Java/Springboot for Dummies, Tech Workshops for Dummies Series (6/6)

posted by Elvin Zukic on June 14, 2024, 10:57 p.m.

Hey there! 

Are you eager to work on Java or Spring Boot but just can’t seem to sit yourself down to figure it out?

Well this workshop aims to tackle that and help you get started with working on a Spring Boot Application

You will learn things like:
  • Initializing a Spring Boot Application
  • Making an endpoint
  • Saving to and retrieving from a database

Come with questions and I’ll be happy to answer them. 

Please show up with the following things already done:
    1. Professional: costs money but your sfu account should get you a free license and more features
    2. Community Edition: less features but free and open source
    1. If you prefer to use some other database setup instead of a dockerized database, you are free to but I might not be able to help you troubleshoot.
    1. This is optional but it can be easier to interact with a database via a DB GUI rather than from the command-line

Java/Spring Boot for Dummies, Part of a Tech Workshops For Dummies Series (6/6) 
Date: Wednesday, June 19th Time: 4:30PM - 5:30PM 
Location: ASB 9700 [CSIL] 
Hosted by: Jace M., Intermediate Backend Java Developer [in collab with CSSS]

Hope to see you there!

Python/DiscordBot for Dummies, Tech Workshops For Dummies Series (4/6)

posted by Elvin Zukic on June 14, 2024, 10:54 p.m.

Hey there! 

If you are like me when I was a student, I was learning to code in Python and do fancy things but when it came to ideas to apply them to, I was an empty well.

Well this workshop aims to tackle that and help you get started with working on a discord bot based in Python. 

You will learn things like:
  • How to make a simple bot that just does ping/pong or echo commands
  • Make a bot that takes advantage of a database
  • Work on the CSSS discord bot wall_e

Come with questions and I’ll be happy to answer them. 

Please show up with the following things already done:
  1. Opened a Discord Account: https://discord.com/
    1. Professional: costs money but your sfu account should get you a free license and more features
    2. Community Edition: less features but free and open source
    1. If you prefer to use some other database setup instead of a dockerized database, you are free to but I might not be able to help you troubleshoot.
