Which track is best suited for someone interested in blockchain technology?

I am really interested in crypto-currencies and how they work, I know Ethereum uses a language similar to Java and that Bitcoin is written in C++. Can someone suggest a track that would compliment blockchain studies.

Hi Charles, if you want to learn how to write smart contract then I would advise using Javascript track. Ethereums main language is Solidity and it is based on JavaScript not JAVA. https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/develop/ there you will find some useful information about the language.

Hope this is helpful.

It will really be great if team tree house instructors start building courses on solidity or smart contract programming. Other providers aren't doing a great job teaching them.
