Intro to Blockchain App Development - Online Workshop

These days, many businesses find themselves in need of digital transparency, customers’ trust, and liability, which blockchain technology can provide. As digital transactions gain more momentum in the coming years, blockchain-based apps will continue to grow in popularity.

If this prospect intrigues you, and you want to know how to start developing blockchain apps, join us on Apr 14th for the interactive workshops with Jeff Wentworth, a co-founder at blockchain middleware startup Curvegrid. Prior to launching his company in Tokyo, Jeff spent six years at Goldman Sachs as a Vice President and global product owner of block and object storage.

From the $69M auction of Beeple’s artwork at Christie’s, to the vastly oversubscribed NBA Top Shots collectibles, Non-fungible tokens (NFTs or Niftys) are booming. What are they, how do they work, and why do they matter? We’ll answer these questions as we build an NFT on the blockchain and explore some of the issues around this emerging technology

Agenda:

✔️ Introduction to blockchain
✔️ NFTs and why they matter
✔️ Smart contracts: computer programs on the blockchain
✔️ NFT smart contract build-along with the web-based Remix IDE
✔️ What the future holds: reducing climate impact, improving usability, and long term prospects

Pre-requisites:

✔️ Basic programming knowledge and keen interest to learn
✔️ Desktop web browser for smart contract programming build-along
✔️ No prior knowledge of blockchain is required
