in other words you can create your own Bitcoin like Cryptocurrency or Ebay like application on a public Ethereum network. Please note that all applications are not a good candidate for Blockchain technology for example building a static website on Blockchain technology is not the right use of the technology."

| "PS: Please READ all the points before proceeding***Composer is NO more supported for Fabric updates*** But it is still a GREAT way to learn Fabric Blockchain fundamentals & for carrying out POC. For production grade apps It is suggested that you take a look at my course ""Mastering Chaincode Development using GoLang ....""Please do NOT join the course if you are NOT comfortable with codingFocus of the course is Composer based application development. Course will NOT teach you how to use ALL the various utilities/tools for hypereldger infrastructure component setup.Course is NOT for Operators or Infrastructure engineers *but* you are welcome to try as it would help you in building a strong foundational knowledge. Take a look at my other Fabric courses if you are an Operations person.You MUST have a basic understanding of Blockchain technology.

Course requires many tools to be installed.Please read the Pre-Requisites before signing upTry out the lectures in preview - if you have difficulty understanding the lectures/accent....I request you NOT to join If you are still with me lets continue :-)BackgroundDemand for Blockchain technologists is going up as multiple enterprises (& startups) are looking to achieve efficiency or/and create new business models enabled by the Blockchain technologies. Bitcoin & Ethereum have proven to the world that Blockchain technologies can change the way we do business. The challenge with these technologies is that they were both built ground up for public domain applications and are not always suitable for building an enterprise grade application. Hyperldger project, a Linux foundation initiative is driven by the industry leaders to build Blockchain technology(s) that would provide a platform for creating Enterprise Blockchain Applications.Business Enterprise Blockchain ApplicationsThe obvious question you may have at this point is, what do I mean by ""Enterprise Blockchain Applications"". The idea is that Blockchain technology for Business (or enterprise) would need to have certain characteristics that do not necessarily apply to the public domain Blockchain technology such as Ethereum. Characteristics that are desiredPermissioning, Network support operationSmart contract managementControl on how transactions are validatedTrust managementScaling, Performance, Throughput...Hyperledger Fabric Composer FrameworkHyperledger Fabric is a ""Distributed Ledger Technology"" a.k.a. Blockchain technology that has been built ground up with the needs of the ""Business Blockchain Applications"" in mind. Composer is a development framework that accelerates the development of Business Blockchain applications of Fabric platform.This course will teach you how to develop Fabtric Blockchain Application using Composer. Course Approach?This course takes the approach of Learn by doing. Students are encouraged to try out all aspects of the technologies on their own after each lecture. Almost all of the concepts discussed in the lectures are shown in action by way code samples etc. The demo code used in the lectures is available for download from GitHub so that students can change the code to try out new things.Multiple quizzes in each section will validate students knowledge.

At this time the focus is on trying out the technologies by way of Proof of Concepts Pilots. This course can put you on track to build the pilots/PoC in a very short period of time (~3 weeks)Information of Hyperledger frabric (& Composer) is available online and freely.....so why take this course?There are known challenges : The author of this course have gone through the development cycle many times and have taken care of describing the known challenges (& pitfalls) and solutions so, students won't struggle....& spend time on learning rather than searching for solutions on google :)Learning curve is steep : Although information is available it would take new students considerable amount of time to digest & understand. The course has been designed to accelerate the learning process without overwhelming the students with too many details.Coding guides experience is limited : For every topic discussed in the course, there is a sample code. Seeing things in action and trying out the code will accelerate the learningTime to market : Taking this course will prepare the student for the challenge - delivery of a working Fabric PoC/Pilot in 3 weeks is the goal :) [Assuming student spends 2 Hour/Day]"

This approach has been adopted to simplify the creation of the Fabric setup for testing & development by beginners. Though this approach is good for beginners it does not enable the users with the knowledge needed for setting up Fabric infrastructure on their own. Users are left on their own to peel the layers and get the feel of the setup.This is a TUTORIAL so please do not expect it to go into the details of the configuration or concepts. For deep dive into Hyperledger Fabric please checkout my other courses.This course takes a native installation approach to ensure that students understand how Fabric is setup at the binary (peer, orderer ...) level not just at the Docker container level. In other words in this tutorials students will work directly with the following Fabric binaries to learn how Fabric networks are created.configtxgenpeerordererfabric-ca-clientfabric-ca-serverCourse uses a tool that author refers to as the ""Fabric Workbench"" which is a tool for learning & experimentation with native (not Docker) Fabric setups.

