Overview of this book

Hyperledger is an open-source project and creates private blockchain applications for a range of domains. This book will be your desk reference as you explore common and not-so-common challenges faced while building blockchain networks using Hyperledger services. We'll work through all Hyperledger platform modules to understand their services and features and build end-to-end blockchain applications using various frameworks and tools supported by Hyperledger. This book's independent, recipe-based approach (packed with real-world examples) will familiarize you with the blockchain development cycle. From modeling a business network to integrating with various tools, you will cover it all. We'll cover common and not-so-common challenges faced in the blockchain life cycle. Later, we'll delve into how we can interact with the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain, covering all the principles you need to master, such as chaincode, smart contracts, and much more. We'll also address the scalability and security issues currently faced in blockchain development. By the end of this book, you will be able to implement each recipe to plan, design, and create a full-fledged, private, decentralized application to meet organizational needs.

Preface

Hyperledger is an umbrella project of modular open source frameworks and tools for building and experimenting with blockchains. The Hyperledger Cookbook provides hands-on experiences and in-depth illustrations covering the full spectrum of Hyperledger offerings. You will not only learn a range of permissioned business blockchain technologies, including Fabric, Sawtooth, Burrow, Iroha, and Indy, but also a set of tools to work with these blockchain frameworks, including Composer, Explorer, and Caliper.

Each chapter contains a set of recipes that helps the reader to become more familiar with Hyperledger blockchain and its tools. The examples in this book will help readers to apply Hyperledger technologies to their own problems.
