    Welcome to Module 1!

    In this module you'll learn how to build a full stack decentralized application with a working smart contract backend and a React frontend. We know that getting started with any new software is often the hardest part. We are available to contact at any time for help, questions, or testnet ether at https://gitter.im/Blockchain-At-Berkeley/Lobby.
