Hackergarten #7: Learn Solidity Smart Contracts With Cryptozombies

Austin Coleman and Adam Novak will walk through a tutorial series called cryptozombies, where you can create your own crypto zombies that eat crypto kitties! We will review the basics of creating Ethereum smart contracts using the (javascript-like) Solidity language. Experience with one or more programming languages is recommended, but no prior Ethereum or Solidity experience is necessary.

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. Quick review of Solidity
4. Walk through first few tutorials
5. Let others continue tutorial, answer questions when they come up

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