WWCode Connect Asia 2019

Women Who Code - CONNECT 2019 was held on August 31,2019 at the Lifelong Learning Institute in Singapore.



This event was sponsored by some of the largest names in tech: JPMorgan, StackOverflow, Google, facebook and many more.

This was participated by  WWCode Singapore, WWCode Kuala Lumpur, WWCode Tokyo, WWCode Seoul, WWCode Manila, WWCode Taipei, WWCode Delhi, WWCode Hyderabad, WWCode Beijing, WWCode Mumbai, WWCode Bangalore, WWCode Chennai, WWCode Shanghai, and WWCode Melbourne.


The event was opened by Amanda Hill-Attkisson, the Program Innovation Director of WWCode, who shared the Global Keynote. She introduced WWCode and its vision, networks, highlights, and upcoming events.

Women Who Code is a non-profit organisation founded in Los Angeles with a special set of programs curated for engineers to build on the careers they want. 
They also have coding resources that you could look into and helps women to have a community to support them, especially in the tech world. 


The next keynote was about Community, which was presented by Chee Yim Goh, WWCode Director in Kuala Lumpur.

She asks which among all three reciprocity types will succeed.
This was from the book Give and Take by Adam Grant.
All of these 3 - Givers, takers, and matchers all can— and do— achieve success. But there’s something distinctive that happens when givers succeed: it spreads and cascades. Givers succeed in a way that creates a ripple effect, enhancing the success of people around them.

After the keynotes, we had breakfast and some personal networking. We were roaming around the booth, taking pictures and meeting new friends in the community. After breakfast, we attended some technical workshops and training for the whole day.

  • Cybersecurity by Magda Lilia Chelly

Addresses the importance of secure coding practices and the overall misconceptions of developers about cyber security and crucial concepts.
People, Process and Technology  - 3 pillars of cyber defence strategies
Security is everyone’s responsibility.

  • Cloud Run: From Code to Serverless with Containers presented by Thirumalai Aiyalu, a Cloud Solutions Engineer from Google Cloud.

Serverless means that you build your application with no Infrastructure Management and you only pay for your usage.
Containers are awesome but we need to make sure that we solve problems like scaling, scheduling, updates, service discovery, monitoring, health-checks, and orchestration. which can be delivered by using a platform like Kubernetes.


  • Uncovering Project Amber in Java by Mala Gupta

Project Amber is transforming Java’s basic language constructs and introducing features to enhance productivity and coding experience. This session covers how these additions and modifications impact the way to read or write code.
She also discussed the new features in Java 13.
And Java 13 was released last 17 September 2019.

The conference ended with a Panel interview with Daphne Choong, CTO of Unixus Solutions, and Choy Peng Wu, CTO of GIC Pte Ltd. They were interviewed by Yue Lin Choong, Director of WWCode Singapore.

They shared about their journey from when they were first starting up to where they were now. Their advice inspired me in so many ways and I feel empowered to apply this to both my professional and personal life.


Take-aways!
I’m really happy to be able to attend this kind of event. Thank you Home Credit. And...
Reflecting on my experience and thoughts after this event, I realized that the best part about connecting with other people is the exchange of knowledge And Empowering each other.

"Google play services are updating" - error on Android Mobile devices





So it's Friday today and it's difficult if you try to commute. I've decided to use Wunder Pool App but there was an error like this 'Google play services are updating' and then I've tried to update the app and re-open it again but same error occured.



I tried Grab (because there is no Uber anymore in the Philippines) same error happened.


 And this solution work for me:

Settings > Program > Google Play-Services > Storage capacity > Manage Space > Clear all data.

So what really happens? The latest update of Google Play Services (version 12.6.73) reportedly broke Google Maps integration with location sharing for some apps. ( According to Google Product Forums and Google’s Issue Tracker)

Shopee PH Review 2017




I just want to share my experience shopping at Shopee. So I got curious when I saw a Facebook ad that Shopee was selling low priced item. So I 
downloaded it from playstore. Shopee app is like a mobile marketplace, buy and sell.

After that I try to browse some some of there products
ang Shopee was a platform for buyers and sellers. Sellers have credit/review points and theres a badge for verified/trusted sellers.Some of sellers have different types of mode of payment. When you view the Seller's page you'll see there Top Products, Recent products and you  can filter it according to what category you like. You can also view the customer reviews per product, which is helpful.s

So I tried to purchase a dress from RitakuFashion
to give it as gift for my sister last May. So this was the product I purchased, worth 200 pesos and it was stated there that it was FREE Shipping. Of course, this was really a good deal so I click the Buy Now button. Then I contact the seller to check if the product is available. You can below our conversation. The payment mode I chose wad BPI online transfer. After my payment, the seller said me to cancel the order. Then I asked why, She said on the shipping fee. And they will pay 165 for that.

