Hackergarten #4: Ethereum Smart Contract Development

Austin Coleman will be leading this event, which will be an introduction to writing Ethereum Smart Contracts using the Solidity language. This is an event for developers, but beginning developers are absolutely welcome.

A hackergarten is a cooperative alternative to a Hackathon. The term and concept is a European import and we think it's a great fit for Santa Cruz. The Devoxx website explains (https://www.devoxx.be/hackergarten/):

Hackergartens are a great place to meet new people, have fun, and improve the lives of developers around the world one patch at a time; provided you’re willing to bring your laptop and get your hands dirty. Write a plugin, a tutorial, a small feature, or a bug fix for a project that interests you alongside several open-source experts willing to share their knowledge.

Tentative Agenda:

1. Network & chat to start
2. Introductions
3. (If necessary) General overview of blockchain
4. (If necessary) General overview of solidity and Ethereum
5. SimpleStorage smart contract example in Remix
6. ERC20 token example in Remix
7. Split off into small groups or try to create something together

We are open to agenda changes and suggestions. Looking forward to seeing you there!
