Upcoming events (4+)
We're so excited to partner with Modern Web for our next event!
Come join us on June 13th from 6:30 - 8:00pm at Google Sunnyvale [MP1 Building (US-SVL-MP1), in the room called Hermann's Grid on the 2nd floor (US-SVL-MP1-2-Hermann's Grid)]!
We have some amazing speakers lined up for you:
Shruti Kapoor
“Canvas is cool: Building animations using only JS and HTML”
Did you know that you can build animations using vanilla JS? In about 20 minutes, we will build bubbles 🫧 on the screen using only html canvas api and vanilla JavaScript. Who knew JavaScript could be fun!
Marcus Hellberg
"Building a ChatGPT-based AI assistant for your own content"
ChatGPT works great for getting help with general questions. But if you try to ask questions about something that's too new or too niche, it gives you a wrong answer just as confidently. In this talk, you'll learn how you can use vector embeddings to provide ChatGPT custom context. This allows you to provide more relevant answers based on your project documentation or any other content.
Larry Safran
"Intro to gRPC"
Distributed applications and microservices can greatly increase the complexity of your development. You've decided to use gRPC to simplify this process, but are trying to figure out where to start. gRPC will take your remote method definitions, generate code stubs, coordinate communication, simplify security and make a remote procedure call nearly as easy as an in-process function call. We will walk through key concepts and examples in several languages to help get you started on your gRPC journey.
