▶What this book covers
The book's goal is to illustrate the capabilities of the blockchain and show how these can be applied across the Oracle Red Stack. The book will introduce concepts and technologies that will allow you to implement your own blockchain in an Oracle environment. It will not go into the technical details of implementing and setting up your own private blockchain, but it will touch upon the basics. The book also covers five major industries, and it will provide examples of how the blockchain is used for projects in these industries. It will also help guide you as to where more information can be found, as a single volume can't possibly cover every aspect of the technology behind blockchain.
The book has been divided into four parts as follows:
⦁Part I covers the implications of the blockchain across industries that use Oracle and serve as high-level overviews of what is to follow. The chapters in Part I are for people who want to learn about the key concepts of the blockchain, how it affects current Oracle projects, and which industries will benefit the most from implementing the blockchain.
⦁Part II addresses the core blockchain concepts and terminology in detail. By the time you read through the chapters in Part II, you will have a solid understanding of the technology behind blockchain.
⦁Part III covers the use of blockchain as a replacement for tradition crossorganizational (B2B) applications by helping you to set up and run your own consortium/private blockchain.
⦁Part IV describes use cases across five major industries. The last chapter of this part will address future industry directions.
