GDG Cloud Vancouver invites you to join us in our Talk Night: Firebase & TensorFlow!
Do you want to learn about Firebase? Do you want to learn TensorFlow? GDG Cloud Vancouver invited two experts from each field in Vancouver for us to learn about them. We have invited Matt Kaufman, GDG LA organizer and CTO of MK Partners, and Martin Gorner, Gogle Developer Advocate and TensorFlow expert who has spoken in many events including Cloud Next and I/O.
Building a backend for your app with Firebase
Maintaining server infrastructure is time consuming and complex. Google's Firebase provides a rich Platform-as-a-Service that allows you to focus on development instead of IT. In this session you'll learn how to use Firebase Functions and Firestore to create a powerful backend for your application.
Tensorflow, deep learning and modern convolutional neural nets
The hottest topics in computer science today are machine learning and deep neural networks. Many problems deemed ""impossible"" only five years ago have now been solved by deep learning: playing GO, recognizing what is in an image, or translating languages. Software engineers are eager to adopt these new technologies as soon as they come out of research labs, and the goal of this session is to equip you to do so. This session will focus on the newest developments in image recognition and convolutional neural network architectures and give you tips, engineering best practices, and pointers to apply these techniques in your projects. No PhD required.
Also, there will be dinner so come hungry!
