Hello Capital Region GDG enthusiasts, Join our community of like-minded developers and explore the latest Google Cloud technologies as a team. We will use the codelab “Get to Know Firebase for Web” to build a web app from scratch with Firebase and Stackblitz’s online editor. We’ll be using basic HTML and JavaScript to talk to Firebase. This is a great intro to using the Firebase console and integrating Firebase into an app. No extensive prior knowledge or software installations needed. You will use the google.dev (https://google.dev/topics/firebase) platform. Google.dev is optional and allows attendees to create a developer profile and save their progress within a codelab. If you have used google.dev before, great! Make sure you know your password. If you haven’t, save time by creating a new Google.dev account for yourself prior to the workshop day (creating an account is free).

GARAGE TALKS is a dynamic new series of keynote lectures and masterclasses that will explore issues of urbanism, community, and climate change.

The season of five events, hosted by the Troy Innovation Garage, will take place from September 2019 – May 2020 and will each feature a nationally-recognized speaker presenting case studies of urban problem solving in action. The Garage Talk series will culminate in a forum around public art in cities and produce a visually-rich publication documenting the yearlong conversation.

At each event, a panel of local leaders and thinkers from around the Greater Capital Region will respond to the visiting speaker’s presentation. The idea is to break down silos of provincial thinking even as we embrace the idiosyncrasies of our region—to draw out connections, lessons, best practices. All keynotes will be open to the public.

A Garage Talk Artist-in-Residence will live-illustrate each event, documenting the arc of the series as well as play a central role in the final event, which will include the creation of a commissioned piece of street art in the alleyways of Troy.
