<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMBS\nstudents have been given an opportunity to spend an entire Saturday afternoon\nat the Developer Space @Google Singapore, listening to the different speakers\nfrom different backgrounds on the latest happenings in the technological scene\nsuch as Progressive Web Application, Modern Programming Languages for Android and\nMachine Learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special\nthanks to the organisers for bringing developers from different backgrounds to\nnetwork together and also provide us an opportunity to visit the Google office!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s what one of our Master Students had\nto share about their experience during the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis event\nis ideal for those who want to pursue a career in IT, coding etc. It was also\nworthy for the people who roles like Human Resources, as it gave them an\nopportunity for networking as well as understanding the work-life balance in\nSingapore. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It gave us an opportunity to listen as well as interact with various\ntechnology experts which enlightened us with new ideas and skills. Out of all\nthe seminars, Platform AppCompat and Now Material, and Google Technical\nRecruiter: Crafting Your Winning Resume and Acing Your Interviews were the two\nseminars that caught my attention the most. From the seminar, we understood\nthat, when current versions of Android updates are published, Google will be\nsupporting the older version of those applications. To be precise, AppCompat is\na bunch of support libraries that can be utilised to make the apps developed\nwith current versions to work with the prior versions. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The seminar of crafting your winning resume and acing your interviews, gave us a lot of ideas about how to get placed in Google. Gaining some technical skills is a must for applying to Google. Candidates earn brownie points in the eyes of the recruiter if they participated in any programming competitions & hackathons or went to any industry internships. But, above all they look out for critical thinking, leadership skills, role-related knowledge and \u201cgoogleyness\u201d in a candidate. Googleyness is a term that Google uses that means \u201cenjoying fun\u201d, \u201ccomfort with ambiguity\u201d and \u201cIntellectual humility\u201d among many other traits. Besides, we walked away from the event with goodies like T-shirts, stickers, sticky notes. We can all conclude that Google never fails to put a smile on everyone\u2019s face.<\/em>\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Google Developer Group (GDG) Singapore celebrated its 10th year anniversary with DevFest Singapore 2019 on 30 November 2019.
