ZUG, Switzerland – 22 July, 2020 – Bitcoin Association, the Switzerland-based global industry organization that works to advance business on the Bitcoin SV blockchain, today announces the formation and launch of a Bitcoin SV Developer Zone in partnership with Chinese Software Developer Network (CSDN). The Zone will provide their 31 million users a dedicated open learning platform to learn about working on the Bitcoin SV blockchain.
CSDN is the largest IT and software developer community in China, with a top 30 Alexa Global ranking. To educate developers about different technology platforms and programming languages, it works with more than 1,000 business partners – including world-leading enterprises including Amazon Web Services, Baidu, Google, Huawei, IBM, Microsoft, and Tencent. CSDN’s large user base and industry network will help Bitcoin Association quickly distribute Bitcoin SV information across China.
The Bitcoin SV Developer Zone on CSDN will host a range of Chinese language educational resources for developers interested in developing for or working with the blockchain. Catering to all experience levels, the Zone will publish content suitable for novices taking their first steps into learning about blockchain technology, right through to expert developers looking to diversify their skillset and even learn to become a “Bitcoin script engineer” – an anticipated new job category made possible in the Bitcoin SV ecosystem.
An ongoing stream of new video content and written materials will be produced exclusively by Bitcoin Association and CSDN for the Bitcoin SV Developer Zone, with twice-weekly online lectures and presentations set to commence from July 28.
The Bitcoin SV Developer Zone is live on CSDN at: https://bsv.csdn.net