| "College Spoken Chinese Fast Class Intermediate 2" |
| "I am excited to announce to you that here comes the fourth sequel of College Spoken Chinese Fast Class: the quickest way of learning conversation Chinese. I am an award-winning professor of Chinese for 16 years at prestigious American colleges with two PhDs in Chinese and comparative language and literature. The quickest way of acquiring spoken language is the way we learned a language during our childhood: from mouth to mouth, without any written script. While without an explaining medium language, a baby has to figure out the meaning of the sentences from recurring situations, we, as adult learners, can even further enhance the speed by minimal, explaining medium language (here is English). The sequence of ""College Spoken Chinese Series: The quickest way of learning conversational Chinese"" has four courses. Each course takes you only 4 hours (30-40 minutes each day for the two dialogues of each lesson, you can finish the course in a week), the four courses will allow you to master spoken Chinese included in two year's college Chinese curriculum (without the written character requirement of course) in just 16 hours. You will be able to conduct conversation fluently in all realms of daily life, including greeting, family, time, hobbies, visit friends, make appointment, study Chinese, school life, go shopping, weather, traffic, dining, library, renting apartment, book air ticket, traveling, etc. Not just random teaching of some key sentences in a situation, but full-body real-life conversation that encompasses exactly two year's college Chinese curriculum (based on the same range of vocabulary, grammar and situation dialogues)! This sequence can be for any new-learners of Chinese, but don't mistake it for just new learners! It is immeasurably valuable for those students who have already studied Chinese for years but need to make his pronunciation as accurate, his speech as fluent as native speakers through the teacher's all-talking head videos emphasizing the mouth shape of pronunciation, the correct tone and sentence cadence that you cannot acquire otherwise. This course is the fourth sequel, encompass topics such as ideal location of residence, Chinese schools of cuisine, criteria for purchasing goods, choosing the major, dating and resolution of conflicts, very important topics in daily life. Each dialogue is taught in three lectures. The first lecture will teach you the meaning of each phrase and sentence in the dialogue with the help of medium language---English, but the main emphasis is to lead you speak after me through the whole dialogue as soon as you understand them. During this lecture, you may glance at the printed out PDF of the text with its pinyin text for identifying the sound with my talk-head pronunciation, particularly students who have never studied pinyin and not familiar with Chinese pronunciation. In the second lecture, I will lead you to speak through the text twice and practice the dialogue with you in a new, invented context where we act as two sides speaking the dialogue. The third lecture is an acting video in which you can review your dialogue and speak after me again. I didn't put in pinyin subtitles in the talking head videos, because I think it will distract you from recalling the full sentence you speak after me, instead, you will just spell out the pinyin one by one mechanically, without being able to duplicate the full sentence language out of your memory when you speak after me. After the first lecture, you should not even look at the PDF while speaking after me, you should speak after me like a child learning his first language---from mouth to mouth, observing the mouth shape in pronunciation, imitate the pronunciation and tones as closely as possible, draw from memory the whole sentence structure after you heard it, on the spot. That is how you can maximize the speed of learn spoken language. You will see after four hours, you are able to speak, with near native-speaker accuracy and fluency some major situational dialogues, the content of which a college student has to learn in one full semester (without the written requirement), in five months."

| "Zen Buddhist Stories" |
| "Zen, or Chan Buddhism is a school of Mahayana Buddhism that originated in China during the Tang Dynasty as Chan Buddhism. Zen school was strongly influenced by Taoism and developed as a distinguished school of Chinese Chan Buddhism. From China, Chan Buddhism spread south to Vietnam, northeast to Korea and east to Japan, where it became known as Japanese Zen. The term Zen is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the Middle word (Chan), which traces its roots to the Indian practice of ""meditation. Zen emphasizes rigorous self-control, meditation-practice, Insight into Buddha nature, and the personal expression of this insight in daily life, As such, it de-emphasizes mere knowledge of Sutras and doctrine and favors direct understanding and interaction with an accomplished teacher. As they expressed in the Zen phrase, teach beyond scripture, transmit without words, point directly to human heart, attain instantly to Buddha nature. your fingers are the words, the truth is like the moon, the finger can point to the moon, but is not the moon. It emphasizes the identity of being and vacuity, moment and eternity: Life is between breathing. Ten thousand years void, one mornings wind and moon. It venerate insight into Buddha nature more than ritualistic worship of a Buddha figure, as they expressed, Outside mind, no Buddha, killing the Buddha, killing the patriarch, becoming Buddha and demon is only moment of thought. It talks about annihilating desires to achieve an immobility of heart among the fluctuation of all things: as Six Patriarch expresses it, Neither the flag nor the wind is moving, human heart is moving, The wind passes the bamboo forest, the bamboo retains no sound after it passes; the wild geese flying over the cold lake, the lake does not retain the forms of the geese. Like the Taoist philosopher Zhuang Zi It advocates getting rid of the mentality of making distinction, including the distinction between the self and other, to enter instantly and directly into a situation and react to it most effectively, for example, the wrestler images himself a huge wave becomes an all-sweeping, all-swallowing, invincible fighter. Zens major practice includes observing the breath, observing the mind, Zen Koan, Buddhist chanting etc. Zen koan is an enigmatic, logic-defying method of prompting the disciples to achieve instant enlightenment. It was during the late 1950s and the early 1960s that the number of Westerners other than the descendants of Asian immigrants who were pursuing a serious interest in Zen began to reach a significant level. Japanese Zen has gained the greatest popularity in the West. The various books on Zen by people such as Alan Watts and D. T. Suzuki published between 1950 and 1975, contributed to this growing interest in Zen in the West, as did the interest on the part of beat poets such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Gary Snyder. In 1958, the literary magazine Chicago Review played a significant role in introducing Zen to the American literary community, especially beat poets. The course includes 20 Zen Buddhist Stories, each story is taught in two lectures, mostly Zen Koan in an intensely interesting, enigmatic, iconoclastic, and humorous style used by Zen masters to prompt instant enlightenment in their disciples, the first lectures teaches the language of the Zen story, I will lead you to study the vocabulary list, the text of the story and lead you to recite them, and practice answering questions about the text.

| "Tao Te Ching---the Book of Te" |
| "Hello everyone, welcome to Tao Te Ching--the book of Te: learn the wisdom and language of the most translated Taoist philosopher. Tao Te Ching is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism, and strongly influenced Legalism, Confucianism and Chan Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was interpreted through the use of Taoist concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers and gardeners, have been greatly influenced by Tao Te Ching. Its influence spread widely outside East Asia, and is among the most translated works in world literature, only next to Bible. The passages in Tao Te Ching are ambiguous, with topics ranging from advice for rulers and profound religious experience of cosmic origin of Tao and its application in all realms of life. The book has 81 chapters ,this course teaches the second half of the book: the Book of Te. The central values of Tao Te Ching are: the ineffability of Tao, the privileging of the female attributes, the force of Yin--such as softness, yielding, humility, resilience and non-action effecting all actions. The returning movement as the movement of Tao, the interchangeability of the opposites, political rule with least interference, philosophical and religious experience of vacuity and power of nothingness. It believes that the masters of Tao do nothing, while leave nothing undone. It is only when Tao is lost, that there are the artificial human standards of virtue, benevolence, righteousness and ritual. It believes that the great rulers are like the ocean, residing in a low place, and through its humility all states flow down and gather to it without resorting to military force and coesive measures. Tao Te Ching has been translated into Western languages over 250 times, its cryptic and poetic language is a famous puzzle which everyone would like to resolve. It exerted a profound influence on western philosophies: its dialects formed Leibniz' and Hegelian dialectics, and influenced Schopenhauer and Nietzsche's opposition of the world of ideal and the world of the will. Many western thinkers, upon the disaster of the First World war and the contemplation of the ruins of western civilization, had looked upon Lao Zi's ideal of rulership in the vein ""performing non-action to achieve all action"" and freedom from state greed and violence as a welcoming antidote to the ruins of western civilization. In learning the course, print out the PDF of Tao Te Ching text in the introduction chapter, and with it in hand, study the selected chapters in the following lectures (because there is no subtitle of the text in the video). For each lecture, I will explain word by word the meaning of the classical Chinese text, and then I will explain to you the philosophical implication of these texts, often comparing it with other schools of Chinese philosophies. Finally I will lead you to read the text twice so that you can recite and memorize them."

