Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is sailing under false colors. It's not a book about computer algorithms or data structures. It's a how-to for people who want to use bitcoin for themselves. It doesn't explain how it works, just what to do to sign up to use it.

There are many books and resources on internet on Blockchain and its applications. This book by Tiana Laurence has the right balance between readability and clear exposition and technical details. Further, it provides useful links to resources on internet and step-by-step guide to how to use many of these resources. I teach a class on Blockcahin applications to MBA students at UCLA Anderson. Will recommend this book to my students.

Blockchain in plain English -- Honest

March 13, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I was looking for a plain English explanation of blockchain. This is it. The whole blockchain/distributed ledger concept is not only very complicated, the idea behind it is foreign to even high-adopters of technology. Even though Tiana is a very smart lady who's an expert on this subject, she answers your questions in the book in a logical order and provides plenty of application examples. I'm pretty sure I've purchased at least a dozen of this book and sent them to friends and colleagues. Unless you could almost write your own book on blockchain, I recommend you start your education here. And by the way, being a blockchain "dummy" is nothing to be ashamed of. Believe me, you're in good company. Good luck.

Solid Introduction to an Emerging Technology

August 31, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is an excellent introduction to the Blockchain, as well as some of the main associated crypto currencies. I have to be honest, however, and admit that I don't understand about a third of it, which makes me feel bad in light of the title of this series. In any event, if you want to learn about how blockchain technology is being developed and how it will be used in the future, this is a good place to start. It's written in such a way so that the reader can easily skip over parts that are either too technical or not of interest. The series is also a bit expensive, hence 4 stars instead of 5.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The introductory chapter does a horrible job at explaining how blockchains work. A couple of algorithm types are mentioned without giving insight as to what the general functions of the algorithms are. As a huge fan of Wiley's books for Dummies (I taught myself Calculus and Statistics via their books), I have to say that I have been severely let down by the content of this book.

Crap of a book. You can get all the information in this book by just searching blockchain and its applications in google. Dont waste your money on this.
