The demand for blockchain expertise is multifold, the myth that the demand is for “developers” is false.. If your a developer and know Node.js, PHP, etc then your in great shape to hop on over to the blockchain world..

However, if your not a developer there is still plenty of room for you on the blockchain such as a blockchain architect or blockchain analyst. Companies have increasing placed as part of their job requirements some level of blockchain knowledge.

What to Expect of the CEBA Certification Content

Below is a short review of the course materials and what you need to know to pass the certification.

1. You were tested on the basics of blockchain such as how blocks are written, what a nonce is, permission based and permissionless blockchains,etc.

2. You were tested on blockchain use cases and how to success put together a whiteboard/proof of concept for a prospective customer. Review uses cases to help understand why a smart contract could be used.

3. You were expected to know the basics of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Hyperledger. I did not see anything on R3 Corda, Quantum, etc. Know discussion points for using Hyperledger over Ethereum and vice versa. Uses cases and technical merits are important to know for the exam.

4. The exam matched to what you should expect as a “pre sales” architect role should need to know.. As one who had previous roles in a pre sales mode selling millions in data storage solutions this would be the exact level an integrator or vendor should need. As a pre sales engineer you need to be able to understand the customer business requirements and translate them into a technical solution.

For example should the customer use a permission bases or permissionless blockchain based on their budget, infrastructure or performance requirements?

6. Know what some of the consensus algos are deeply…. Be able to identify Proof of Work, Proof of Stake, etc. Be able to compare and contrast PoW vs PoS… Be really good at this…

7. Understand the BFT… No its not a dance..Byzantine Fault Tolerance and why that was important issue to solve.

8. Know that tokens and coins can add value to a blockchain but are not critical to a blockchain especially if its a permissioned. Hyperledger does not have a native coin or token but you need to know how you can use Hyperledger as a use case.

9. Smart Contracts… ERC20 and ERC721…. Must know…Study this area if you not confident. So what is fungible and what is not…..

10. Terminology.. Know your terms such as ledgers, centralized vs decentralized, imutable and mutable, distributed, etc….

11. Get to know the Ethereum specific IDEs, programs, browsers, testnets etc. Mist, Remix, Ganache, Truffle..

12. When it comes to development know what a persona is, guiding principle and use stories.
