Design, architect, and build Blockchain applications with Azure in industrial scenarios to revolutionize conventional processes and data security. This book will empower you to build better decentralized applications that have stronger encryption, better architectures, and effective deployment structures over the cloud.
You'll start with an overview of Blockchain, distributed networks, Azure components in Blockchain, such as Azure Workbench, and independent Blockchain-as-a-service solutions. Next, you'll move on to aspects of Blockchain transactions where the author discusses encryption and distribution along with practical examples. You'll cover permissioned Blockchains and distributed ledgers with the help of use cases of financial institutions, followed by code and development aspects of smart contracts. Here, you will learn how to utilise the templates provided by Azure Resource Manager to quickly develop an Ethereum-based smart contract.
Further, you will go through Blockchain points of integration, where the author demonstrates enterprise integration, automated processing of smart contracts, and lifecycle events. Finally, you will go through every deployment of HyperLedger, Ethereum, and other decentralized ledger examples over Azure, thus understanding the elements of creation, design, development, security, and deployment.
After reading Unlocking Blockchain on Azure you will be able to design and develop Blockchain applications in Azure to decentralize social networks, financial organisations, and data. You'll be able to implement encryption over a Blockchain and have full control over shared instances digitally. You will be able to program smart contracts to digitize rules and trigger timely transactions.
What You Will Learn

Build decentralized applications
Program, design, and deploy dynamic smart contracts
Model Blockchains in the form of token economics, hybrid networks, and infrastructure
Develop end-to-end encryption and distributed systems

Who This Book Is For

Developers and solutions architects who want to develop Blockchain applications in Azure and decentralize applications in different scenarios.

設計、架構並建構在工業場景中使用 Azure 的區塊鏈應用程式，以徹底改變傳統流程和數據安全性。本書將使您能夠構建更好的去中心化應用程式，這些應用程式具有更強的加密、更好的架構和有效的雲端部署結構。

您將從區塊鏈的概述開始，了解分散式網絡、Azure 在區塊鏈中的組件，例如 Azure Workbench，以及獨立的區塊鏈即服務解決方案。接下來，您將進入區塊鏈交易的各個方面，作者將討論加密和分發，並提供實際範例。您將涵蓋有權限的區塊鏈和分散式帳本，並借助金融機構的使用案例，隨後探討智能合約的程式碼和開發方面。在這裡，您將學習如何利用 Azure Resource Manager 提供的模板快速開發基於以太坊的智能合約。

此外，您將了解區塊鏈的整合點，作者將展示企業整合、自動化處理智能合約和生命週期事件。最後，您將了解在 Azure 上每個 HyperLedger、以太坊和其他去中心化帳本範例的部署，從而理解創建、設計、開發、安全性和部署的要素。

閱讀《Unlocking Blockchain on Azure》後，您將能夠在 Azure 中設計和開發區塊鏈應用程式，以去中心化社交網絡、金融組織和數據。您將能夠在區塊鏈上實施加密，並對共享實例進行全面的數位控制。您將能夠編程智能合約，以數位化規則並觸發及時交易。

您將學到的內容：

- 建立去中心化應用程式
- 程式設計、設計和部署動態智能合約
- 以代幣經濟學、混合網絡和基礎設施的形式建模區塊鏈
- 開發端到端加密和分散式系統

本書適合對象：

希望在 Azure 中開發區塊鏈應用程式並在不同場景中去中心化應用程式的開發人員和解決方案架構師。
