Pupin’s WEB3 Challenge – all workshops! A Complete Journey Through Blockchain Development: Five Workshops Now Available
We’re thrilled to announce the completion of our comprehensive series of five blockchain development workshops, now available as a YouTube playlist. These sessions are meticulously designed to help participants grasp the intricacies of blockchain development, enabling them to master key concepts swiftly, win prizes, and gear up for our upcoming bootcamp scheduled for February/March. Below, you’ll find an overview of each session, all aimed at transforming beginners into junior blockchain developers. Partner is BuidlGuidl and Kevin Jones as lead workshop facilitator.
Session 1 – Introduction to Blockchain and Smart Contracts 🛠️
In our foundational session, participants were introduced to blockchain technology and its cornerstone—smart contracts. The Ethereum blockchain and Solidity programming language took center stage as attendees learned the basics of creating and deploying their first smart contract. The hands-on approach ensured a smooth entry into the blockchain space, setting the stage for deeper dives in subsequent workshops.
Session 2 – Solidity Basics and Smart Contract Development 🔧
Building on the first session, this workshop explored the Solidity language in detail. Topics included variables, data types, mappings, functions, and modifiers. Participants practiced compiling smart contracts into Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode, gaining practical insights into Solidity’s syntax and functionality. The session emphasized creating secure and efficient contracts for decentralized applications (dApps).
Session 3 – Advanced Smart Contract Features and Use Cases 🫰
This session took a deeper dive into advanced Solidity features, including events, inheritance, and libraries. Real-world use cases, such as token creation and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, were discussed to give participants a glimpse into the practical applications of their knowledge. By the end, attendees had hands-on experience with deploying and interacting with complex smart contracts.
Session 4 – Decentralized Application (dApp) Development 🕹️
Participants stepped into the realm of decentralized applications in this workshop. Using Scaffold-ETH as a development framework, they created their first dApp, connecting smart contracts with intuitive frontends. From user authentication to handling blockchain data, the session covered the end-to-end process of dApp creation. This laid the foundation for building user-friendly blockchain-powered solutions.
Session 5 – Full Stack dApp Development Workshop 🌐
The series culminated in a full-stack development session, integrating knowledge from previous workshops. Attendees set up a new project using the latest tools, explored contract modifications, and leveraged The Graph for querying blockchain data. With all materials now accessible, participants gained substantial knowledge, positioning them as junior blockchain developers ready for advanced challenges, including the upcoming bootcamp and hackathon.