Then I was busy and forgot my purchased until the delivery date has come.
I don't receive any parcel. 
So I contacted the seller the next day which is May 17 in the morning.
It looks like she's blaming me for this.

Then I ask for refund, I tried to fill up the refund online form of the app
but It gives me SERVER ERROR
She said that her boss don't make refund for that.
Then I replied that I already paid for the item, It's just like scam because I don't receive anything.She said that they haven't receive any money. I was like desperate to get my money back and contacted the Shopee via Messenger. I called Shopee's telephone number for the first time, the customer representative told me that I should include  my bank account details on my profile so they could transfer the money. After few days, I've checked my account but still i haven't receive my money :(

So I called again and said they will issue a ticket
for this and they will give an update within 24 hours.
So I waited but I don't receive any calls. So after a week I email them, I receieve a auto-generated email.  Then another Customer Representative email me.

As of now, I haven't recieve my money. My concern was still in progress after three months 

I'm still hoping and waiting get my money back.


Overall Review:

Shopee:
Customer Service was not okay but depends on the representative. 
There are some bugs if you use the app, better to use the website.

Sellers:
Just be careful dealing with sellers. Check the reputation/reviews.

One Snub Is Not Enough for RIM




The Ontario-based smartphone magnate may be no longer at the top of its game. Many people are switching to other gadgets because BlackBerrys are no longer the star of the smartphone industry. Many have decided to sell Blackberrys in the course of last year and this year too. The people shifted to other cooler brands like iPhones and Android phones. Some have considered Nokia, HTC and Motorola phones. One cannot blame the shift. Since people need more than just a smartphone, it seems that BlackBerry phones are stagnant and not responding to market needs. They are known to cater one specific market: The corporate and the government. However, even people in their market need more than just a BlackBerry.

RIM just received major blows from the US government since several agencies will no longer require their services. The security features are what make these phones a federal favorite. However, over the years, this has been changing:

The Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement decided to swap their BlackBerry phones to Apple’s iPhones because the former can no “longer meet the mobile technology needs of the agency.” They released this decision in the month of October.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Credit Union Administration stopped BlackBerry handheld devices this year.
The Defense Department declared another decision about Ontario’s RIM. It announced last week that it has plans for buying a mobile device management system that supports Android and Apple smartphones but possibly will not support BlackBerrys.

That’s could be a reason why the government may want to sell used Blackberry phones. The shift does not exempt RIM’s most famous political client – Barack Obama. He is known to be a BlackBerry patron. However, recently, the President running for a second term is seen using an iPad.

Chief Information Officer for National Credit Union Administration Ronnie Levine says that “The user expectation has changed.” Employees in the agency have been carrying iPhones at all times. Chad Tucker, the administration’s chief for IT Operations, says that out of 1,200 employees, nearly 1,000 use Apple’s smartphone. They have decided to break their bonds with RIM even as the BlackBerry maker ensures their flagship smartphone and improved app release early next year. Tucker says “It was too little too late.”

Like other smartphone magnates, RIM does not disclose their federal market share. However, RIM claims to have one million government customers in North America alone; including the federal government. RIM’s Vice-President for Government Solutions Paul Lucier says that “We are going through a very major transition and we knew it would be challenging, and we are overcoming those [challenges].” Even though people chose to sell Blackberry phones online, more than 400,000 government customers chose to upgrade to newer BlackBerry units last fiscal year. “It’s great to see people upgrading those devices because oftentimes we have people comparing the latest devices in the market to a device that’s four [or] five years old,” Lucier says. The Ontario-based company is said to release a mobile device management solution that will allow agencies to regulate Apple, BlackBerry and Android smartphones.

I Didn’t Expect the iPad 4





“What? I was here for the iPad Mini! I did not know about this. What exactly happened? I should sell my Blackberry soon.” You may have heard this from many of the people who watched the press release of Apple on October 23. Everybody was waiting for the iPad Mini but they came up with something different. Invitations should now come with warnings. Everybody was very excited about the release of the talked-about iPad Mini. What does it look like? Would it be very “mini”? Will it perform well like any other iPad? The specs, are they as impressive as the other iPads? Wait. Any thoughts about the iPad 4? Apparently not.

