This is a 6 part series occurring every 3 weeks starting Aug 3rd. Each session is unique and builds on the previous session (i.e. the sessions are not repeats). The series will focus on how to build robust smart contracts that are secure. The instructor Martin Abbatemarco of OpenZeppelin will be delivering this course.
