Break into the Blockchain space! Hands-on Blockchain Developer Workshop.
21 Apr - 10:00 AM
Strand, United Kingdom
This event is brought to you by The Blockchain Connector and King’s College London Blockchain Society. Due to popular demand and positive feedback from our students we are running a series of Blockchain developer workshops in London. This will be our 14th developer workshops so far in London plus one in Zug, Switzerland. We have trained over 250+ developers to date since Jan 2017, our students have gone on to work as a Blockchain Developer and others have set up their own Blockchain start-up.
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. To help our students further, we provide one month on-line support through our dedicated private on-line channel. Our goal is to help regular Software Developers become Blockchain Developers. This workshop is also available on-site for start-ups and corporates at your desired location during the weekday and weekends.
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 plus more
Smart Contracts Design and Best Practices
What to know as a Blockchain Developer plus more
Hands-on development on Ethereum Solidity and Smart Contracts
This workshop comes with one month of continued on-line support via our own 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 required. If you are a student and would like to attend, you must come from a Computer Science and Software Engineering background.
We have a great line up of trainers that will help you break into the Blockchain space.
Matthew Di Ferrante
Matthew is a Software Engineer with a passion for Information Security, Cryptography, and Distributed Networks. 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, a member of the Ethereum Foundation Security Team and FounderlLead auditor at Zero Knowledge Labs focusing on smart contracts security auditing.
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’s design for a Secure Oracles Reputation System on Ethereum recently won first place for Smart Contract Security at the Thomson Reuters HackETHon.
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.
Nick Johnson
Nick Johnson is a Senior Software Engineer and has been working in the software engineering space for the past 16 years. Nick is currently working as a Software Engineer for the Ethereum Foundation and prior to this, he worked at Google for a number of years.

This event in collaboration with Gnosis is brought to you by The Blockchain Connector and King’s College London Blockchain Society
Headline: How to build decentralized prediction markets?
Abstract:
The presentation will cover technical details of the Gnosis platform and how developers can get started building their own application on Gnosis. In addition, future technical challenges to bring Gnosis to the masses will be discussed and possible solutions will be presented.
Gnosis Background:
Gnosis will be a disruptive force driving change in a number of systemically important global markets, including finance, gambling, insurance, and information. Gnosis prediction markets will also find applications in new forms of distributed, market-based governance protocols, and will provide unique incentivization opportunities for both local and global economies. Gnosis is well-positioned as a medium for a long-term shift toward information arbitrage economies that will power the Internet of Things, as well as more advanced forms of artificial intelligence. We believe that we are on the cusp of a Cambrian explosion of machine intelligence that will leverage a global liquidity pool of information for decision-making and will be deeply interwoven on a shared blockchain fabric such as Ethereum. Decentralized prediction markets seeded on Gnosis will be the ideal medium of exchange for these intelligent agents.

Nuggets:Take Back Control of Your Data. Blockchain Payments and ID platform
20 Feb - 06:00 PM
London, United Kingdom
Please note: this event is open to business users, non-technical users, developers, investors and blockchain enthusiasts. We require each attendee to register on Eventbrite to attend this event. Please complete the registration form provided. Security at the venue will not allow entry to anyone without a valid ticket. This is a private event and we have the right to refuse entry.

Headline: Nuggets - Take Back Control of Your Data
Abstract:
We will cover the following areas:
- Developing one of the first consumer blockchain platforms to give users a single biometric tool for payment, login, and identity verification, without sharing or storing private data.
- The privacy crisis: each of us has private data stored with 100+ services, creating vast and vulnerable silos of sensitive customer information.
- How Nuggets is using blockchain technology to solve that crisis, with huge benefits for consumers and corporates alike.
- Where next for Nuggets?
Bio of speaker:
Alastair Johnson, Founder & CEO, Nuggets
Alastair has spent over 25 years as an entrepreneur and innovator, almost entirely in digital innovation: taking big ideas and design through to delivery. With deep knowledge across technical, production and commercial areas, he has led global integrated product development and product marketing for brands like Microsoft, Skype, Office, Xbox, Hololens, Disney, TED and the BBC. He has created and led multi-disciplinary global teams in both start-ups and multinational corporations, both client and agency side.
About Nuggets
Nuggets is an e-commerce payments and ID platform. It stores your personal and payment data securely in the blockchain, so you never have to share it with anyone – not even Nuggets. It was inspired by CEO Alastair Johnson’s experience of having his payment details used fraudulently – and the complicated, frustrating process that ensued. Nuggets solves this problem, using zero knowledge storage, encryption, privacy, security and trust, all combined with the decentralised immutable ledger.
For consumers, Nuggets is a single, secure sign-on for payment, login and ID verification, with no tracking or selling of your activity. Access is purely through biometrics to replace usernames and passwords. For businesses, Nuggets will mean the end of vast, vulnerable databases of customer data, minimising the risk of regulatory issues. The Nuggets platform is agnostic, and will be available across e-commerce platforms and payment gateways.

Due to popular demand and positive feedback from our students we are running a series of Blockchain developer workshops in London. Big thank go out to Linklaters in London for hosting us. This will be our 10th developer workshops so far in London plus one in Zug, Switzerland. We have trained over 220+ developers to date since Jan 2017, our students have gone on to work as a Blockchain Developer and others have set up their own Blockchain start up.
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. This workshop is also available on-site for start-ups and corporates at your desired location during the weekday and weekends.
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 plus more
