# Introduction to Solidity - How to create a smart contract

> Solidity is a high-level object-oriented language for implementing smart contracts. These contracts run on the Ethereum network, a decentralized network that allows users to execute contracts without the need for an intermediary.

ETH Latam Bogotá was a one-day event entirely in Spanish with talks and workshops for people who want to learn about Ethereum. It allows it to be the gateway for those who wish to know the principles, values, uses and impact of technology, it was carried out during the activities prior to DEVCON 2022 in Bogotá, Colombia.

During this event, I presented a Workshop where I explained how to create a smart contract in Solidity, the programming language to create smart contracts on the Ethereum network.

<h2 className="article-legacy-h1">Introduction to Solidity - How to create a smart contract</h2>

Over the next few minutes you will learn the syntax of a smart contract, understand the particulars of the Solidity programming language, the programming language for Ethereum. For this we are going to understand the particularities, we will use Remix, an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that allows us to compile and deploy smart contracts on the Ethereum network and resources that will allow you to continue learning Solidity.

Enjoy this Workshop that was presented at ETHLatam in Bogotá on October 10, 2022.
