Join us for DevFest Northeast 2020!
It's DevFest time! Our GDG communities have hosted great DevFests year after year & are keeping the momentum going in 2020.
This year GDGs of the Northeast Region will be joining forces to bring you the content you crave from speakers you love!
Join us for a socially connected but physically distant DevFest on Saturday October 31, 2020 from 10:00am - 3:00pm EST
Agenda:
10:00 AM - 10:15 AM Intro & Welcome
10:10 AM - 11AM Sara Robinson
Talk Title: Baking with Machine Learning Demo
Learn how Sara trained a machine learning model that predicts what you are trying to bake - a cake, a bread or a cookie.
See a demo how the model works in a web app, all done using Google Cloud Platform's services:
- TensorFlow & Keras
- AI Platform Predictions
- Cloud Storage
- Cloud Functions
- Firebase Hosting
You can try Sara's ML model for yourself & even invent new delicious recipes!
Speaker Bio:
Sara Robinson is a Developer Advocate for Google Cloud, focusing on machine learning. She inspires developers & data scientists to integrate ML into their applications through demos, online content, & events. Before Google, she was a Developer Advocate on the Firebase team. Sara has a Bachelor's degree from Brandeis University. When she's not writing code, she can be found on a spin bike or eating frosting.
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Frank van Puffelen
Talk Title: Puf will take you From zero to app: live-coding with Firebase & StackBlitz on the web
Getting started with web development has never been easier. In this talk Frank will live code two complete web apps from scratch, without copy/pasting any snippets. Both apps will be built on StackBlitz & will use Firebase for their back-end services.
Speaker Bio:
Frank (or Puf) is an engineer for Firebase at Google. He helps developers build extraordinary apps that use Firebase as their back-end. If you've ever asked a Firebase question on StackOverflow, you've probably met Frank already.
12:00 PM - 12:30 PM Break
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Scott Stoll
Talk Title: RenderFlex children have non-zero flex but incoming height constraints are unbounded
You are not crazy. You are not alone. We all have nightmares about seeing these words in the Red Screen of Death. It's like quicksand, the more you fight the deeper you sink, & the worse it gets.
"I'm from the government, I'm here to help."
The trick to understanding why this happens is to understand a few different things, & then think about them together. Flexibles, flex, FlexFit, double.infinity, & Constraints can all come together to produce a reactive UI that works beautifully or a Red Screen of Death that will haunt your nightmares. In this talk, I'll help you learn how to kill the RenderFlex Boogeyman, & be just like John Wick.
Speaker Bio:
Scott Stroll has been involved with Flutter since v0.0.14 (Alpha), working both nationally & internationally as a Flutter Application Developer & Content Creator. Additionally, he has spoken & taught on Flutter at convention events in the United States, Canada, & the United Kingdom, as well as many smaller groups & meetup organizations throughout the United States.
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Dan Sullivan
Talk Title: With Automated Machine Learning, Is Everyone Now a Machine Learning Engineer?
No, not even close. Automated machine learning tools, like Google Cloud's AutoML only automate a fraction of the work need to build quality, production-grade machine learning models. This presentation outlines what automated ML does well, like choosing an algorithm & optimizing hyperparameters, & what it does not do so well, such as formulating a business problem amenable to ML. The talk will focus on four areas where developers familiar with machine learning are needed: formulating problems, engineering data, evaluating the fairness of models, & monitoring & maintaining models in production.
Speaker Bio:
Dan Sullivan is a Principal Engineer with PEAK6 Technologies. He is a software architect & data scientist with extensive experience in data science, machine learning, & cloud architecture. Dan is the author of the official Google Cloud study guides for the Professional Architect, Professional Data Engineer, & Associate Cloud Engineer certification exams as well as the instructor of over a dozen courses on machine learning, data science, & cloud computing on LinkedIn Learning & Udemy. He holds a Ph.D. in genetics, bioinformatics, & computational biology with a focus on infectious disease genomics.
2:30 PM - 3:00 PM - Raffle / Wrap-up / Closing Remarks
