Due to popular demand and positive feedback from our students we are running a series of blockchain developer workshops in London. This will be our #16th developer workshops so far in London plus one in Zug, Switzerland. We have trained over 300+ developers to date since Jan 2017, our students have gone on to work as a Blockchain Developer and others have set up their own Blockchain start-up.
Join our two-day Blockchain Developer hands-on workshop and be at the very forefront of this new technology. Our workshop consists of topics that all future Blockchain Developers must know and we incorporate plenty of hands-on development sessions. To help our students further, we provide one month on-line support through our dedicated private on-line channel. Our goal is to help regular Software Developers become Blockchain Developers. This workshop is also available on-site for start-ups and corporates at your desired location during the weekday and weekends.
Day 1
Intro to Blockchains, Bitcoin and Byzantine Fault Tolerant Networks plus more...
Intro to Ethereum and Smart Contracts plus more...
Hands-on development on Ethereum Solidity and Smart Contracts
Day 2
Smart Contracts Security and Ethereum Internals - Cryptography, Consensus, EVM, Privacy plus more...
Smart Contracts Design and Best Practices
What to know as a Blockchain Developer plus more...
Tonnes Hands-on development on Ethereum Solidity and Smart Contracts
This workshop comes with one month free of continued on-line support via our own private Gitter channel.
After the workshop, we hope our students will continue coding, learning and exploring the Ethereum platform, and in good time, we hope our students will have the opportunity to work professionally in the Blockchain space. With this in mind, to help our students succeed, we are providing a dedicated Gitter channel after the workshop where our students have up to a month to ask further questions in relation to Ethereum, smart contracts etc.
Recommended development experience
Minimum of 6 months development experience is required. If you are a student and would like to attend, you must come from a Computer Science and Software Engineering background.
Right to cancel our workshop
If we don't reach the minimum number of students for our workshop, we have the right to cancel and reschedule the date, alternatively we will refund the total cost of your ticket. 
We have a great line up of trainers that will help you break into the Blockchain space.
Matthew Di Ferrante
Matthew is a Software Engineer with a passion for Information Security, Cryptography, and Distributed Networks. He has worked in many different areas, from hardware, embedded and kernel programming, to data mining, analytics, and network / systems programming. He first started learning programming at 12 years old, and is completely self taught, both on the practical side of programming, and on the theoretical side of computer science, mathematics, and cryptography. Matthew was first exposed to Bitcoin in late 2010 due to his interest in information security, as Bitcoin was first mainly used on darknets/Silk Road, and got fully involved in the Blockchain space around the time Ethereum started to exist - beginning his foray while living with Vitalik Buterin and long time friend Vlad Zamfir (Creator of Ethereum's Casper Protocol) in London for a few months.
Matthew currently works as a Technical Lead at Clearmatics developing Blockchain Technology for financial use cases, a member of the Ethereum Foundation Security Team and FounderlLead auditor at Zero Knowledge Labs focusing on smart contracts security auditing.
In his free time, Matthew works on personal hardware projects, gives Information Security and Blockchain related talks at various events, and organise one of the largest monthly Information Security events in the North-West. Matthew’s design for a Secure Oracles Reputation System on Ethereum recently won first place for Smart Contract Security at the Thomson Reuters HackETHon.
Matthew will be introducing developers to the way the Blockchain works technically, and what its potential applications could be. He will cover the workings and history of the Bitcoin Blockchain, as well as Ethereum and its concept of smart contracts that allow Turing complete code to execute on a virtual machine on the Blockchain.
Matthew will also talk about Smart Contracts Security and Ethereum Internals. He will discuss the most important areas to know as a Blockchain Developer. Matthew will hold a Q&A session after each topic.
Nick Johnson
Nick Johnson is a Senior Software Engineer and has been working in the software engineering space for the past 16 years. Nick is currently working as a Software Engineer for the Ethereum Foundation and prior to this, he worked at Google for a number of years.
He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and expertise in Solidity that he loves to share and will be teaching how to write and develop smart contracts during the hands-on development session, and will give students the opportunity to ask questions in relation to the Ethereum platform.
Laurence Kirk
After a successful career writing low latency financial applications in the City of London, Laurence was captivated by the potential of Blockchain Technology, and in particular smart contracts.
Two years ago, Laurence moved to Oxford and set up Extropy.io, a consultancy working with start-ups in the UK and overseas, developing applications on the Ethereum platform. He brings with him a wealth of real world experience that he loves to share with those new to this area.
Laurence hold a Physics degree from Durham University, and currently taking his MSc in Software Engineering at Oxford University. In addition to giving talks, mentoring at hackathons, and running groups about Blockchain Technology, Laurence also organise Artificial Intelligence and Data Science groups in Oxford.
During the workshop, Laurence will be teaching Solidity (an object-oriented programming language for writing smart contracts) from the simplest smart contract up to interacting with a web application. The focus is very much the practical techniques that are needed when developing on Ethereum. The sessions will be very hands on, encouraging students to practice and explore Ethereum and raise any questions students might have regarding the Ethereum platform.
Patrick McCorry
Patrick McCorry is a Research Associate at University College London and he will soon join Kings College London as an Assistant Professor. His focus is cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, cryptography and decentralised systems. Patrick is the UK’s first PhD graduate in Cryptocurrencies and his work has recently appeared at Devcon3, Scaling Bitcoin 2017, Breaking Bitcoin 2017 and BPASE 2018 alongside numerous academic venues.
As always, there will be plenty of Q&A throughout the whole two day workshop.
 
Date: Saturday 26th &amp; 27th of May, 2018
Time: 10:00 to 18:00
Workshop Location: Yoti, Fountain House, 130 Fenchurch Street, London, EC3M 5DJ
Lunch provided during the workshop on both days.
