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.  Stay in the loop! If you’d like to stay in the loop with all the updates we are constantly shipping, go ahead and subscribe for our private mailing list at Work on Blockchain sign up page. We will be hosting multiple hackathons, coding workshops and regular technical deep dives. Stay tuned!
