Figuring Out the Fitbit SDK
Talk description
In this talk I will be sharing my ongoing struggle experience with developing a carpark lot availability app for my Fitbit Ionic. The Ionic runs on FitbitOS, underlying which is a JerryScript engine that offsets some of the workload to the Fitbit mobile app. I will also be detailing my development workflow, and how I have overcome limitations with the usage of the Fitbit Studio - the only means available at the present moment to develop a Fitbit app.

Title
Vue for Dad’s and Daughters: Starting simple and evolving towards best practices
Talk description
Vue is an open source javascript framework that recently passed React in the number of stars on Github. Vue enables you to develop your presentation layer in HTML rather than having to use JSX or plain Javascript. It is easy to start using Vue without a module system (no npm needed) and then switch to a module system in the future as projects get larger. In this talk, Shannon will demonstrate how to prototype in html and then begin adding Vue to make pages more dynamic. Chris will then discuss how to start modularizing your pages into components to make websites more maintainable, extendable, and testable.

Hi guys (@brennanneoh, @dexterleng, @ilich, @billybonks and @scboesch)! Thanks for all the talk submissions!
@scboesch Welcome back to Shannon! :) Would it be possible to have your talk on August's edition instead? I don't want to have to rush you guys.
Hello guys! Thanks for the talk submissions, cool stuff. So far the talks scheduled are:
@brennanneoh - 15mins + 5mins Q&A
@dexterleng - 10mins + 5mins Q&A
@billybonks - 20mins + 5mins A&A
Let me know if there's any issues! :) I can be reached via the Gitter group.
@ilich I was suggesting August for Shannon and Chris because they need a bigger block of time as a two speaker team. Would you still like to speak in July?
Welcome to Singapore by the way!
@dexterleng Hey Dexter! I looked through the slides and given its a familiar topic but nice for sure anyways to anyone new to promises, it looks like 10mins + 5mins Q&A will keep it tighter and keep the audience's attention. Let me know if you disagree.
@ongmin I would like to back out for this month's talk.js. The other talks are quite interesting, and I hope that other talks can be allocated to this month's meetup :).
Update - for tonight:
@brennanneoh - 15mins + 5mins Q&A
@ilich - 15mins + 5mins Q&A
@billybonks - 20mins + 5mins A&A
