Taught by professor Neal Davis, ~lagrev-nocfep, who brought this planet the first collegiate Urbit course, Martian Computing.

Prerequisites:
- We do not anticipate your knowing Hoon in advanced, although experience with programming is a prequisite.

Objectives:
- Program literately using the Hoon language, including source code conventions and interoperability.
- Explain and navigate the schematics and technical implementation of the Urbit OS kernel (Arvo and vanes).
- Construct novel userspace apps to run on the Urbit OS platform (Gall, Landscape).
- Sign and distribute working apps through an Urbit-backed software development service.

We will not deal with Azimuth, parsing, many aspects of generators, event logs, runtime issues, and many other aspects of fully grokking Urbit.

This is your opportunity to help develop the first generation of Urbit applications to be distributed on the network. Work alongside Tlon engineers and Urbit developers on projects ranging from the simple to the complex—everything from basic games to critical infrastructure. This track is focused on developing apps in small groups.

We'll have a list of projects ready for you to work on or bring your own ideas!

Smart contracts built the foundation for decentralization. As digital communities have evolved, so have the tools with them. DAOs need more than smart contracts. What’s the newest stack? Come learn about the DAO stack from the innovators creating tools that shape the future of digital communities.

Panel: New World Energy

The current internet suite of applications for creators is manipulative, erratic, overbearing, and highly detrimental to society–all while being unnecessarily complex and frustrating to use. When you create a community on the legacy internet, you’re a tool being used by whichever platform you choose. Urbit offers a new world.
