About

Ethereum is an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract functionality.

This training aims to provide with all the knowledge you need to begin developing smart contracts for Ethereum blockchain while adding a very important ingredient that is security. Starting from lab setup and Linux Operating System and diving deeper into smart contract development is the journey that participants are going to take in order to master all the skills they need to program and deploy smart contracts. The Ethereum tech ecosystem is in constant change but the experience that participants will gain are going to guide them to adapt to any circumstances regardless of difficulties that they may face.
