Apple Store At Ginza, Tokyo

After the quick dinner at Shibuya with Anna and Meijoy, we headed to Ginza, Tokyo to check the biggest Apple Store in Japan. Read about this Apple Store in the Steve Jobs book and from then on, I promised to myself that I need to visit the store. Lucky enough that we had a training earlier this month, so I set it on my TODOs list when in Japan… to visit this Apple Store.

Finally arrived, checking if still open...

We arrived 15 minutes before closing time; store is open upto 9PM only. We didn’t waste any time and took photos. We asked the store personnel if we can take photos and said it’s okay. The personnel even asked us if we are from the United States and we replied… From Philippines!!! Haha… Read more…

BlackBerry DevCon Asia 2011 in Singapore

Thanks to BlackBerry through Mobile Monday Manila for the free conference pass for the recently concluded BlackBerry DevCon Asia 2011. It was suppose to be held in Bangkok but due to the recent flooding it was transferred to Singapore at the Suntec International Convention Center. And with that, we were entitled for travel incentives for the change of venue.

It was a 2-day event, December 7-8, 2011, with awesome break-out sessions. I am an Android developer and was so interested to join the conference since I want to expand my skills with mobile application development. And since BlackBerry uses C++/Java for its native programming, so yeah… I think it will be easy for me since I am familiar with those programming languages. 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…
