Start playing with Holochain applications!

In this session you will build your own DNA by composing small modules of functionality using the compository. Using the holochain playground, a hands-on space to test your knowledge of Holochain, you will build your own zome functions and see what happens!

This demonstration shows how to use the Vue Cli presets and plugins we built for Holochain to create a fully operational distributed p2p application in minutes. Running yarn start gives you, the developer, a Holochain Conductor admin app for managing Demo Agents, installing your new app and launching your app with the crypto keys for each Demo Agent. There are four web apps launched making it super easy to see how your app really works for each Agent. That's not all, using the same technique you can add "modules" of functionality to your app plus you can add new layouts, views and entry types. Come and see how easy it is to build a fully distributed, p2p, secure, fast, reliable and great looking app for the new world!

Applications built with Holochain are highly modular. This makes it easy to share code and compose smaller pieces together into larger wholes. Each functional part of a Holochain application, called a DNA, has its own set of rules, private network, and distributed database.

This session will dive into the basic concepts of Holochain app architecture covering the building blocks of DNAs, membranes, data validation and more.

What ideas do you have? Let’s architect them on the fly!

Holochain is an open-source development framework and distributed P2P networking protocol. It allows you to create truly serverless applications with high levels of security, reliability, and performance. Every user runs the application on their own device, creates and stores their own data, and talks directly to other users.

In this talk I introduce Holochain (a framework for building peer-to-peer applications), explain what problems it's trying to solve, show how it tries to solve them differently from blockchain and other decentralized protocols, and drop some juicy details about what you as a dev need to know if you want to start developing on it. Fun whiteboard scribbles explain the concepts along the way.
