In January's edition of our Hedera Virtual Meetup, we're going dive deeper into some of the most popular tools in a Hedera developer's toolkit. Cooper, Hedera's Developer Evangelist, will take us through a demo of the Hedera JavaScript SDK and building a simple website that uses multiple Hedera network services.



In this informative presentation, OpenCrowd’s DragonGlass team will show you how to quickly develop a real-world dApp on Hedera Hashgraph with the help of our set of prebuilt REST APIs. Viewers will learn how to submit and deploy transactions through smart contracts on Hedera, how to subscribe to events within DragonGlass, and how to retrieve historical Hedera data directly from DragonGlass to utilize in their dapps.



Please register for the meetup in advance!
