Chainlink's Summer 2021 Smart Contract Developer Bootcamp is now open for registration, offering a free, hands-on, virtual program aimed at developers new to blockchain technology and smart contracts. The bootcamp provides instruction on the fundamentals of blockchain, Ethereum, and Solidity, as well as how to use Chainlink oracles to create hybrid smart contracts that incorporate off-chain data. It features two tracks—a weekday workshop and a weekend track—and emphasizes the importance of learning to use decentralized oracle networks like Chainlink to access external data and computation securely. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of Ethereum, Solidity, and Chainlink oracles by the end of the bootcamp, equipping them to meet the growing demand for skilled smart contract developers. The event aims to contribute to the ongoing innovation and adoption within the smart contract ecosystem, and spots are limited, encouraging early registration.
