I was one of the Google Students Ambassador in 2012-2013. It was lot of learning and its my first involvement with the companies when I was student, and that’s the seed for my involvement with Communities. I had lot of passion to work with communities, learn from many people then help them back. Then I used to attend lot of devfest and other community based events to learn whats new in technologies days, went like this for very long time.
Fast forwarding to 2019
Recently my friend shared there was an opportunity to talk about Devfest 2019 organized by Google Developers group Coimbatore. I wanted to give talk at the local conferences, learn more about the technology I love to talk about. Its always a two way benefit when you are giving a talk at conferences or dev meetups. So I crafted my proposal on my favorite WebExtension. Then after few days I got a beautiful mail from one the GDG Coimbatore organizer.
Acceptance Email
This was one of the best email I could get and was on cloud nine. Had some sleepless nights, I was wondering how wonderful it will be to present about WebExt to the professionals/students coming to Devfest.
A week before Devfest
As usual the lazy developer inside made me to sleep well till a week before Devfest. I finally started preparing the presentation finally. I wanted to do something newly for this time. I wanted to learn more about doodling, so I can share more about tech things in pictorial manner.
Doodling my First Presentation
Since I was bit familiar with the topic I was able to able draw the key things quickly. You can find full presentation at Google Drive.
First Doodling about WebExt
DevFest Day
Reached Coimbatore morning around 7:30 AM. And reached venue as the first speaker. Other speakers came one by one. Got chance to meet Paul Ravi after a long time, last time I meet him at GIDS 2014. Meeting with other speakers was one of the great way to learn.
