Hello, my name's Will

Pixel Artist: Valenberg

My Background

Books

  • Learn How to Code, Editor: Learn How to Code is a free e-book with everything a person would need to know to get started or level up as a web developer.

  • Maintaining Open Source Projects, Editor: There are many aspects to fostering an open source project -- building community, promoting the library, maintaining good communication, among other factors. This book is a take on how to create, grow and maintain a successful open source project.

  • Mastering Bitcoin, Editor: Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos covers the technical foundations of bitcoin and other cryptographic currencies, from cryptography basics, such as keys and addresses, to the data structures, network protocols and the consensus mechanism ("mining") that underpin bitcoin. Each technical topic is explained with user stories, analogies and examples, and code snippets illustrating the key concepts.

  • Mastering Ethereum, Editor: Mastering Ethereum by Andreas Antonopoulos is a book for developers, offering a guide to the operation and use of the Ethereum Open Blockchain.

Teaching

  • Stanford University, Bitcoin Engineering (CS251P): CS251 tackles the applied side of Bitcoin with a focus on practical projects. Students go through a series of Bitcoin-based labs, each of which are focused on a single practical problem that they'd encounter while trying to use Bitcoin. Over the course of going through these labs, students learn how to use Bitcoin mining chips in conjunction with Bitcoin-based software to build micropayments-based applications that work with an internet-connected device. The goal of the class it to help students gain the practical knowledge required to build fairly sophisticated hardware and software applications that require intimate knowledge of the Bitcoin protocol.
