Ledford’s motto is “Build it, make it scale, and make it beautiful,” and he firmly believes that “Facilitating trust is good business” as intermediaries who connect users to trust networks currently generate billions in value, without the need to generate a product of their own.
Unique hands-on data visualization workshop
CoinMarketCap’s workshop, “Creating Portfolio Visualizations Using the CoinMarketCap REST API” will give attendees a rare step-by-step chance to build a basic portfolio webpage. Participants will take stored market data and use Google Charts to track portfolios over time.
