01 / ABOUT THIS SESSION

Bitcoin has roundly entered the public consciousness, but it is limited in its use beyond the specific constraints of the cryptocurrency. Ethereum is a new platform that has enabled developers to innovate in creating their own cryptocurrencies, platforms, smart contracts and more.

This talk will introduce the larger concepts of blockchains and decentralized applications as well as details on how to build running applications on the Ethereum platform.

These ideas and tools will help innovators disrupt organizations, markets, entire industries and even aspects of society. It's sounds like science fiction, but these thing are already happening. Come learn how.

We will cover:

The basics of Bitcoin and blockchains
Smart contracts
The Solidity Contract Language
Setting up Ethereum clients
Running private networks for development and testing
Sample Decentralized Applications (DApps)
