Before you enroll

Separate the technical curriculum from claims about asset prices or investment returns. Platforms, security practices and regulation change, so check the age of examples. Use a local development environment or test network for exercises involving transactions.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Compare a fictional shared-record problem with a conventional database alternative and explain the tradeoffs.
