Sui Developer Newsletter (#5) 

April 17, 2024

Welcome to the fifth edition of the Sui Developer Newsletter!

We are thrilled to announce a new edition of the Move book, which includes examples written in the new Move 2024 edition.

In case you haven't heard, Sui Overflow is Sui's first global virtual hackathon. Builders and devs from around the world are teaming up to push the boundaries of innovation on Sui across 8 tracks and compete for prizes. Learn more about the hackathon, join the dedicated Discord server, and start building now!

Do you want to showcase your tool, SDK, or other artifact that might be useful for developers building on Sui? We now accept submissions from the community through the GitHub repository. Check out the repository to find more information.

As always, we're eager for your feedback on what you'd like to see in the newsletter—tag @SuiNetwork on Twitter, join our Discord community, or post on the developer forums.
