This session helps software engineers transition smoothly to blockchain development by adapting their existing skills to the Web3 landscape. We'll start with the basics: setting up wallets, understanding gas fees, developing and deploying smart contracts. You’ll learn about developer UX, toolchains, and testing, highlighting the differences and similarities with traditional software development.
You will discover the practical aspects of chain abstraction, governance mechanisms, and collaborating with stakeholders in a decentralized environment. We’ll dive into privacy applications, exploring how technologies like Noir and Mina keep data private on public blockchains. You’ll see how blockchain functions as a different form of database and learn to identify when it’s the right fit for your projects.
Expect code demos in Rust, Solidity, and TypeScript, showing the versatility of blockchain development. By the end of this session, you’ll be equipped to navigate the Web3 world confidently, ready for future projects, and more attractive in the job market. Join us to transform your software engineering skills and unlock new opportunities in blockchain development.