If you want to get the best reactions, let the element of surprise work its magic. People speculated that the iPad Mini would be released in this last quarter. They even analyzed which date Apple would call the press, and their predictions came true. However, they didn’t anticipate the iPad 4. Well, no one did. The magic of the surprise was effective because of Apple’s discretion. First, the Cupertino-based company released the latest laptop models, the iMac in two different sizes. Both have the same features, with the size as the only exception. These laptops come with powerful RAMs, expanded memories, and an impressive Retina Display. All come in a laptop that is very light and thin at the same time. The supposed main star, the iPad Mini, stayed true to its promise. How could it not when many had decided to sell Blackberry and Lumia phones online? This mini giant comes with a 7.9-inch touchscreen display with a remarkable 1024 x 768-pixel resolution. The A5 processor is installed to give fast and easy use. Like any other iPad, the iPad Mini will surely hit high market demands.



The unexpected iPad 4 also impressed many spectators of the press release. Without any doubt, this device is meant to be praised and bought by the public and tech experts alike. Are you not content with the 7.9-inch tech goblin? Then this 9.7-inch monster is here to roar its prowess. All the normal iPads mostly have the same specs but the iPad 4 brings more than just your typical iPad magic. The iPad 4 almost has the same specs as the latest iPad 3. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi and 4G LTE. A one GB RAM is implanted in the gadget and its memory ranges from 16 GB to 64 GB. One of the differences between both gadgets is the front camera. Instead with a 0.3 MP camera in the previous iPad, the latest one has a 1.3 MP camera. Another difference is the chip processor. In the previous model, a 1 GHz dual core A5x chip is installed while the iPad 4 has a 1.3 GHz dual core A6x chip processor. I would sell my blackberry for this one.

Will it become a landmark in the tablet PC industry? Only time can tell. Only the people can decide. Only Apple can pull off something as grandiose and surprising as this. The iPad 4 is out but is it ready to woo you?

RIM Courts Gamers to BlackBerry 10

Courting is an exciting and sweet moment. You try to persuade the one you like, or even love, to go with you and share memories together. You become lovers, become close, and create a bond far stronger than what you usually have. Courting may also imply that you have to present what you are and what you can be for the love of your life. Courting may be both successful or a failure. Knowing that you tried makes you realize that you should not cry over spilled milk. However, the pain must be endured. In the smartphone industry, BlackBerry’s makers are taking a strong grip on the market. That’s why many have sold their Blackberry phones online. RIM is trying to court people. They are not courting executives or experts but game developers.

RIM’s BlackBerry Jam Americas Event in San Jose, California highlighted BlackBerry 10’s gaming capabilities of RIM’s future operating system. The BlackBerry demonstrated how good it is in terms of gaming and apps. It even presented usage of other operating systems’ apps. They say that these iOS and Android apps may be debuting in BlackBerry phones once the BlackBerry 10 is released. Why would RIM want to do this very drastic move? The makers of the well-loved phone want to show their flagship smartphone as a game-friendly and gaming smartphone, like the iPhone 5 and Samsung S3. This could mean that RIM is expanding their market and realizing which areas they lack. In order to make the gaming phones, they need developers to make games. There’s no point of making it for gaming when they are only a handful of gaming apps for the BlackBerry 10.

It is pretty hazy how game developers will react to RIM’s aggressive move. Game developers may have to decide what games they want to develop for the BlackBerry 10. RIM is very open to developers with the phone’s codes to create games for the flagship phone. Developers can now submit applications for BlackBerry’s App World within the month. Mr. Taylor has initiated the move. He says that these drastic changes will help make the future BlackBerry 10 gamer-friendly and will increase the phone’s potential in mobile gaming. That could explain why many people have sold old Blackberry phones.

BlackBerry phones were always known for their corporate-friendliness. The multi-tasking features and instant messaging are some of RIM’s highlight in their phones. This may be the reason why up until now BlackBerry phones still have sales, even though they are not on top of the game. Because of the rigid specifications and market they feed, RIM phones could not catch up with the dynamic of the entire smartphone industry. RIM was so focused on corporate phones that they didn’t realize that now most smartphone users include the general mass, the youth, and the tech savvy. To remedy this mistake, they have to make BlackBerry 10 that can address both the corporate market and the dynamicity of the smartphone industry. Even though many sell Blackberry phones because they have lost hope, RIM still remains firm and dedicated and hopeful to succeed with their BlackBerry 10 in the future.

