# Introduction

Lecture 1, Part 1

Lecture Video

Regular pre-recorded lectures on Thursdays and live Q&A session that will be recorded on Tuesdays.

Collaboration is encouraged.

Will look at the EUTxO model which is different than the model Ethereum uses. Requires a different way of thinking. Some things that are easy on other blockchains may be hard to grasp on EUTxO model.

Will talk about tokens, on-chain and off-chain code, testing, state machines, deployment.

This is the first cohort since smart contracts hit the Cardano blockchain.

Plutus learning is not easy. Will be a tough course. Everything is still new and changing constantly. Tooling is elementary. Improvements probably weekly.
