#51 [Intermediate] ENS domain registration. Smart-contract dev tools.
Details
This workshop, is split into two parts, and you will need you laptop to participate.
PART 1 - ENS
Andre will go through the process of registering a domain with Ethereum Name Service (ENS).
• What is ENS?
• How the auction works?
• Practical: registering a name
The full process has a wait time of days between actions, so some of this will be demonstration.
PART 2 - Smart contract development
If you're new to smart contract development, or already skilled in remix, we will look at some productive tools for development, and go over some of the latest features of Solidity.
CLEANER - editor+linter combo
BETTER - compiling and testing
FASTER - convenience build tools
STRONGER - what's new in 0.4.23
Depending on everyone's level, some may have time to code up a trivial smart contract, add tests to an existing one, or go over any other coding questions.
If possible, come prepared with the Solidity compiler installed, and Dapp Tools:
• Different operating systems have different ways of installing Solidity - https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/v0.4.23/installing-solidity.html
• If you can, install -> dapp.tools <- for testing
• Although not essential, 'make' can be used to have more control of build commands (can do on the night)
