everybody my name is Hudson Jamison ya
get it's on Hudson Jamison i'm a
developer from texas and yeah i'm just
thought that i do a lightning talk on
what I've learned in the processes I've
had to go through to navigate the
community so how many of you've never
written in solidity like never touched
it right how many of you like have never
written and want to learn like just dive
in right anybody no one's gonna go home
and dive in okay got it awesome bro so
what happened is when I started I didn't
really know what to do I would go to the
reddit and I would go and because
athyrium it's really cool that they get
to develop so quickly they have very
very fast fast break neck speed with
development but there's so many new
features like people were thrown off for
instance a few weeks ago when they were
throw throw exceptions added so even the
simplest things can be hard to keep up
with so I'm going to run you through
some links that i like to use and then
finally my repository of links that i
use to keep up with everything that's
going on so first one obviously their
github that's where i get a lot of my
examples if I'm lying to mess with a
piece of solidity code second one is
going to be the blog metallic props to
writing and producing a blog while the
conference is going on so yeah this is
actually very very useful stuff there's
a lot of good information from everyone
on the team they do weekly dev updates
now so a lot of improvement on the
communication front let's see here this
is the reddit this is definitely the
second best resource I've used for
coming you know with a theory of
knowledge it's at least in the top three
people post here it's very active a lot
of breaking news happens on here and if
you have a coding question there's a
good amount of people who are here to
help you
the etherium form is another really good
one right now it's actually a bit laggy
so I think a lot of people are visiting
it which is a good sign but yeah this
has a lot of different things people are
posting like Piper with the etherium
alone alarm clock he post all his
updates to here and when i was doing my
first smart contracts and i was trying
to struggle with you know setting up a
private testing environment or looking
at examples this frontier guide is
amazing this is a very large get book
that's been developed out of resources
that they wrote you know on the wiki and
recently there was even a guide
specifically for solidity set up i think
it'll give it yep the redirect code so
chris i think was the main on this he
made a new solidity documentation site
and it's constantly being updated by
members of the community for ease of
reference so it's not always going to be
over your head it's actually going to be
pretty cool best resource i found and i
mean i've met tons of you guys at this
conference already from this is the git
er page so get ur is a chat channel and
it's a chat program rather if you have a
github repository you automatically have
a gator page so for instance this is the
etherium main page on git er and we have
go a theory mcpp athyrium and the people
who are coding in those you know
packages or in those repositories are
here chatting live so for instance you
go to cpp athyrium and you know gabs in
there he's just talking about historical
whatever revisions of stuff and even
like people coming in and just like hey
I'm brand new on here it's very very
welcoming very odd for you know the
crypto community can be kind of
malicious have a lot of trolls but I
feel a theory 'um is kind of different
it's very different from the rest of the
pack this was mentioned earlier this
area 51 Stack Overflow so if you type in
area 51 stack overflow we're number two
on the list right now we need just a
little bit more support if you have a
question I'd say post it to reddit post
it to hear you'll get answers from both
from different people in the community
it'll help you a lot and then finally
something so oh by the way my name is
sue tacular on the forms and I've kind
of trying to take the initiative to make
a tips and tricks book so if you see me
posting and helping on reddit or the
getter I sometimes lead people to this
what this is is my collection of notes
my collection of steps and the one that
is complete right now is creating a
private test in it so you can go into
all these different places and create it
but if you want to do it from scratch
that's a good way to learn finally this
resource list giant giant list of
resources so yeah I love helping the
community I want everyone to get
involved come together come to reddit
come to there you can leave me comments
feel free to reach out to me I'm a soup
tacular or Hudson jameson on pretty much
everywhere online thank you
you
