Getting Started on Hedera Hashgraph w/ Ken Anderson, Lead Developer Advocate

Are you a forward thinking Developer, tech Entrepreneur or Enthusiast, interested in the future of decentralised technology?

The Hedera hashgraph platform provides a new form of distributed consensus; a way for people who don't know or trust each other to securely collaborate and transact online without the need for a trusted intermediary. The platform is lightning fast, secure, and fair, and, unlike some blockchain-based platforms, doesn’t require compute-heavy proof-of-work. Hedera enables and empowers developers to build an entirely new class of distributed applications never before possible.

The meetup will provide a detailed overview of the Hedera Hashgraph Platform, live demonstration of the SDK (software development kit), an opportunity to network with the Hedera Hashgraph team and other like minded people. And show you how to get started on the platform.
