Get your laptops ready, Berlin! Chainlink Bootcamp is coming your way! 🇩🇪

In these instructor-led training sessions, you'll learn what a blockchain is, how smart contracts work, and how to create, deploy, and execute smart contracts using Chainlink oracles to securely access off-chain data and computations.

We believe in learn-by-doing, so get ready to code, create, and collaborate!

✨ Please Note:

• This event will be in-person only. The session will be split between 18 September and 19 September 2023. We highly recommend that you attend each session.
• To help us better organize this event, please register beforehand to guarantee your attendance.

🛠 Requirements! Please Prepare:

• Chainlink Bootcamp is a highly interactive educational event. Please make sure you "bring your laptop fully charged."
• To help us make better use of our time during the hands-on sessions. Please prepare the necessary software by following the provided instructions in this document.
• The instructor will do it step-by-step, but if you do this beforehand, you'll learn more during class.

📚 Day 1 Curriculum:

On the first day, the primary focus will be introducing the fundamental concepts of blockchains, smart contracts, oracle networks, and technologies of Chainlink, focusing on Chainlink Data Feeds and Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).

Chainlink Data Feeds are the quickest way to connect your smart contracts to real-world data such as asset prices, reserve balances, NFT floor prices, etc.

Chainlink CCIP is a "time-tested and robust" framework for cross-chain communications. It enables disparate blockchain networks to send data back and forth, including transaction information and other on-chain activity.

Our experienced instructor, Solange Gueiros, will guide you through these crucial aspects of Chainlink, equipping you with the skills to create, deploy, and execute smart contracts effectively.

What if I've never been to a bootcamp or worked with blockchain before?

No worries! Prior coding experience would be beneficial but is not mandatory as we will also cover basics. This is a great place to learn all things blockchain, smart contracts, and Chainlink.

What is Chainlink?

Chainlink is the industry-standard Web3 services platform enabling trillions of dollars in transaction volume across DeFi, insurance, gaming, NFTs, and other major industries. As the leading decentralized oracle network, Chainlink enables developers to build feature-rich Web3 applications with seamless access to real-world data and off-chain computation across any blockchain and provides global enterprises with a universal gateway to all blockchains.