| "Faith Mind Inscription" |
| "Hello, everyone, welcome to the course: Faith Mind Inscription: Study the language and wisdom of sacred Zen Buddhist text. Faith Mind Inscription was written by the third patriarch of Zen Buddhist school, Sengcan. It has been much beloved by Chan (Zen) practitioners for over a thousand years. It is still well studied in Western Zen circles. Xinxin"" has commonly been interpreted as ""faith"" or ""trust."" It is regarded as a departure from the traditional view of seeking refuge in the three jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. It is a declaration and poetic polemic of the Chan (Zen) school written as a response to the increasingly popular movement of faith in Amitaba Buddha known as Pure Land Buddhism. From the Chan/Zen point of view, Buddha and Mind are one () (see the Platform Sutra of Six Patriarch ()), as expressed in Mazus famous dictum ""Mind is Buddha"". Thus, faith in outward Buddhas is contrary to the goal of Buddhism, because the goal of Zen Buddhism is the direct experience of enlightenment. This can only be attained by having faith in Mind Buddha himself did. Another reading of the text allows that Xinxin could be understood as the Truthful Mind, which is always ready and perfect, implying that there is no need to further ""perfect"" it. From the Chan/Zen view, the true mind is perfect as it is and only false views obscure the true mind's inherent perfection. As the text states, ""Any degeneration of your previous practice on emptiness arises because of false perspectives. There is really no need to go after the Truth but there is indeed a need to extinguish biased views."" ( ) Moreover, the passage explicitly warns against losing the original, true mind (): ""Do not dwell in the two biased views. Make sure you do not pursue. The moment you think about right and wrong, that moment you unwittingly lose your true mind."" ( ) As an early expression of Chan Buddhism, the Inscription on Faith in Mind reveals the Buddhist missionary use of expedient means in China by adapting Taoist terminology to the Buddhist context of awakening. It also draws on the Wisdom Sutra as well as the Avatamssaka Sutra and Lankavatara Sutra to express the essential unity of opposites and the basic nature of emptiness. The poem professes the need to take pleasant and unpleasant life experiences with a sense of equanimity. Broadly speaking, the Xinxin Ming deals with the principles and practice of non duality. The world is non-dualistic, therefore in our attitude towards things in this world, we should not grasp or loathe things, but accept all things in their totality, exert no individual will on things. Any aversion or attachment will throw us into the realm of demon; non-attachment, following the flow of Nature will bring us to heaven. Heaven and Hell are only a moments thought. Tao resides in the large as much as in the small, in the infinite and the infinitesimal. Void and Being are one, so dont be fixated on the notion of emptiness and not see the beauty of small things around you, nor pursue delusory desires without seeing the emptiness beneath all things. One and many are the same: One is embodied in many; Each of the many manifests the One. When you dont allow human desires, artificial judgement and the mentality of making division to disrupt Nature, you will see Nature in its totality and oneness, see things in themselvesone suchness---rather than things as perceived. In such perception of oneness, you will be free from the volatile circumstances, and see rest in motion, permanence in change. Outside mind, no Buddha, enlightenment and Buddha state can be reached in this life, at this moment, beyond the teaching of scripture and beyond words, when such enlightenment is suddenly reached, there is no past, present or future, rather, you achieved Eternal Now at this moment, in this life, as Buddha said, how long is human life. Life is between your breathing. Zen Buddhist enlightenment often comes when our usual sense of time and space collapses. This course teaches the language and the wisdom of the inscription in eight parts, each part contains 8-12 stanzas of the poem. Each part is taught in two lectures, the first lecture teaches the language of the text, explains in English the text word by word, and explains the philosophical implication, and leads you to read the text. The second lecture is a talking head video reviewing the teaching of the language and religious meaning of this part of the text, so that you would be further familiarized with the language of this famous inscription and deepen your understanding of it. You will find your Chinese language and understanding of the gist of Zen Buddhism enhanced together with your study of this cryptic, condensed, canonized Zen Buddhist text that have stood the test of time for more than a thousand years and is still extremely active in both Eastern and Western Zen Buddhist circles."
