Abstract
We document our experiences in teaching smart contract programming to undergraduatestudents at the University of Maryland, the first pedagogical attempt of its kind. Since smartcontracts deal directly with the movement of valuable currency units between contratual parties,security of a contract program is of paramount importance.Our lab exposed numerous common pitfalls in designing safe and secure smart contracts.We document several typical classes of mistakes students made, suggest ways to fix/avoid them,and advocate best practices for programming smart contracts. Finally, our pedagogical effortshave also resulted in online open course materials for programming smart contracts, which maybe of independent interest to the community.
