Suitable for a general audience. *3-5 PM:* Learn how to implement a Caliper "sensor library" in order to emit events in a standard format. Attendees will set up an in-browser development environment, and then do a couple of exercises to create a bit of shim code between a provided sample application and the caliper-js sensor.
