#76 Using R to study Epidemiological Metrics
2020-05-20 18:00 - 20:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Online event
We welcome back as speaker Dr. Peter Julian Cayton from UP School of Statistics, who had also been working hard alongside the UP COVID-19 Pandemic Response Team the past few weeks.
The presentation will discuss the measures used and devised by the UP COVID-19 Pandemic Response Team to monitor the pandemic situation in the country. They involve the following statistics: cumulative plots, percent changes, implied doubling times, and recovery rates. Epidemiology-specific measures will also be discussed, which are: 1) the time-varying reproduction number Rt, and 2) outbreak threshold statistics, along with a few dashboards.
The talk will focus on the approach, but also showing how R functions help us study Rt.

[Webinar] Applying DevOps in Flutter mobile development
2020-05-18 18:00 - 19:00 | Online event
Welcome to Flutter At Home’s Webinar #3!
To know more about the event, please visit:http://athome.flutter.ph/
Speaker profile:Majid Hajian
Majid Hajian is a passionate software developer with years of developing and architecting complex web and mobile applications. He is passionate about web platform especially Flutter, IoT and PWAs. He loves sharing his knowledge with the community by writing and speaking, contributing to open source and organizing meetups and events. Majid is the award-winning author of “Progressive web app with Angular” book by Apress and “Progressive Web Apps” video course by PacktPub and Udemy. He is (co)organizer of a few mobile and web meetups in Norway as well as Nordic conferences for mobile and Angular, Mobile Era and ngVikings.
Talk:Adopting DevOps in mobile app development can be a game-changer and ensures teams become more productive in terms of execution and collaboration. On the other hand, Flutter is a new technology for developing beautiful cross-platform mobile/web and embedded apps with a single code base from Google surpassing many similar technologies such as React Native and has been growing very rapidly.
Nevertheless, there are many challenges while developing a mobile app, especially with Flutter such as CI/CD to Google Play and AppStore, bumping build or release version automatically, running test, checking code coverage, code style formatting, monitoring, crash analyzer, taking snapshots, running gold tests, code signing and sharing keys among team members effortlessly, writing changelogs. These are just some of the repetitive, time-consuming tasks which may lead an inconsistency too.
Although this talk will demonstrate how each of the mentioned challenges can be solved while developing a Flutter app, most of the ideas can be reused for any kind of mobile app development in order to boost productivity as well as developers, stack holders, and client satisfaction.

Talk:Effective App Architecture and State Management in Flutter
From the day that Flutter is announced, a lot of companies decided to use it in their production environments. Most of these companies have used it for projects from scratch and as we all know, deciding on an architecture for a brand new application is quite hard. Luckily, Flutter has a lot of great alternative approaches that can be used according to the suitable use-case.
In this talk, we are going to go over the Flutter’s State Management options, how we can use them and last but not least we will learn how we can put all of this information to create the best architecture for our application.
