Decentralised applications using ipfs and libp2p

December 17, 2018 (Monday) @ Barka Alrina

Talk #1: “Decentralised applications using ipfs and libp2p” by Jan Pustelnik

Abstract

Cloud or so-called serverless is just an evolution of the traditional client-server model. But what about applications that do not require any server? Yes, it’s not just possible, but even very easy with ipfs and libp2p. In this talk, I want to discuss decentralized applications, basic tools for creating them and typical problems they solve.

Bio

Software Engineer at Actyx by day, sporadic Akka and Dotty projects contributor by night. Interested in how software works on low level, he does not find big frameworks appealing. This is the main reason why he loves Scala, a very expressive language that allows one to build right abstractions quickly without losing control over details. Jan is an active member of JUG Łódź and occasional conference speaker. In his spare time he loves to dust-off some old issue of computer science journal only to find out that everything has already been invented before he even was born.