One Step at a Time for BlackBerry 10



American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks sang “One Step At A Time.” The song became such a sensational hit that it became one of Spark’s remarkable songs. The song reached the Billboard top charts. Debuting during the season finale in the show’s seventh season, the song received positive criticism. Billboard’s Chuck Taylor says that the song was “a beautifully blended, soulful number percolating with optimism.” Entertainment Weekly considers the song a “sudden epiphany that Jordin Sparks has put out three good songs in a row.” However, RIM is not in the same position as that of the singer. After hardening itself from severe criticisms, the smartphone manufacturer has received another critique by analyst Peter Misek. You might want to say, “I want to sell my Blackberry” because of all this mess.

The song is allusive to RIM’s current situation. Interestingly, the song starts with the paragraph:

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

People have been waiting and vehemently waiting for BlackBerry 10’s release. The manufacturer has moved the release from 2012 to 2013. Now, Misek says that instead of January, BB 10 would be released in March because BB is not entirely ready for it. As the second paragraph says:

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

RIM has been trying to please big companies to make a good launch of their future flagship phone. They have been trying hard to get huge inventories from carriers to distribute their products and they are still looking for big companies to license their operating system. However much effort they exert, they are still shut down. They certainly feel frustrated. That’s why many sell used Blackberry phones. The chorus is an allegory of what RIM always says about their current state:

We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

RIM’s Thorsten Heins says that climbing the mountain takes one step at a time. He is honest enough to confess that their company is not in its best shape but he is honest to say that the BlackBerry 10 will be their redeemer. They have learned from their experience of being insensitive to the market’s needs. The BlackBerry 10 was analyzed to be released in March. That means financial loss for RIM. They don’t have the financial resources to fuel the company and release the phone. In the end, the song concludes:
When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
when you need to find the strength
It's your faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time
Even though many sell Blackberry phones, RIM should believe it will rise to the occasion.

Internet Is the New Market




Agora used to be the most commercially active place in the Western World. Etymologically speaking, it comes from the Greek word meaning “gathering place” or “assembly.” Ancient Greeks gathered at the agora to discuss relevant issues including art, politics, religion, and philosophy. The agora was where people argued and shared their thoughts with the public. They discovered who was wrong or correct, or the “more correct” in that matter. The agora was a dynamic place. However, times have changed. The internet is the new agora and the internet is truly dynamic. Like the agora, you can discuss current relevant issues like politics and love. The internet did not limit itself to just being a place of discussion but a place to sell BlackBerry phones and other gadgets.

The internet is similarly dynamic as human beings themselves. How the internet evolves is reflective on how human beings have changed in the past few years. Since convenience is done only with the use of the internet, people would have wanted to do things on the internet. You want to read the hottest news? You want to know how to get there? You wish to see Paris in seconds? You hope to earn money? You want to have a bachelor’s degree? The internet will positively answer all these types of questions. In these hard times, you really want to earn a lot of money. The internet can certainly help you. All you have to do is take a little leap of faith.
When you deal with money, you always hesitate. It is natural to be cautious but being aware and knowledgeable of the ins and outs of the internet is a big advantage especially to those who have no idea how to do things. The internet can provide you a spectrum of avenues to money making from transcribing to selling BlackBerrys. Here are some suggestions to earn money online:

Writing
Websites need articles. You do not see websites without text. From social networking sites to blogs, articles are needed. If you have the niche in writing and you need that extra cash, writing can be your avenue to earn cash and fulfill your passion for writing.

Data Entry
This job is very simple. You just have to input data in a program. This is probably a no-brainer job but be careful, this job is for those who are very particular to details. One mistake can equate to loss of your job. So, those who want a challenge in a non-challenging place will find this job fun.

Sell Gadgets
If you don’t want an online job, then selling is the best way to earn money. All you need is some functional, even broken and unused, cell phones and you just sell them online. Since many of us have old gadgets just sitting at home, you might as well use them to earn money. For example, when you have BlackBerry phones at home, you may want to sell them online on websites like Gazelle, CashforBerry.com, NextWorth, and BuyBackWorld. They just let you go through a process and you get cash fast. It’s pretty easy to sell BlackBerry phones online.

The Budget Desktop Replacement From Dell




When people think of desktop replacement laptops, usually expensive laptops come to mind. Almost all of them have powerful processors that are also paired up with powerful video cards, thus making them also gaming laptops.

How about the people who do not need those features? Well, Dell has an answer for that – the Inspiron 17R SE. For those looking for a big laptop without the need for extreme features, this will serve you well.

Design

The Inspiron 17R is a desktop replacement, but it doesn’t have the imposing frame its peers are known for. Rather, the 17R has a softer appeal, great for mainstream users who aren’t interested in playing games.

Being a 17 – inch laptop, you’re bound to have some weight to carry. Weighing at 7.27 pounds, that’s certainly a lot of weight, but better than most laptops of the same screen size.

