| Immersive Weeklong Bootcamp Build out a Decentralized Application in Solidity from start to finish! Delve into the inner workings of the Ethereum Blockchain, build your own smart contracts in Solidity, interact with them in your own customized decentralized applications, and walk away with industry-standard experience that allows you to build your own solutions in the Blockchain space! This is a special weekend course consisting of the first 2 Solidity filled days of our Blockchain Professional Developer Bootcamp.  Experience curriculum that has been vetted by notable CTOs and Blockchain developers within our network, ensuring that participants leave our bootcamp with the knowledge and tools required to get hired at Blockchain-focused companies. The result is a cohesive bootcamp experience that empowers developers to make the most of this exciting new technology.  Start with the basics, and work your way through hands-on coding sessions, collaborative projects, and a concluding hackathon to master the intricacies of building products in a decentralized programming environment. Interact directly with the Ethereum blockchain and walk away with functional projects you can continue to develop and showcase on your resume.  Upon completion, participants also earn our Solidity Developer Certification and gain access to our growing Alumni Support System of CTOs at Blockchain companies, hiring partners, and industry contacts. | Audience: This bootcamp is designed to give individuals with little to no experience in Solidity and Smart Contract programming all of the tools, resources, and hands-on experience they need to deploy functional Decentralized applications. Previous development experience is highly recommended, especially in OOP languages like Python, Java, and Javascript. | Agenda (Saturday-Sunday, 10AM-5PM): Day 1 - Foundations of the Ethereum Network - Introduction to Etheruem, gas, and Blockchain essentials - Learn how to deploy a Smart Contract - and deploy a lot of them - Utilize Remix/MetaMask/Mist - Project: Launch your own ICO Token and trade with the group- and more Day 2 - Let's Build Something - Add functional components to your Smart Contract- Discuss different Blockchains & Interfaces - Real world project: Build an RFID Reader- and more | About Your Instructor: Gurinder (Sonu) Bhangoo has been heavily involved in Cryptocurrencies since he mined his first Bitcoin transaction in 2013. Currently, he is both the CTO of The DEN & Director of Blockchain Technology at REV, who have developed a Ride-sharing app that utilizes a forked Ethereum Blockchain. His first Blockchain presentation was held at the Sunnyvale Plug & Play Tech Center back in 2014. His knowledge of multiple Blockchains is invaluable for people who are trying to cut through the noise in this rapidly growing industry. He is actively developing two Mobile DApps “BlockSteps” & “MarketMe”, which are both built on the Ethereum Blockchain. Gurinder’s teaching philosophy is simple - encouraging student engagement and providing real-world examples to help his peers learn faster and more efficiently than they would in a traditional education style.    | When does the class meet?
