#web3

This talk will be centered around improving user experiences in web3 by abstracting away blockchain interactions.

We will go through a brief explanation of what is Web3 and the architecture of a web3 application. Then we will talk about how to end-to-end test, its challenges, some test tools that are available, and a demo using cypress and metamask.
Agenda: What is Web3; The Architecture of a Web3 Application; Web3 E2E Tests Introduction; Web3 E2E Tests Challenges; E2E Test Tools; Demo.

There is a lot of hype and interest around diving into the Web3 space, and it can be hard to manage the information overload and the emphasis on learning new languages to work on smart contracts. Many developers in the frontend space ask, “How much of this new information do I need to transition into web3?” The truth is as a React developer, the skills I know are essential in web3. Let’s add some context around how to leverage those existing skills to succeed in this new space.
In this talk, we’re going to explore how to build the correct context and the technologies to understand to help you dive into web3 as a front-end developer. We’ll go over popular packages like Ethers, which can be used in React applications to interact with wallets and existing smart contracts. We will also explore how you can leverage your Javascript skills to build full-stack dApps using managed services like Moralis and Thirdweb.
Let’s demystify some of the concepts in web3 and leverage our existing skills to start building.

Have we found nirvana for Blockchain developers? This session will focus on building blockchain dApps (distributed Apps) with one set of source code and deploy to multiple blockchains! The session will cover getting started with Reach and being able to deploy the same solution to multiple blockchains including Algorand, Ethereum, and Conflux. New to Reach? We will cover how to set up your development environment as well as walk through a simple app frontend and backend. Finally, we will look one the huge benefits of Reach in the built-in verification process. Reach provides automatic verifications to ensure that your program does not lose, lock away, or overspend funds and guarantees that your applications are free from this entire category of errors.

Will discuss the challenges faced in Web3.js project.
Some opensource contribution statistics.
Current refactoring objectives we are working on to make web3.js better.
Release timeline.
Overview of future plans.

What are the opportunities available to web devs in web3? What problems are they likely to face transitioning to web3? How the Decentology's Hyperverse solves these problems and can help them avail of these opportunities.

Decentralized apps (dApps) are continuing to gain momentum in the industry. These developers are also now some of the highest paid in the entire trade. Building decentralized apps is a paradigm shift that requires a different way of thinking than apps built with traditional centralized infrastructure, tooling, and services – taking into consideration things like game theory, decentralized serverless infrastructure, and cryptoeconomics. As a React developer, I initially had a hard time understanding this entirely new (to me) ecosystem, how everything fit together, and the mental model needed to understand and be a productive full stack developer in this space (and why I would consider it in the first place). In this talk, I'll give a comprehensive overview of the space, how you can get started building these types of applications, and the entire tech stack broken apart then put back together to show how everything works.
