Encode x Polkadot ink! Bootcamp: Intro to ink!
Join us for an introductory workshop on the ink! programming language, kicking off the ink! Bootcamp. This session covers the basics of smart contracts, the Polkadot ecosystem, and the Substrate framework. Watch this workshop to understand how smart contracts are deployed on Substrate-based blockchains and for a detailed walkthrough of the ink! smart contract structure (storage, constructors, messages, and events). Features a live demo of compiling, deploying, and testing ink! contracts using both a local blockchain and a testnet.
