Description

Build Lightning Apps Without Running a Node

The Breez Nodeless SDK enables developers to integrate Lightning Network payments into their applications without the complexity of running and managing a Lightning node. This hands-on workshop will take you from SDK fundamentals to building a complete Lightning-powered application.

Through a combination of theory, live coding demonstrations, and practical challenges, you'll learn how to leverage the full power of the Breez SDK. The course centers around "Bitcoin Wars," an interactive project that showcases real-world Lightning integration patterns.

By the end of this course, you'll have built a working Lightning application, understand the SDK's core methods, and know how to continue learning and contributing to the Breez ecosystem.

Learning path

Objectives

  • Learn practical implementation of the Nodeless SDK methods and APIs
  • Build a complete Lightning-enabled application from scratch
  • Implement payment flows and wallet functionality using the SDK
  • Navigate SDK documentation and contribute to the community
