What It Prepares You For
At the end of this course you will have a strong understanding of four Hyperledger open source identity projects – Indy, Aries, AnonCreds, and Ursa – including the tools, libraries, and reusable components they provide for creating and using independent digital identities rooted on blockchains or other distributed ledgers. You will also understand the possibilities they offer for building applications on a solid digital foundation of trust and examine how these technologies can make the Internet safe.

The information was presented in "layers", with the early chapters on the entire architecture and roles of each of the components at a high level, then a logical break down for each individual component. The "conversational" writing style was also appreciated.

It is a nice introductory course to SSI and the Hyperledger projects. Having had a SSI introduction, I still learned some bits and pieces from most of the chapters. There are lots of real-world examples, which show the possible applications nicely, and highlight the potential of the technology. That the course is accessible to people without a technical background, is a further positive feature.

I think this course is really good in trying to provide all related information of a subject topic without too much unnecessary technicalities.
