The Orlando State Code Camp is a free online/offline technology conference in the Orlando Florida area. Like many other code camps, it provides an opportunity for local area developers to share development tools, techniques, and ideas. And it’s free! The code camp was at Seminole State College this year, on 2/24/24. I gave a similar presentation to the one I gave previously at the Boston Code Camp. My presentation was titled “Intro to Blockchain-Focused Software Development”. It was a combination of an introduction to blockchain technology, and to smart contract programming in Solidity.
My thanks go out to the organizers, fellow presenters, and sponsors. The organizers were gracious and welcoming, the venue was perfect, and the audiences in my talk and the talks I attended were engaged and actively participated. Last but not least, the sponsors kept us well fed and hydrated.
Session Description
Cryptocurrency, smart contracts, web3, and blockchain may seem scary, but they’re just terms in a new domain with new programming languages and frameworks. In the ever-changing world of software, developers are used to that. Come and hear about the various ways you can build apps on or for blockchains.
After an introduction to the domain and some core terminology, we’ll step through code demos including:
- a Solidity smart contract, basic code running on a blockchain’s virtual machine
- a basic web3 integration which will include executing functions on the smart contract
Attendees should come away with a good overview of what’s involved in blockchain development.
