This course is designed for developers and project managers who wish to explore Blockchain technology within their products and projects. It provides foundational knowledge on setting up your own blockchain network using IBM Bluemix.

Please note: Due to limited learning options and the fact that everything is pre-configured on Bluemix, this platform is primarily used for college students. In corporate scenarios, we will utilise AWS instances or virtual machines to establish a complete Hyperledger Fabric environment from scratch, thereby accelerating the practical, hands-on learning experience for participants.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network infrastructure that wirelessly connects physical objects and software applications, enabling them to communicate with one another and exchange data through network communications, cloud computing, and data capture.

Your engineers are the architects of the digital transformation journey for your clients. This proposal outlines a 3-Day Technical Deep Dive designed specifically for developers and technical architects. We move beyond the "why" and focus on the "how": how to architect decentralised ledgers, how to write secure Smart Contracts for Supply Chain Finance (SCF) logic, and how to integrate these decentralised layers with existing enterprise ERPs.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Architect DLT Solutions: Distinguish between and select the appropriate Layer-1/Layer-2 solutions (Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, Polygon) for enterprise SCF use cases.
• Develop Smart Contracts: Write, compile, and deploy Smart Contracts (e.g. Solidity or Chaincode) that automate factoring, invoice approval, and settlement.
• Implement Tokenisation: Engineer the ERC-20/ERC-721/ERC-1155 token standards to represent real-world assets (invoices/inventory) on-chain.
• Bridging Web2 & Web3: Design the integration layer using Oracles (e.g. Chainlink) to fetch off-chain data (logistics APIs) to trigger on-chain payments.
