This workshop is intended for the professional developer interested in learning the essentials of Smart Contract development using Solidity. Solidity's syntax is similar to Javascript, and we'll be developing a fairly basic Hello World application, so polyglots with depth in at least one or two languages should be able to fare well here. You should also be comfortable with setting up an environment on your machine - whether it's OSX, Linux, or Windows.

The deliverables we hope to help you achieve during the two hours:

Get a solidity environment up and running Build a hello world smart contract / or your own (Time Dependent) Demonstrate use of your smart contract through a Javascript app of your own Read/write to Bluzelle's Decentralized Database via a Solidity Smart Contract Bonus: Find a problem with a smart contract that we show you

Requirements:

+ Bring your own laptop + charger!

+ TBD: We'll be messaging attendees with the appropriate tools and versions they need to install prior



Light food / non-alchoholic beverages will be provided.
