The JVM as a platform for building smart contracts (22/3)

Hi devs! 

This month is going to be very busy (for too many people, for sure ;-)). In our case, we are really happy to announce a new interesting event for the next 22th of March, thanks to the visit of Ben Evans. 

In this talk, Ben will discuss Java bytecode and classloading, and a new way to make the JVM environment suitable for running 'smart contracts' for cryptocurrency and blockchain applications, including R3's Corda and IBM Hyperledger. Developers who are interested in learning more about the JVM's bytecode, classloading should attend. No previous knowledge or experience of distributed ledgers, cryptocurrency or blockchains is required.

Ben Evans is an author, speaker, consultant and educator. He is co-founder of jClarity, a performance tools startup. He helps to organize the London Java Community and serves on the Java Community Process Executive Committee, helping define new Java standards. He is a Java Champion, 3-time JavaOne Rockstar Speaker and a Java Editor at InfoQ. Ben is author of “The Well-Grounded Java Developer”, “Java: The Legend”, the new edition of “Java in a Nutshell” and the forthcoming "Optimizing Java". Ben is a regular speaker and educator on topics such as the Java platform, systems architecture, security, performance and concurrency at companies and conferences all over the world.

At this moment we are looking for a place to hosting the talk, so if anyone is interested in hosting the talk, please send us a message, we will be really happy to come ;-)

Do not forget to RSVPed and see you next 22th!
