In this session, we will build and deploy a decentralized application from scratch and delve into its additional features, all while minimizing the complexity typically associated with learning blockchain technology.

By the end of this session, I hope attendees will not only have a clearer understanding of blockchain development, but also realize that building in this space can be surprisingly straightforward and enjoyable.

My goal is to share my enthusiasm for open-source development and the potential of Web3.

This workshop has been presented at React Summit 2024, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

FAQ

Yes, Juno supports custom domains for your hosted applications. You can set up DNS entries and use your brand identity for the application's URL.

Juno is a platform designed for developing Web3 applications, replicating the cloud serverless concepts of Web2 but entirely based on blockchain technology. It offers features like built-in authentication, data store, file storage, hosting, custom domains, analytics, and serverless functions.

Juno was created by David, a freelance web developer based in Zurich.

In a Juno workshop, you will learn how to build applications on Web3, including setting up authentication, building a data store, persisting data on the blockchain, uploading files, and implementing serverless functions on the blockchain.

A Juno workshop will not cover crypto, tokens, Ethereum, Solana, or transaction-focused topics. The focus is on building applications on Web3 with a similar approach to Web2.

Juno uses a usage-based pricing model similar to a prepaid mobile phone card. You start with free resources, and if you need more, you can add funds. If the funds run out, the system stops working, ensuring no unexpected bills.

Yes, Juno is fully open source. Currently, David controls the updates and features, but the ultimate goal is to become a decentralized organization where developers collectively decide the project's direction.

The Internet Computer is the underlying infrastructure that Juno is based on. It includes authentication and provides the blockchain-based foundation for Juno's features.

Juno uses Internet Identity for authentication, which is passwordless and decentralized. This ensures privacy and control over your identity. You cannot log in with Gmail, GitHub, or Twitter.

Yes, Juno supports local development with a simulated blockchain environment using Docker. You can configure your local environment to mirror production settings.

The workshop overviews key architecture principles, design patterns, and technologies used to build microservices in the Node.js stack. It covers the theory of the GRPC framework and protocol buffers mechanism, as well as techniques and specifics of building isolated services using the monorepo approach with lerna and yarn workspaces, TypeScript. The workshop includes a live practical assignment to create a currency converter application that follows microservices paradigms. It fits the best developers who want to learn and practice GRPC microservices pattern with the Node.js platform.
Prerequistes:- Good understanding of JavaScript or TypeScript- Experience with Node.js and writing Backend applications- Preinstall Node.js, npm- Preinstall Protocol Buffer Compiler- We prefer to use VSCode for a better experience with JavaScript and TypeScript (other IDEs are also ok)

There are many journeys we can take into becoming a web3 developer. Not all journeys require learning a completely new language and becoming a smart contract developer. In this workshop we will learn how to build our own React UI on top of any existing smart contracts on the Polygon Proof of Stake Blockchain. We will explore a basic overview of blockchains and learn about the advantages of building on Polygon. We will also gain an understanding of what Smart Contracts are, learn how to find existing ones, and learn tools that help us interact with them from a React application.

The workshop is designed to help Web2 developers start building for Web3 using the Hyperverse. The Hyperverse is an open marketplace of community-built, audited, easy to discover smart modules. Our goal - to make it easy for JavaScript developers to build Web3 apps without writing a single line of smart contract code. Think “npm for smart contracts.”Learn more about the Hyperverse here.We will go over all the blockchain/crypto basics you need to know to start building on the Hyperverse, so you do not need to have any previous knowledge about the Web3 space. You just need to have JavaScript experience.

In this Talk, Rafaela discusses Web3, its decentralized and token-based model, and the architecture based on smart contracts. Testing Web3 poses challenges due to the need for third-party providers like MetaMask. Approaches such as mocking the Web3 flow and using end-to-end testing tools like Taskafar are suggested. The trade-offs in Web3 testing include test speed and dependency on third-party apps. Balancing unit, integration, and end-to-end tasks is crucial for a robust testing strategy.

Today we will discuss the Web3JS library, its history, maintenance, and community involvement. The upcoming version 4 aims to address challenges faced in version 1 by introducing native TypeScript support, reduced size, improved code readability, and increased test coverage. Version 4 also introduces a new validator for easier Ethereum data validation and allows developers to customize how they handle numbers and bytes. It brings a dynamic data format for custom formatting and introduces TypeScript for contracts without transpiling. The API in version 4 is easy to extend and has future improvements and refactoring.
