About the Talk
Using Kubernetes, JupyterHub, and DigitalOcean, The Data Incubator – an immersive data science bootcamp and the leading training and placement organization in the world – was able to scale and offer their curriculum to an online class of 20,000 students in Subsaharan Africa – for free.
In this Tech Talk, Michael Li and Robert Schroll will speak about how The Data Incubator’s training success depends on an integrated Jupyter notebook-based learning management system. They will discuss some of the challenges in learning data science and their solutions. The talk will also feature a use case showing how they built a learning management system in the cloud using Docker and Kubernetes to dynamically provision interactive learning environments for students that allow dynamic code execution and integrate with live code examples. This has enabled them to scale their curriculum to tens of thousands of students in the developing world – simultaneously. The Data Incubator relies on DigitalOcean’s cloud infrastructure, which allows their team to focus on doing what they do best – delivering world-class data science education to students all over the world.
Darian Wilkin – a Solutions Architect at DigitalOcean – will also discuss how the DigitalOcean products and services used have enabled The Data Incubator to scale up so quickly and easily.
What You’ll Learn
– How to build an interactive data science curriculum– How to scale using Kubernetes and JupyterHub– How you can use DigitalOcean solutions to achieve all the above
This Talk is Designed ForThose interested in education, innovative learning environments, data science, immersive bootcamps, Kubernetes, JupyterHub, and DigitalOcean.
PrerequisitesSome familiarity with Kubernetes, Jupyter, or data science would be useful. But we will also break these things down and offer explanations for those who may not be fluent in these subjects.

Sept 2020 -Growing A Culture of Quality by Simon Prior of UK
2020-09-29 20:00 - 21:00 | Online event
Title : Growing A Culture of QualitySpeaker – Simon Prior of UKAbstract:
Long ago there was a time where testing was purely seen as an activity by a siloed team who executed 1000’s of tests towards the end of a project. In the modern world, this is still a very real situation in some companies, but on the whole, testing as a collaborative, continuous activity is much more the norm. But getting to that stage is not easy. For some reason, there has historically been a stigma attached to testing as a lesser activity that slows down the release of a project. Changing such mindset is a huge obstacle to get over. In places where testing is perceived in a negative light, it is possible to move forward, but it will take hard work to change the mindset of the people who don’t know better. You need to use the power of persuasion, while coaching and building collaborative best practices that tech teams can buy into. In this talk, I will walk through ways to get Testing at the table for discussions and build a culture of Quality, where the business accepts the value that testing brings and helps fight our corner when needed. Bio: Simon is heading up the Core QA team at EasyJet. In his career he has worked in various roles across IT before finally finding his passion in Testing. He’s worked in various domains from CyberSecurity, Gaming/Gambling and now the Airline industry. He has a keen interest in finding ways to improve the testing process and ensuring products are released with the highest possible quality. He also loves coaching/mentoring his team to be the best they can, enabling them to use all possible tools and skills to get their job done to the best of their ability

2020-07-30 17:00 - 18:00 | Online event
Every business has a need to assess their business productivity, whether that be to track team progress, timesheets, inventory management, event management and so forth. However, business needs are changing rapidly and business tools can’t keep up. Moreover, most of these applications don’t work effectively on mobile devices. That’s where Honeycode comes in – to give businesses the ability to customize their own business productivity apps – and without having to write a single line of code.
In this session, we’ll talk about why Honeycode was developed, what it does, and give you a quick demo.
Speaker: Stephanie Chiao, AWS Developer SA TPMLevel: 100 (no coding background required)
