Road to Devcon VIII India - PUNE Edition #2
Devcon is coming to India, and the journey continues.
Road to Devcon is a community meetup series designed to help you discover what Devcon is, why it matters, and how you can become a part of the world's largest gathering of the Ethereum ecosystem.
After a great turnout at our first edition, ETH Pune is back with Road to Devcon VIII India - Pune Edition #2 - this time featuring a Smart Contract workshop alongside our Road to Devcon talk, so you don't just hear about Ethereum, you get hands-on with it.
Whether you're a student taking your first steps into Ethereum, an experienced builder, a founder, researcher, designer, or simply curious about Web3, this session will give you a complete introduction to Devcon VIII India, the opportunities that come with it, and a practical intro to writing your first smart contract.
