 Welcome to Creative Crew. It's a very cozy bunch of people. How many of you are here for the first time? None of you. How about you? Are you here for the first time? No, as well. Okay, actually a lot of you already know the contents of what I'm going to speak because it's just sharing some very practical ways on how to get involved with the tech community. And let me start with the... Since all of you already know here, I think... I don't know, Kingman is for me here for like 5 years in the tech community. No, no, no. Less than that? Leon, I know Leon for like 10 years. Since Creative Crew has been my first meetup where I ever spoke, she and I have also known for like 7 years. Pretty long. Genneth and you've known since the maker and film. So, what I want to say is that the community here, especially about the developer community, the maker community, or design community is very tightly knit and I can surely say that it's been going over the years. And every time I go to a tech meetup, you will surely see new faces. I'm not a good thing. And I would welcome all of you to visit these two sites which kind of summarizes what's going on. So, Rebuild SG is a site that will list all the upcoming events and these are typically free and open for anyone. And here you have open events and open source. And these are, by the way, welcome for any people. So, whether you want to know about data or Science Cafe or Azure, these are mostly like tech events, developer events. But if you are wondering what is it like to visit a meetup and what happens there, and Genneth of SG has recordings of the meetups. In fact, this meetup is being recorded by Genneth of SG. So, Kevin here is helping to record it. So, if you want to know what goes on in meetups, Genneth of SG is a great way to kind of balance on. So, Rebuild SG is for the future and Genneth of SG is for the past. I also want to point out CopeyJS. If you want a casual gathering of the geeks that makes the tech happen, the designers, developers, speakers, CopeyJS is the one. All we do, and Qian here is the organizer of CopeyJS, all we do is literally go to a cafe on a typical Saturday morning and drink Copey. So, if none of you have visited a CopeyJS, I also welcome you to visit it next year. So, going back to the slides, the third thing I would say is to visit a space. How many of you have visited a hacker space? I think most of you have, right? But there are also other spaces like OneMaker Group, which is in the National Design Center opposite library. There is also SL Square, which is in Taffel. There are also a lot of educational institutes that are having a maker or a hacker space. There are also art science museums that are very open to these kind of activities. So, if you're shy, just you can go and visit all these spaces. Next up is online groups. These are the three places that I hang out. There's Facebook and a few sort of Google for the meetup names. There is, for example, CSS Singapore, or even in Meetup. If you go and Google search for it, it's there. If not, of course, you can also go to rebuild.sg and it will gather all the meetups, strong Facebook meetup, and even write and gather them here. And the last one is Twitter as well. So, if you go to Twitter, especially there is also a Twitter account, engineers.sg, CopeyJS, or rebuildsg. And if you go to, say, the followers, if you go to the followers here, this is Yon's one. Sorry, oops, I'm going to Yon's one. Okay, so these are all the followers for rebuildsg. You can also follow them. There are a lot of tech groups here as well. So, these are the online groups that you can explore. Next is schools. To pick up seriously, design or development, or even making like wood crafting, metal work. These are the schools I would recommend. There's General Assembly, Alpha Camp. Does anybody know of any other schools? I think there are some boot camps that are happening in Singapore. But there are two more that I found out and I use a lot. One is Skills Future. How many of you know about Skills Future? Any of you, so what I did just like a couple of months ago, I wanted to learn machine learning on Coursera. And Skills Future, if you're a Singaporean, you can actually get the fees reimbursed by Skills Future. So this is a great way to take online courses. I've also gone on Udemy as well, Udemy.com, which is another online platform to take courses. So I highly recommend Skills Future, if you're a Singaporean, to take online courses. And seriously, there is networking, security, web development, hardware courses, as well as machine learning, data science, a lot of courses. Take it from Skills Future. I got my reimbursed amount of money as well, so it's really amazing. And the last thing is National Library, e-books. So how many of you have the National Library app on your phone? None of you, okay, great. So this is a new tip for all of you. I got to know about this very a few months ago. Before this, I would go to Amazon Kindle and buy the e-books, because I do not want to go physically to a library because we're all busy. But now I download the National Library. So if you're using Android or iPhone, you can go to NLD Mobile. So you just search on your app store, NLD Mobile. And this is really amazing. I