SUMMARY:Virtual "Show and Tell" of Projects by the Community
DESCRIPTION:Ready to showcase your creativity and ingenuity? Want to see what fun\, cool\, and innovative projects community members are working on? Then get ready for our Monthly Creative Exchange! \nThis is your chance to: \nShowcase Your Craft: Experimenting with AI or trying to kickstart a new app? This is your stage! Demo your latest creations\, share your process\, and spark inspiration in others. Projects do not have to be perfect or completely refined to help inspire others. \nThe Creative Exchange: Need a second pair of eyes on an app you’re building? Or maybe you’re looking for a collaborator? Tap into our collective to get the feedback or partnership you need to level up. \nFound a new “toy” or app that’s completely leveled up your creative flow? We want to see it in action! Come give us a quick demo of the tools or techniques that are making your work fun again. Your “aha!” moment might be exactly the inspiration someone else needs to break through a creative block. \nDemo and “Show and tell” sessions should be shared as brief and impactful “lighting” talks. All talks will be time boxed to 7 minutes. Got something to share? Sign up using the following Google Form. https://forms.gle/gXSoEPL7Z7QXrWpQ6 \nAgenda \n— \nHosted By \nJavier Carrion\, GDG Organizer \nHi everyone!

SUMMARY:SQL Fall Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re building your first app\, navigating your first job\, or just trying to make sense of all the data around you — learning SQL will save you hours and make you way more effective. \nIn this session\, we’ll walk through the essentials of SQL in a hands-on\, no-pressure format. You’ll connect to a real dataset\, write actual queries\, and start seeing patterns in data that were just noise before. \nWe’ll cover: \n* Pulling and filtering rows (SELECT\, WHERE)\n* Sorting and slicing data (ORDER BY\, LIMIT)\n* Counting\, summing\, and grouping\n* Joining multiple tables to build richer results\n* Writing logic into your queries (CASE\, filters\, basic metrics) \nThis is a working session. You’ll be querying from the start using a simple browser-based tool. \nWho this is for:\nIf you’re early in your dev journey and want to be more fluent in data — this is for you. Even if you’ve never touched SQL. Even if you’ve forgotten everything from that one data class. \nIf you’re a few steps ahead\, come sharpen your skills and help others along. \n**Important**\nBring a laptop.\nWe will be using a web based tool so nothing to install.
