Mention blockchain and most folk will probably think more about cryptocurrencies and mention how they regret not buying a few dozen bitcoin back in 2011, but there is more to blockchain than missed millions and some funny named currencies. So, join us for an introduction into some of the core concepts of developing a smart contract on top of a blockchain demonstrated with a simple blockchain application.
This will not be concerned with crypto-economics, or price speculation, but will focus on the technical and development opportunities in the ecosystem. We will cover the general blockchain basics that are required to understand the challenges associated with developing for this platform. This will be demonstrated by showing you how to write and test a smart contract, and then deploy it to the Stratis blockchain.

Formed in June 2010, the Aberdeen Developers .Net User Group is a non-profit user group which aims to benefit software developers in and around the Aberdeen area.
Primarily, we aim to offer in person events which deal with the various aspects of .Net Development. The topics for these meetings are decided by the User Group Committee, however, if there is a particular area that you would like to see an event on, then please feel free to get in touch with us.
It is our hope that all events will be provided absolutely free, or at a very minimal cost. We are able to do this through the generous support of our sponsors, without whom this group would not exist.
