Dallas College offers a noncredit curriculum on topics related to Web 3.0 and blockchain development.
A blockchain is a distributed, cryptographically secure database structure that allows network participants to establish a trusted and immutable record of transactional data without the need for intermediaries. A blockchain can execute a variety of functions beyond transaction settlement, such as smart contracts. Anyone in the network can add data and it cannot be deleted or altered further. Usually, the blockchain stores the data in terms of blocks. Those blocks are linked together like a chain and encrypted for security.
Web 3.0 is the next generation of internet technology that relies heavily on machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). It aims to create open, connected and intelligent websites and web applications, which utilize a machine-based understanding of data. Using AI and advanced machine learning techniques, Web 3.0 provides more personalized and relevant information at a faster rate. In Web 3.0, an ocean of information is available to websites and applications, and they can understand and use that data in a way that is meaningful to individual users.
