We are happy to run our workshop in the following city across Europe (Dublin, Edinburgh, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Frankfurt, Vienna, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Rome, Prague, Hungary) and beyond. Due to popular demand and positive feedback from our students we are running a series of workshop. Recently, we received several request to provide our workshop in various location across Europe and beyond. With this in mind, we are advertising this event on here to gather interest from regular application developers who are keen to break into the Blockchain space. Join our two-day Blockchain Developer hands-on workshop and be at the very forefront of this new technology. Our workshop consists of topics that all future Blockchain Developers must know and we incorporate plenty of hands-on development sessions. Our goal is to help regular Application Developers become Blockchain Developers. Day 1 Intro to Blockchains, Bitcoin and Byzantine Fault Tolerant Networks Intro to Ethereum and Smart Contracts Hands-on development on Ethereum Solidity and Smart Contracts Day 2 Smart Contracts Security and Ethereum Internals - Cryptography, Consensus, EVM, Privacy Intro to Formal Verification What to know as a Blockchain Developer Hands-on development on Ethereum Solidity and Smart Contracts One month of continued on-line support via a dedicated Gitter channel After the workshop, we hope our students will continue coding, learning and exploring the Ethereum platform, and in good time, we hope our students will have the opportunity to work professionally in the Blockchain space. With this in mind, to help our students succeed, we are providing a dedicated Gitter channel after the workshop where our students have up to a month to ask further questions in relation to Ethereum, smart contracts etc. Recommended development experience Minimum of 6 months development experience is recommended We have a great line up of trainers that will help you break into the Blockchain space.

He has worked in many different areas, from hardware, embedded and kernel programming, to data mining, analytics, and network / systems programming. He first started learning programming at 12 years old, and is completely self taught, both on the practical side of programming, and on the theoretical side of computer science, mathematics, and cryptography. Matthew was first exposed to Bitcoin in late 2010 due to his interest in information security, as Bitcoin was first mainly used on darknets/Silk Road, and got fully involved in the Blockchain space around the time Ethereum started to exist - beginning his foray while living with Vitalik Buterin and long time friend Vlad Zamfir (Creator of Ethereum's Casper Protocol) in London for a few months. Matthew currently works as a Technical Lead at Clearmatics, developing Blockchain Technology for financial use cases. In his free time, Matthew works on personal hardware projects, gives Information Security and Blockchain related talks at various events, and organise one of the largest monthly Information Security events in the North-West.

Matthew will be introducing developers to the way the Blockchain works technically, and what its potential applications could be. He will cover the workings and history of the Bitcoin Blockchain, as well as Ethereum and its concept of smart contracts that allow Turing complete code to execute on a virtual machine on the Blockchain. Matthew will also talk about Smart Contracts Security and Ethereum Internals. He will discuss the most important areas to know as a Blockchain Developer. Matthew will hold a Q&A session after each topic.

In addition to giving talks, mentoring at hackathons, and running groups about Blockchain Technology, Laurence also organise Artificial Intelligence and Data Science groups in Oxford. During the workshop, Laurence will be teaching Solidity (an object-oriented programming language for writing smart contracts) from the simplest smart contract up to interacting with a web application. The focus is very much the practical techniques that are needed when developing on Ethereum. The sessions will be very hands on, encouraging students to practice and explore Ethereum and raise any questions students might have regarding the Ethereum platform.
