Solidity Development Environment Setup/Installfest

Welcome to the Oakland Blockchain Developers Meetup!

TLDR: Come to our first event and set up your development environment!

Resources Github - https://github.com/rachel-ftw/oak-eth-dev-installfest

--

This first meetup is an occasion for us to introduce ourselves and to get our environments ready for blockchain development. You will just need basic knowledge of Terminal and how to install packages via NPM. What we will install:

1. Solidity - http://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/develop/

2. TestRPC - https://github.com/ethereumjs/testrpc

3. Web3.JS - https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/

4. TruffleJS - http://truffleframework.com/

After successful installs, we will then build and deploy a basic Smart Contract to the Ethereum Blockchain. We will also do basic real time querying on the Blockchain to verify our migrations/deployments.
