Theme: «How to get started writing applications for Ethereum»
Ever since I started coding (12 years ago) I was always passionate about new technologies. I started studying Block-chain and Bitcoin since 2014 and I am currently in the process of obtaining a certification on Ethereum. Since then I have attended various workshops and seminars such as ETH waterloo Hackaton about the blockchain technology. Understanding blockchain technology is not that complex, the real challenge is how blockchain technology can be integrated and implemented within existing infrastructures and technologies. Which is why in my line of thought about blockchain I am focusing more about the technical aspects of blockchain technology.
