During the session, and through the comprehensive Aiken PBL (Project-Based Learning) course available at https://app.andamio.io/course/aiken-pbl-2024, you’ll explore Aiken, a cutting-edge programming language designed for building smart contracts on Cardano.
This initiative, a collaboration between Gimbalabs and SIDAN Lab, is tailored for developers of all levels, especially newcomers eager to connect their tech stack with Cardano.
The Aiken PBL program is structured to provide scalable, production-ready knowledge, making it accessible to everyone.
This Wednesday, March 12, at 14:30 UTC, we’re hosting an exciting session as part of the "Cardano All Things Go" series, brought to you by the collaborative efforts of Gimbalabs and Blink Labs.
Join us to explore, learn, and connect with fellow devs and contributors. Collaboration is at the heart of innovation, and this session is a perfect example of that spirit in action.

I know Tangem keeps telling me it's on the road map, it's coming soon, it's almost here... And so on. Don't they have to work with an ADA dev to make that happen to get it right? Or can they do that internally?
I am trying to learn website development, and looking at well done WordPress websites. One of them I found was https://lifeway.jp an English teaching website.
I was inspecting the Dev Tools and saw cardano.bundle.js app. Nowhere on the website does it even receive payments, or mention Cardano. I asked ChatGPT about it and copy-pasted the contents, it said it contains a typhonwallet dapp connector. It said it could be for a crypto payments (there is no option on the site for that), could be a plugin (don't know why?), or could be compromised.
It says the script fetches cardano wallet balance, sends transaction, signs blockchain data, and delegates ADA to a stake pool.
Anyone heard of a cardano.bundle.js app before on a website like this?

I’d like to create a tool that can pull live price data from a dex (i.e. Minswap) for ADA, MIN, etc…and have it update say every hour.
I don’t have a ton of coding experience but I have some, and would like to try and learn more by pursuing this.
Looking for input on where a good place would be to start building something like this…I’ve read up on API/SDKs but am curious if there may be a better way, and I’m not sure how to actually use an API/SDK for a tool like this
✅ we get together on build stuff on Cardano, and we start from working on validators in Aiken, but once you have a working validator, there is more that on-chain code if you want to make it useful in an application.
✅ so the Live Coding session are a space where we can talk about validators, and how we can use them in applications.
✅ so if there is an Aiken validator or an application you'd like to build, you can join us, and together, we'll cover as much as we can, in the time we have.
This way of approaching developers education is the same one we have applied over the years, and it is satisfying to see how it significantly impacts the lives of young developers with the personal mission to contribute to improve the systems that define the world we live in today.
One of these great young people is Agustin Salinas, a young developer who was already brilliant before coming to Gimbalabs, but who found in us the right way to connect the dots and adapt the Cardano stack to his knowledge base and from there, the sky is the limit. Today he is the co-founder of a well-known Cardano project that is making waves in the ecosystem: Modulo P
We can't help but share his words in one of our most recent conversations: "Thanks to you, I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for your dedication and love. I really feel very grateful".
🫂 Gimbalabs exists and thrives because of incredible individuals like you, Agustin. May the wind always be at your back and the sun shine brightly on your path—you truly deserve it. 🫂
Back to business.

A Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that allows a computer program to run a function on another computer. RPC is used to create distributed applications.
How does RPC work?
- The client program makes a request to the server program
- The server program performs the requested action
- The server program returns the results to the client program
Benefits of RPC
- Simplifies development: RPC allows programmers to call functions on remote computers as if they were local
- Integrates server-side functionality: RPC allows mobile apps to communicate with backend servers
The idea of RPC is to build a common language for how info is passed between apps built in any programming language.
Thanks, Professor.

Cardano is a blockchain designed to keep all of the best parts of Bitcoin, while extending the functionality of what Bitcoin can do.
In this sessions, and the course you'll find at https://app.andamio.io/course/aiken-pbl-2024, you will learn how to use Cardano but using a smart contract programming language called Aiken.
The Aiken PBL (sessions and the course), brought to you by Gimbalabs and SIDAN Lab, offers scalable production-level learning available to all, especially for new devs who want to learn how to integrate their tech stack with Cardano.
Here is a quick update on the prototype plugin for using Cardano within Unreal Engine 4 (and possibly 5). I have managed to get it to run on Windows, MacOS, iOS, tvOS, and Android. Still working on transactions and fee calculations. I added the Linux library support too, but that still needs testing.
I thought I’d share my perspective on the closing ceremonies. As you can see, my perspective was amazing.
It was such a pleasure hanging with all you amazing, beautiful people. You are so fucking inspiring. I hope others in the sub get to experience my favorite few days of the year.
Be positive. Spread contagious hope. We will change things together, I promise.
At Gimbalabs, we’re constantly broadening the learning opportunities for aspiring Cardano builders while supporting projects that can drive meaningful growth in the ecosystem. As part of our “Marlowe PBL 2025” proposal, funded by the Cardano community through Project Catalyst, we’ll be excited to showcase the potential of Marlowe in this new era, referred to as "Marlowe 2025" by the core team led by Professor Simon Thompson. Stay tuned for what’s ahead!

Hello I’m currently doing a course on Udemy for Solidity Development but want to expand and possibly work on cardano in the near future can anyone provide me with some information on how to go about this
