This geek was at Google DevFest Manila 2011!
Yes, this geek was at Google DevFest Manila 2011. I flew to Manila last Sunday to attend the meetup of geeks last Monday, September 19, 2011 at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Conference Center in Makati City.
This is my third year attending DevFest, but now I am a volunteer which was assigned to help at the registration table. With me were my fellow GTUG Philippines members from Manila.
The event proper started a bit late just to accommodate all participants coming in; we have lots of walk-in too!
Christine Songco-Lau, SE Asia Lead for Google Developer Relations, started the program with a short keynote and followed by a couple of morning talks by Ankur Kotwal for Android Market for Developers ) and Bleeding Edge HTML5 by Eric Bidelman. Both topics were really insightful and interesting. Ankur focused on how to maximize the use of the Android Market features for Developers while Eric showed cool stuff with HTML5. Really enjoy his demo. Read more…

Exploring The New Google+
It’s the recent buzz in the social web, the Google’s social networking site – Google+. Launched last week, I got an invite few hours after it’s initial launching from GTUG friends. Currently, Google+ is in limited field trial which means you can publicly sign-up as of yet. You need an invite from a Google+ user for you to get in; ( leave a message if you want an invite.)
It is actually dubbed as the Google+ project: Real-life sharing rethought for the web. Many speculates it to be the Facebook killer. Also, many suggest that it is the combination of Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. Who knows? Just let Google+ surprise us as it is gaining grounds on the social web. Read more…
DevCon Java Code Camp Roadshow in Cebu
Last Friday, June 10, 2011, I attended the DevCon Java Code Camp Roadshow in Cebu City. It was a wholeday geek event created by the geeks for the geeks, that’s what DevCon is about. Held at the Santa Maria Grand Ballroom of Radisson Blu Hotel, many participated from the academe (both students and instructors), as well as from the industry (software engineers, developers, programmers, etc). And, I was happy to see some of my friends around and I got to chat with them a little.
The event was basically in coordination with the Cebu Business Month 2011 with its theme Business Beyond Boundaries, in partnership with the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) and the Association of Filipino Java Developers (PinoyJUG).
Mr. Jerry Rapes, President of DevCon Foundation, gave the opening remarks. He introduced the participants about the foundation and how technology is now compared to years ago. Also, Mr. Nonoy Espelita from the Cebu Chamber of Commerce talked about the organization and how the young people can contribute to the shaping of the future with the use of technology. Read more…