Since this is a budget laptop, expect some compromises when it comes to the body. The bottom is made of plastic. Thankfully, the top lid is made of aluminum with a honeycomb pattern that looks nice. The aluminum design is also found in the palm rest.

Display

Featuring a wonderful 17.3 – inch screen, the 17R has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It’s great because it compliments all of your HD videos.

Aside from that, the laptop has more than enough brightness to fill up a dark room. You can watch a movie comfortably in the dark with this laptop. To help with glare, Dell even supplies this laptop with a matte screen.

Due to its purpose of being a multimedia laptop, the display has good viewing angles, allowing you to watch movies with a friend or two.

Hardware

In terms of hardware, the laptop actually impresses. 

The processor is a quad – core i7 Ivy Bridge processor, the 3610QM. It’s actually a great processor because many gaming laptops offer it as a default offering. It’s a very capable processor allowing you to do heavy duty tasks such as rendering videos without any problems.
For graphics, you are provided with the fastest budget NVIDIA graphics card, the GeForce GT 650M. It’s a graphics card that actually turns the laptop into a decent gaming machine. You’ll find it in ultraportable boutique laptops.

How does it perform? You can play some demanding games on it, such as Diablo III. It runs at a smooth 29 fps on ultra at 1080p. Even Starcraft II runs at a playable 41 fps at 1080p. Some other games though can’t be played. The ultra – demanding Dirt Showdown moves along at a slow 19 fps with everything maxed out. However, reducing the image settings to High allows you to play at 47 fps.

Memory is at 6 GB, which is normal for budget laptops. Since this you’ll mostly be using this laptop for simple tasks, it’s more than enough. Storage comes at a measly 1 TB HDD. That’s enough, but it doesn’t compare to an SSD.

For the adventurous though, you can always install an SSD yourself.

Conclusion

Dell has created a great budget laptop for just 1,160 dollars. It manages to impress thanks to its decent gaming abilities and quad – core processor.

Well, this is better than your old laptop, so if you have decided to sell your laptop be sure that you will only transact to legitimate companies like Cash4Laptops.com.

Protecting Your Laptop Software



So you just bought a new laptop and sold old laptop. Congratulations! However, a computer is one of the most fragile things ever created, especially when it comes to software. Just mess up on little things and then everything goes down the drain. Examples include getting viruses, which are nasty occurrences.

With that in mind, you need to be aware of protecting your software at all times, because you never know when something could go wrong.

Keep in mind these things when you have a new laptop:

Antivirus Software
One of the first things you need to do when you turn on your new laptop is installing antivirus software. It is imperative you protectyour laptop from any viruses, because if you don’t you’ll notice a drop in performance.

If you bought a laptop, normally they come with trial versions of antivirus software. These are great, because they already work. To get the full features though, just pay a small fee.
Other times, free antivirus software works great too, such as Microsoft Security Essentials. Just make sure you scan your computer every week.

Updating the Software
If your laptop comes with preinstalled software, you better make sure they are updated. That’s because updated software allows better protection from viruses and hackers.

Programs like Google Chrome, Adobe Flash and other things like that all require regular updates. If you install them, don’t ignore the updates that come with them afterwards. They’ll definitely help you in the long run.

Create a System Restore
Eventually, you’ll want to branch out and experiment with your operating system. Sometimes, those experiments go haywire. That’s where a System Restore comes in.


A System Restore allows you to return to the last working condition of Windows, where all of the settings and everything else are restored to their normal condition, as if nothing happened.

It’s a great tool to have, especially for those who like to tinker with computers. You can set how often Windows will save restore points such as weekly or daily so you can pick the latest one.

Remove Bloatware
Other times, manufacturers ship laptops with plenty of software to sweeten the deal. Some are useful, while some are not. Useful software includes Adobe programs. You’ll definitely use them in the future.

Examples of useless programs include additional menus that look similar to Mac OS X, Other examples include webcam software, which a lot of people don’t really need, especially when they’re not into webcam sessions.

Create an Admin Account
If other people are going to use your computer, sooner or later someone is bound to mess it up. Prevent this from happening by creating an administrator account.

There, you’ll be able to control everything other people do, such as installing software. You can prevent them from installing anything by asking them to enter a password, which of course, they don’t know.

The benefit of this strategy is significant, especially for those who have internet cafes.

Conclusion
By following these simple tips, you’ll be able to preserve the life of Windows. You won’t have to reinstall the OS every 6 months or sell your laptop to have a new one.You can leave it longer if you like.
