The **Scrypto Developer Event** was the [first in-person Scrypto developer event](https://www.radixdlt.com/blog/scrypto-developer-event-lisbon), held by RDX Works at Sud Hall in Lisbon, Portugal, on 9 April 2022. It introduced developers to [Scrypto](/contents/tech/core-protocols/scrypto-programming-language) and Radix’s [asset-oriented](/contents/tech/core-concepts/asset-oriented-programming) approach to building smart contracts.

## Format

The full-day programme ran from morning registration through an opening “Why DeFi is the Future” talk, two hands-on workshop sessions, a closing talk, and an open Q&A. The workshops were run by the RDX Works Builders Team, taking attendees through the basics of Scrypto and on to writing simple [blueprints](/contents/tech/core-concepts/blueprints-and-packages) and [components](/contents/tech/core-concepts/components) in the afternoon. Each participant took home a Scrypto developer box, prizes were awarded for completing workshop tasks, and — for those who could not attend in person — the event was live-streamed and [recorded](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo5LQW5hATQ).

## Significance

Held while Scrypto was still in alpha — more than a year before it reached production with the [Babylon mainnet](/contents/tech/releases/radix-mainnet-babylon) — the Lisbon event set the template for Radix’s later developer outreach, including the [Austin Developer Event](/contents/history/austin-developer-event), the university [DApp In a Day](/contents/history/dapp-in-a-day-workshop-1) workshop series, and remote hackathons such as the [Scrypto DeFi Challenge](/contents/history/scrypto-defi-challenge).
