Build your first iOS app at Tampa Bay Apple Coding Meetup — Monday, June 26!

Post author By Joey deVilla
Post date June 17, 2023

“Let’s Get Started!” — a collage of Apple products including the iPhone, MacBook Pro, Apple Watch, Apple TV, iPad, and Vision Pro.

It’s been a while, so let’s go back to the beginning and build an iOS app!

Join us on Monday, June 26 at 6:00 p.m. at Computer Coach to sit down, fire up Xcode, and write an iOS app. Register here!

It’s been a while since Tampa Bay has had a meetup for Apple platforms — iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and the upcoming visionOS (as in the OS for Apple’s Vision Pro, a.k.a. “the goggles”). The best way to learn how to develop for all of these platforms is to develop for iOS.

At this meetup, where we’ll build a simple iOS app and get re-acquainted with iOS development with Swift and SwiftUI.

Are you new to iOS development, the Swift programming language, Xcode, SwiftUI, or any combination of these? This meetup session is just for you! You’ll come to the meetup with your Mac with Xcode installed, and you’ll leave with a working app!

This meetup will be a “code along with the presenter” exercise. You’ll fire up Xcode, click File → New, and following the presenter’s work on the big screen, you’ll write code in Swift, build a user interface in SwiftUI, and compile and run the app. If you’ve never built an iOS app before — or it’s been a while — you’ll want to attend this meetup!

You’ll need:

A Mac computer — preferably a laptop, but we’ve had people bring in Mac desktops before.
Xcode 14.3.1. It’s free on the App Store, but it does take a while to download and install. It’s best if you install it in advance.

And because it’s hard to code on an empty stomach, we’ll provide the pizza, courtesy of our sponsor: Okta! We’d also like to thank Computer Coach for the generous use of their space.

Once again: Join us on Monday, June 26 at 6:00 p.m. at Computer Coach to sit down, fire up Xcode, and write an iOS app. Register here!

About this list

How do I put this list together? It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrape Meetup and Eventbrite for events in categories that I consider to be “tech,” “entrepreneur,” and “nerd.” The result is a checklist that I review. I make judgement calls and uncheck any items that I don’t think fit on this list.

In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.

What goes into this list? I prefer to cast a wide net, so the list includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under any of these categories:

Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
Tech project management / agile processes
Video, board, and role-playing games
Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
Toastmasters (because nerds really need to up their presentation game)
Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms
Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
Anything I deem geeky

Artificial Intelligence Tampa Bay Video What I’m Up To

Yesterday’s AI interview on FOX 13 News Tampa

Post author By Joey deVilla
Post date June 15, 2023
3 Comments on Yesterday’s AI interview on FOX 13 News Tampa

Chris Cato and Joey deVilla during a live interview of FOX 13 News Tampa. The caption in the “lower third” reads “Risks and benefits of artificial intelligence.” — FOX 13 News anchor Chris Cato and me.

Here it is — the recording of my interview on the 4:00 p.m. news on FOX 13 Tampa with anchor Chris Cato, where I answered more questions about artificial intelligence:

In this quick interview, we discussed:

The “existential threat to humanity” that AI potentially poses: My take is that a lot of big-name AI people who fear that sort of thing are eccentrics who hold what AI ethicist Timnit Gebru calls the TESCREAL (Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singularitarianism, Cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism, and Longtermism) mindset. They’re ignoring a lot of closer-to-home, closer-to-now issues raised by AI because they’re too busy investing in having their heads frozen for future revival and other weird ideas of the sort that people with too much money and living in their own bubble tend to have.
My favorite sound bite: “The Terminator is not a documentary.”
A.I. regulation: Any new technology that has great power for good and bad should actually be regulated, just as we do with nuclear power, pharma, cars and airplanes, and just about anything like that. A.I. is the next really big thing to change our lives — yes, it should be regulated.” There’s more to my take, but there’s only so much you can squeeze into a two-and-a-half minute segment.
Cool things AI is doing right now: I named these…
- Shel Israel (who now lives in Tampa Bay) is using AI to help him with his writing as he works on his new book,
- I’m using it with my writing for both humans (articles for Global Nerdy as well as the blog that pays the bills, the Auth0 Developer Blog) as well as for machines (writing code with the assistance of Studio Bot for Android Studio and Github Copilot for iOS and Python development)
- Preventing unauthorized access to systems with machine learning-powered adaptive MFA, which a feature offered by Okta, where I work.
My “every 13 years” thesis: We did a quick run-through of something I wrote about a month ago — that since “The Mother of All Demos” in 1969, there’s been a paradigm-changing tech leap every 13 years, and the generative AI boom is the latest one:

Poster: “Every 13 years, an innovation changes computing forever.” — Tap to view at full size.

And finally, a plug for Global Nerdy! This blog has been mentioned before in my former life in Canada, but this is the first time it’s been mentioned on American television.

I’ll close with a couple of photos that I took while there:

Interviewee’s-eye view of the cameras, teleprompters, and monitors at the Fox 13 News Tampa studio, as seen from the interview table. — **The cameras, teleprompters, and monitors.**

Once again, I’d like to thank producer Melissa Behling, anchor Chris Cato, and the entire Fox 13 Tampa Bay studio team! It’s always a pleasure to work with them and be on their show.

I’m on FOX 13 Tampa tomorrow at 4:20 p.m. to talk about artificial intelligence

1 Comment on I’m on FOX 13 Tampa tomorrow at 4:20 p.m. to talk about artificial intelligence

Tomorrow (Wednesday, June 14 at 4:20 p.m.), I’ll make another appearance on local news — FOX 13 News Tampa — to answer more questions about artificial intelligence. It seems I’ve become their A.I. go-to guy! Tune in if you can, and I’ll also post a recording of my appearance later this week.

This will be another live interview, like the one I did back on April 10th with anchor Chris Cato…

…and that appearance came about as a result of this earlier appearance in March in their piece about ChatGPT:

Artificial Intelligence Meetups Tampa Bay

USF’s information session on their AI graduate certificate program – Friday, June 9th

Post author By Joey deVilla
Post date June 7, 2023

On Friday, June 9th at 1:00 p.m., University of South Florida (USF) is hosting an online information session about their newly-launched Online Artificial Intelligence Graduate Certificate. USF’s been doing quite well recently, what with joining the Association of American Universities, an invitation-only organization of elite research universities and being involved in some record-breaking deep sea research.

The idea behind the program is to boost your computing skillset, which can help you land a tech role or be a step towards an MS in Data Intelligence (MSDI). USF’s certificate is designed so you can easily learn to build AI applications.

Features of the certificate program include:

Affordable tuition.
Fast completion, with a short 12-credit program.
No GRE required.
Highly awarded doctorate faculty to help students build and apply AI skills.
Fully online asynchronous courses with synchronous exams.
Four-course sequence (12 credits), with 16-week courses in:
- Data Mining
- Deep Learning
- Computer Vision
- AI

This program is covered for Veterans under the GI Bill. (WEAMS posting pending but will be in place by or before application deadline of August 1st, 2023).

Interested in finding out more? Register for the event — and yes, it’s online via Microsoft Teams — and catch the information session of Friday, June 9th at 1:00 p.m.!
