3. Who am I? I’m Austin I go by @bitcoinplebdev online I’m a mostly self taught developer though I went through a fullstack bootcamp as well as the Base58 Transactions bootcamp I work on Bitcoin/Lightning/Nostr/FOSS I work out of PlebLab in Austin, Texas, and am involved in the Bitcoin/Lightning dev scene here I helped create the PlebDevs Lightning course and I run the PlebDevs community
4. My story
5. The evolution of a plebdev The Pleb Learning the fundamentals of Bitcoin, Computer Science, and Economics. Falling down the rabbit hole for the first time The Bitcoin Pleb You have experience now, you begin putting your knowledge to action, running your first node, writing your first code. The PlebDev You can write some code now, you understand Bitcoin from first principles. Time to combine your knowledge and skills and start building something!
6. Bought my first Bitcoin / first miner My miner (S9) broke Started trying to trade shitcoins Got wrecked Started learning how to code Moved to Austin Got my first Bitcoin job (Fold) Started PlebDevs
7. I coined the term plebdev about 2 years ago as a framing to help me talk about my developer journey in Bitcoin. What is a Plebdev?
8. A plebdev is a Bitcoin pleb turned technical
9. Plebdevs are on the learning path.
10. A plebdev might be someone who is writing their first code or someone whose been coding for two years and is just working on getting to the next level
11. Plebdevs is focused mainly on App development vs protocol development (though the door to protocol dev is always open!)
12. Plebdevs embrace the label of n00b, being a noob is 1000x better than being on the sidelines
13. Bitcoin/Lightning/Nostr needs more Plebdevs!
14. The first PlebDevs course
15. Plebdevs Workshops
16. Plebdevs Discord
17. Not everyone wants/needs to become a developer But you can at least become a little dangerous!
18. Case study: Stories from 3 different Plebdevs
19. PlebPoet plebpoet.com - Writer / Designer - Wanted to build/maintain her own website - Did not want to become a nerd!
20. BTCRetriever - Wanted to become a dev / went to bootcamp - Used PlebDevs after bootcamp to level up in the Bitcoin space
21. Bitdern - Writer / wanted to level up his skills - Wanted to work in Bitcoin
22. Let’s check out some PlebDev tools Docker / Polar / Alby
23. Installing Docker Desktop in order to use Polar Docker Desktop
24. My favorite Lightning app Development tool
25. Polar - Quick and easy network setup: Polar allows you to quickly set up one or more Lightning Networks locally on your computer with just a few clicks. - Multiple node management: Easily add, start, and stop individual nodes, connect to them via RPC, and view streaming logs from each node, get root access to the terminal for each node. - Simplifies development: Allows easy creation of channels, invoices, and payments, peering, testing across node implementation versions, etc. - Polar supports LND, Core Lightning, Eclair, and Bitcoin Core.
26. 1. Open Docker Desktop, wait for it to start
27. 2. Open Polar, Create a Lightning network
28. 3. Create your network - Give it a name - You can use the default network or customize it / add nodes - Make sure that you have at least 1 Bitcoin Core node though
29. 4. Click Start
30. Let’s build a Lightning wallet! With Replit / WebLN / Alby
31. What is replit? Replit is a free easy to use development environment that runs on the web Project: https://replit.com/@bitcoinplebdev/rr-plebdevs
32. The basic webdev stack
33. Simple example
34. Simple example
35. HTML / CSS
36. JavaScript
37. React vs HTML/CSS/JavaScript
38. React vs HTML/CSS/JavaScript Let’s explore this same simple example implemented in React
39. Implemented in React
