Interesting Tech Meetups

Some of the ways I get to keep myself updated with the technology in the field is through attending tech meetups and listening to podcasts. Here is a list of tech meetups I would recommend to any developer who lives in Singapore:

• Distributed App Development Club (DADC)

  • The Decentralised Apps Development club is a small group of people who meet regularly - think book club meets tech meetup. The goal is to collaboratively develop a DApp (decentralised app) together, learn a lot of new skills, and have fun in the process.

  • I have attended two sessions of DADC and like many other attendees, I found the sessions incredibly useful for gaining general knowledge of the blockchain sphere. One interesting thing I have learnt from DADC is Hedera Hashgraph (which is NOT a blockchain!).
  • Check out DADC here and join their telegram group for notifications of future events!

• talk.js

  • For JS developers, talk.js is one of the biggest monthly event held in Singapore. Their session starts off with pizza (and networking) and typically has 3-4 20 minutes talks.
  • Sign up for their next Meetup here!

• React JS Meetup

  • Spearheaded by Facebook, React is one of the most popular front-end web framework today. Similar to talk.js, Singapore’s biggest React Meetup holds monthly session which starts off with pizza (and networking) and typically has 3-4 20 minutes talks.
  • Sign up for their next Meetup here!

A general advice: Do sign up for these meetups early! The available slots tend to decrease fast as these monthly meetups are insanely popular.
