Google Announces G-Nigeria 2010

Postby drixie » Fri Jan 22, 2010 11:59 am

I got this in my email earlier today. Wish I was in Lagos:

We are happy to announce that our largest G-Africa event yet, G-Nigeria 2010, will be held February 18 - 20 at the University of Lagos.

The agenda is as follows:

Day 1: Tech Day - For Software Developers (February 18, 2010)
Day 1 will focus on pushing the boundaries of web applications using Google developer technologies. Google engineers and web development leaders will lead you through one full day of in-depth sessions on the latest Google technologies and hands-on codelabs. The day will also be about bringing brilliant developers together to share their own ideas. [Registration form for Day 1]

Day 2: Business Day - For Marketing Professionals and Entrepreneurs (February 19, 2010)
Day 2 will be full of Google product demonstrations for businesses to help spur innovation and entrepreneurship in the region. We will discuss how to create local content using online tools, how to market them and how to monetize. Furthermore, we will discuss several tools to help better manage your business. In addition, we have invited several venture capitalists from around the world to talk about raising capital for your business. [Registration form for Day 2]

Day 3: Computer Science Students Day (February 20, 2010)
Day 3 will contain developer workshops and presentations similar to Day 1 and include a session with Nigerian venture capitalists. We will also cover some of the existing Google student outreach programs and opportunities. [Registration form for Day 3]

The past year was filled with exciting events in Africa, including G-Mauritius, G-Senegal, Lagos Code Camp as well as participation in several African BarCamps. Stay tuned for more in 2010!

MCITP ... would give me MCTS, MCITP
MCSE...(would give me MCP, MCSA, MCSE)..but i think i would only be able to cover MCSA (the first four exams) by february ending
A+ ...yeah yeah i know i should have written it when i was 10 years old, but i just kept postponing
N+ ...a bit more challenging
CCNA ...the exam (i heard) has become so crazy now, dumps fail you, image capturing during exam, signature pad, blood sample, etc, i should have written it 2 years ago, but i was feeling cool with the "i have the knowledge i dont need the kpali" syndrome!

Blood Sample ke? Are you trying to qualify as a Cisco associate or are you signing a blood oath with the devil.

Anyway sha, it sounds like you are an hardware+networking guy. I've restricted myself to the internet.... web design, web development, internet marketing and every other thing you need to get your groove online. As for me, wires and circuits boards are not my thing. You connect the shit, I use the shit :wink:
