Ethereum Montreal Coding Session and Updates

Hey Ethereum Devs and Enthusiasts, Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Now that we’re back into the rhythm of our schedules, ETHMontreal is pleased to announce its next meetup: 6pm February 12th at DESJARDINS Lab. In this session, and several future sessions, we’ll be focussing primarily on developing basic Ethereum coding skills by collectively building a smart contract and decentralized application over the course of multiple meetups. These workshops and events will provide participants with the groundwork and skills to start building ethereum applications, and will provide the basic skills for participating in upcoming Ethereum Hackathons. ETHMontreal coding sessions are intended to be as inclusive as possible, and do not presume previous coding experience; you just need to bring a willing desire to learn and actively participate in building smart contracts. Experienced developers, of course, are also strongly encouraged to attend.   Agenda:  Introduction (Catherine and Ethan)  Ethereum Updates  Demo:  Better.Place, by Farhaan Ladhani Coding Tutorial w/ Olivier Brochu Dufour:  Introduction to Solidity and smart contract theory  Write an Escrow Contract in Solidity  Q&A  Networking Special thanks to our event space host and sponsor, Desjardins Lab.
