Ethereum is an open source software platform based on blockchain technology that enables developers to build and deploy decentralized applications on a public blockchain network. Ethereum enables users to participate in a global computer network which is done by means of smart contracts which are scripts of code that can be deployed in the Ethereum blockchain. Although smart contracts are still a very new technology, they have a wide range of enormous potential applications in the many different areas of business such as voting, asset transfer, global supply chains, medical records, and many others that hope to discuss and explore in this workshop.

Benefits of learning Ethereum programming skills
Blockchain development has taken a leading position as one of the most demanded programming skills requested by employers in the UK and globally. Upwork reports that blockchain engineering was second among the most demanded skills in the global labour market in 2017. Let's Learn digital have witnessed blockchain technology interest substantially widen outside the core sectors of business and finance extending right across all areas of industry, and the number of such companies programming on Ethereum is growing daily. The number of the vacancies connected with the blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and ICOs increased four-fold in 2017, according to LinkedIn. Data from IT Jobwatch quotes rise of 12% (6 months to April 2018) for programming vacancies in Ethereum with average permanent salaries in the realm of between £72,000 and £80,000 in the UK and in excess of $120K in the US.

Is there any preparation required in advance of the course?
This course is technical in nature and would require the student to be comfortable with coding. To prepare for the class all students must have the following:

Comfortable with terminal and command line
- Understanding of programming languages (ex: Go, Node.js, Java, Python)
- Comfortable with terminal and command line
Here are a few links for learners who wish to learn basic programming in advance:
