FREE ONE DAY Advanced Ethereum under the hood Blockchain Developer Workshop
20 Oct - 09:30 AM
London, United Kingdom
Work on Blockchain are pleased to invite you to attend our #2nd edition of our intensive one-day blockchain developer workshop focusing on Ethereum internals with Nethermind in the beautiful King’s College London Strand campus on Saturday 20th of October, 2018.
We were over subscribed from our #1st advanced workshop where we had 50 registrations. Don’t wait until last minute, we have limited space so sign up early!
Sponsors required!
In order to keep running this workshop for free, we are looking for sponsors. Please inquire by sending an email to antonio@theblockchainconnector.com
Ethereum internal workshop with Nethermind:
In this workshop you will learn how Ethereum works under the hood. If you ever wondered how EVM executes smart contracts code or how the Ethereum account data is stored in the database then this workshop is for you.
We will cover a broad range of topics including block and transaction data, signatures, mining with ethash, devp2p (network protocol) and private networks. You will learn how to setup a private Ethereum network using Nethermind to run network nodes. Nethermind is an open source Ethereum client which you can use to setup blockchain in your organization. We are building a community of .NET Core developers building enterprise tools for Ethereum.
Requirements:
To be able to participate you will need to bring a laptop (or desktop if you prefer) with the newest version of IDE (JetBrains Rider or Visual Studio) and .NET Core 2.1 SDK installed. You can use Ubuntu, Windows or Mac OS
You are expected to be fluent (or willing to be fluent) in C#. If you have only worked with .NET Framework before and not with .NET Core then do not worry – the platform is new but tools and libraries are mostly the same.
This is an advanced workshop, hence you should already have a working knowledge of Ethereum and blockchain technology in general.
What will you learn?
During the workshop you will setup your own private Ethereum network (and choose your own consensus protocol). You will write a smart contract in byte code and analyse its execution on your own network.
What next?
If after workshop you are hungry for more you can contribute to the open source Nethermind project on github. Nethermind is still under development and there are parts of Ethereum protocol that still need to be looked at. This is a great opportunity to get a deep understanding of blockchain, Ethereum and / or .NET Core.
Would you like to experiment with Nethermind ahead of the workshop or need help installing the tools?
Please drop us a line on contact@workonblockchain.com
Do not miss this FREE one-day blockchain developer workshop. This type of workshop would normally cost over £1000.
We will end the day by going for drinks and dinner with the class from 18:00 near the venue.

BLOCKCHAIN: ESSENTIALS IN DESIGNING & DEVELOPING BLOCKCHAIN PRODUCTS
15 Oct - 09:00 AM
London, United Kingdom
This course is about Blockchain and how to design and develop DApps using Blockchain technologies. Blockchain is a technology that is transforming how people, products, services and organisations interact, transact and audit using a secure and encrypted ecosystem. There is a seismic shift underway using Blockchain technology that is impacting markets, sectors and broader global economic activity.
Blockchain is well known as the supporting technology for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but few people understand its use and full potential in other applications and services. Blockchain has already disrupted the monetary exchange system and how we securely exchange data, audit, transact, and verify authenticity. Blockchain is now disrupting every sector from banking to health to media. It is impacting and changing sectors that depend on security, transaction, value-in-use, data exchange, auditing, engagement and trust.
Global experts, technologists and innovators continue to discover new and novel uses for a technology platform originally used for cryptocurrencies and already the nascent uses of blockchains are having a profound impact in the way we design and develop products and services.
About This Course
In this course you will learn the essentials of the blockchain, the technology, the concept of the distrubuted ledger and the different opensource platforms, technologies and SDKs that can be used to develop new products and services.
This 5 day design bootcamp and hackathon will give you a chance to learn about blockchain and to develop a business idea that you can then pitch.
Using proven design thinking techniques we show you how to use and apply design thinking principles that are vital in the development of desirable, feasible and viable products using the Blockchain.
We’ll work with you to take an initial concept, and using Blockchain technology, you'll develop a Minimal Viable Product (MVP). You’ll learn how to design and develop your MVP and then develop a pitch to raise funding and garner resources and support as you scale.
Take Aways
A fundamental and practical understanding of how blockchain works, and its potential impact on services, business and the economy.
How to develop a blockchain product and service.
An understanding of the basic blockchain technologies, SDKs and opensource resources available.

Learn how to navigate a Blockchain infrastructure and understand the technological building blocks of a blockchain stack.
Understand and apply the principles and practices of Lean Start-Up development.
Understand and apply the principles and practices of Human Centred Design and Design Thinking.
A certificate of attendance from the IXSD Academy; a respected testament of your enhanced skills and design thinking abilities.
Why do this course?
We teach the core concepts of designing products and services using Blockchain. In this course you’ll learn how to take and apply Design Thinking and Lean Start-Up approaches in the use of Blockchain technology in business.
We teach collaborative practices and how to use tried-and-tested tools. This course will give you a working knowledge of blockchain in different sectors and how to bring a product, service or business idea to life in projects that demand teams unleash their expertise by working collaboratively to deal with complex product and service design challenges using Blockchain.
