Learn Ethereum & Help the Homeless

This event is a cross-event with the New York JavaScript Study Group (https://www.meetup.com/New-York-JavaScript-Study-Group/events/243155556/), which is developing an app to help the homeless population in NYC. Please either RSVP here OR in the other group. Do not RSVP to both!

We'll be leveraging blockchain technology (Ethereum, specifically) toward helping the homeless in a multi-part hackathon. We have a project in mind...but you have to come to the meetup to get in on the secret!

The first step will be to set up our Ethereum environment and getting started with creating a "hello world" app in Solidity. Our agenda for this meetup will be specifically to:

• Quickly recap the goal / vision of our app for helping the homeless

• Work together to figure out how to set up our environment for building in Ethereum and specifically how it can best be used for this project

• Make a basic "hello world" app in Solidity.

IMPORTANT: This is a hands-on peer programming session. Please bring a laptop and expect to do some basic programming.

See you all there!
