Useful resources for a blockchain I gathered as a newcomer
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>One of my hobbies is to choose a subject and dig into it as much as I can by reading technical articles, books, and watching videos. I just got into a new job, and part of my role is researching blockchain for the R&D department. </p> <p>The blockchain world is pretty new to me, and I found the amount of information overwhelming. There's so much to know, so many different companies, ideas, terminology, history (yes, for a newcomer, the blockchain world seems like an old-world I'm telling you). Over the past three weeks, I read tons of useful info online, some of it is useful for my company, and some of it helped me understand blockchain better. I made a list of some of the articles I found helpful. I found many more articles and resources, but here are the ones I liked the most:</p> <p>· <a href="https://andersbrownworth.com/blockchain/">Blockchain demo [video]</a></p> <p>· <a href="https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook">Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos</a></p> <p>· <a href="https://github.com/xel/blockchain-stuff">Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Resources</a></p> <p>· <a href="https://blockstream.com/sidechains.pdf">Enabling Blockchain Innovations with Pegged Sidechains</a></p> <p>· <a href="https://hackernoon.com/learn-blockchains-by-building-one-117428612f46">Learn Blockchains by Building One</a></p> <p>· <a href="https://tonyarcieri.com/on-the-dangers-of-a-blockchain-monoculture">On the dangers of a blockchain monoculture</a></p> <p>· <a href="http://blockchain.mit.edu/how-blockchain-works">How Blockchain Works</a></p> <p>· <a href="https://magoo.github.io/Blockchain-Graveyard/">Blockchain Graveyard</a></p> <p>· <a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-does-blockchain-really-work-i-built-an-app-to-show-you-6b70cd4caf7d/">How does blockchain really work?