have been listening to audiobooks and borrowing e-books as well. And I do not have to spend my money on Kindle anymore. I really save a lot. And they have a very, very good collection. So once again, if you are, I believe, even employment pass holders for a amount of fee, a low amount of fee, you can get National Library board membership. I highly, highly recommend you to download NLD Mobile. I'm a big fan of this. So NLD Mobile, please go and download it and start using it. It's really good. So one thing I want to say is NLD Mobile, it uses this app called Overdrive. So what happens is that you can download all your audio files if it is an audiobook or the book in Overdrive and you can listen to them or read them while you're commuting. Because during commute, you know, internet can be flaky. And if you want to save your mobile data, you can download the books here and you can basically listen to them and read them. So highly, highly recommend Skills Future and NLD for this. Next are conferences. There are a lot of tech conferences going on, especially developer conferences in Singapore. So if you are interested in programming languages such as PHP or Go More, Python or JavaScript, there is one in Singapore. I would say even five years ago, we didn't have so many conferences happening, but luckily we have. And if you are interested, you can even volunteer as one of the organizers for these conferences. Next up, Hackathon. Last weekend, right? Super silly hackathon in Singapore. Just last Saturday, there was a very... Oh my gosh, this website is so beautiful. It's once again made by Chian there. Cool, right? Super silly to make new friends. So you do not have to be serious about building something. Go there and just with your laptop and see what's going on and make new friends. There is also code extreme apps, which has been going on for a few years already. So join these hackathons and you get to make new friends and see cool ideas. Next up are competitions. This is a Singapore autonomous underwater vehicle competition, but there are also other competitions that goes around. These are also related to hardware or software or making in general. Finally, podcast. In fact, I saw you taking the podcast book. Okay? I listen to a lot of podcasts. How many of you listen to podcasts? Great. So you're on Android, iPhone? Both Android and iPhone. And what app do you use? I'm not so sure about Android, but on iPhone I used Overcast. So along with the National Library app, this is the something I listen to. An Overcast app inside here, I have many, many, many podcasts. I have the big web show, the data skeptic, embedded for hardware, Google, cloud platform podcast. Internet of things podcast. If you just go to Overcast for iPhone, and I believe Android also has a similar app, go and listen to it. Once again, download it while you are on Wi-Fi and you can listen to it while you're commuting. So podcast is once again a great way to get in touch with the tank. And finally meetups. So meetups such as Creative Crew. And there are also many other types of meetups. For example, programming language, hardware or maker meetups. They're also based on new technologies. For example, AI blockchain. But once again, if you go to engineers.sg, you will see various, various types of meetups here. And seriously, I think engineers.sg has how many? Ooh, look at this. Over 2,000, over 2,000 meetup talks. So for engineers.sg is how old? 4, 5 years old, I think. 20, 13, 4, 4 years old. 4, 5 years old. And you have over 2,000 talks being shared. So this is a great resource for you to know about the meetups going on. So how can you get involved? Firstly, I would say, well, you are already here at Creative Crew to attend other meetups. And if you're learning something, volunteer to speak at a meetup. And that's how I learned a lot of things. Because when I speak, it lets me clarify the topic I'm speaking about and also get audience feedback. So speak at it. And once you're friendly with the organizers and the audience, go and organize, help organize the meetup. So that's a great way. Finally, I want to end with this photo. This was at a Creative Crew meetup. I believe this was 2012 or something like that. And well, one of our old friends has just arrived. I'm just saying that this is one of the Creative Crew meetups I've spoken. I think maybe you remember it. It was at the National Library at Booges. And this was in 2012. I was talking about CSS when I was learning about WebJet. In fact, Creative Crew was my first meetup where I ever spoke in 2008. Almost 10 years ago. That's where I first spoke. But there is an interesting thing here. For all the audience, my future boss is sitting at the back right here. So, a great way, the tech community is a great way to not only learn, but get some really practical results out of it. And that's where Insomnia is like, hey, let's meet up and let's talk about it. So I hope you all take this chance to kind of explore the tech community in Singapore, Creative Crew and beyond and learn something out of it. Yeah, that's it. But I would welcome questions like if you have any questions about anything about podcasts or media. Thank you. Any questions? Right, so I guess Leon has something to say.
