What will happen in your session?

The session will start with an overview of blockchain technology, move on to what a distributed ledger is, then introduce a real life example of bitcoin. Next, I'll explain the subtle differences between bitcoin and blockchain by introducing use-cases.

Once participants realize the extent and use of blockchains, I will then introduce the concept of d-apps and the ethereum platform. Hands-on workshop follows (https://goo.gl/5GgEg3):

Setup development environment - Install testrpc, web3js and start test blockchain
Smart contracts: Use solidity to write out a simple contract that increments votes & returns the count of votes
Setup a simple website to invoke the contract methods
Play with the application and see blockchain in live

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The aim of the workshop is to ensure that participants are made aware about the technicalities of blockchain - a decentralized database that's used to make sure that transactions are immutable and helps build trust among its users. Participants are exposed to the entire ethereum stack and by themselves - able to compile, deploy and interact with the application. At the end of the workshop, the participants would’ve built their first decentralized voting application using the ethereum framework on the blockchain.

The larger goal is to help participants to appreciate decentralization as a philosophy and the concept of trust over the internet to build applications on their own or contribute to the plethora of open source Ðapps listed here (https://dapps.ethercasts.com/).

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

A few post-its, white sheets and sharpies would come in handy during brainstorming.

Oops, the title is Build your own decentralized application (Ðapp) on the blockchain using ethereum. Sorry for the typo.

@abhi12ravi Thanks for submitting! Totally optional, if you want you can see if you want to work the theme of the decentralisation space into your presentation https://github.com/KadeMorton/Xenshana
