Java and the Blockchain - building Java applications on Ethereum with web3j 3.0
Details
In this talk Conor Svensson will provide an overview of what blockchain/distributed ledger technology is, and how the Ethereum blockchain works. We'll discuss smart contracts, and demonstrate how you can deploy and interact with smart contracts on Ethereum, all from within the JVM, thanks to the open-source library web3j, which has just had its milestone 3.0 release!
We will also learn about web3j's usage of ReactiveX's Observable, and the great enhancements it was able to bring to web3j, both internally and externally for its users working with the blockchain.
Conor Svensson is the author of web3j, the JVM library for integrating with the Ethereum blockchain. He is also the founder of blk.io (http://blk.io/) [7] who provide the foundations for enterprises wishing to work with blockchain technology.
