Innovate with Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) Spatial Data

The Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) is a key initiative under the Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong. The CSDI portal launched by the Development Bureau (DEVB) provides a map-based digital infrastructure as a one-stop platform to open and share spatial data. By allowing members of the public to search, view and download various kinds of spatial data from the portal, a wide range of possibilities for application development will be opened, the digital economy boosted and quality of life improved.

How I make a podcast website using serverless technology in 2023

In 2022, I launched a Kotlin podcast show, Kotlin Fireside Chat, with my friends in Kotlin User Group. Now, we're taking things to the next level by building a podcast website with a statistical analysis dashboard. We've built a static website using Jamstack and connected it to a serverless API written in Kotlin. In order to aggregate the listener number across platforms, such as YouTube, BiliBili, Ximalaya, Lizhi, Qingting, we've also created a crawler to grab those numbers and display them in a custom dashboard.

Adapting your Apps/Systems with Universal Acceptance Standard

The Domain Name System (DNS) has changed dramatically over the last decade. There are now more than 1,200 active generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) representing many different scripts and character strings of varying length (e.g., .дети, .london, .engineering). There are also more than 60 Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) representing global communities online in native scripts (e.g., .ไทย).

(書面語) Programming有兩大範式 : 高級語言(python/java)和底級語言(assembly), 而verilog是有別於以上兩大類的另一編程範式, 希望係此演講為大家介紹和令大家起步編寫verilog。
