How I learned flutter in 3 days

Arnab Dey — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 12:00:55 +0000

First of all, you can not learn everything about flutter in 3 days but you can learn most of the things needed to make a simple app.

I am a data scientist and wanted to implement google PoseNet model on a mobile application. I have heard about flutter before and I always wanted to learn it so I combine both objectives.

One more thing, I already knew other programming languages like python, C, C++, and Java. That helps a lot during the process of learning flutter.

Installation and Setup

I have used Ubuntu operating system for development so the installation process may not be for other operating systems. I would suggest you visit the official page of flutter for more information about installation and set up

Flutter installation guide

Learning basic

I have followed some YouTube playlist and flutter documentation to get familiar with dart and flutter. In my experience dart is very easy to learn if you already know other programming languages.

YouTube tutorial

Official documentation
Flutter doc

Project

Once you get familiar with basic things you should start working on projects. I learned most while doing the project. During the project I faced very specific problems and solved them with the help of doc and stack overflow. To be honest you can't learn and master everything about a language so best way to Learn while doing.

If you already don't have project idea search on GitHub and start with a project you like.

In the beginning you can try to replicate a project from GitHub then slowly modify it according to your need.

Most importantly have fun while coding so don't think too much about usefulness of the apps in the beginning.

GitHub remote graduation swag

Arnab Dey — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 14:39:15 +0000

GitHub education organized online graduation for the graduates of 2020. I have graduated during the lockdown of Covid19, back in April. It was really sad not to have an official graduation ceremony at my university. During that time GitHub decided to do an online graduation ceremony for all the graduates around the world in a live event. It was really nice initiative from GitHub and I have enjoyed it a lot.

UPDATES

July 27th, 2020

Swag has 🎉 shipped 🎉 !!

If you are located in the United States, you will likely receive something in the next week. International shipments will arrive in 2-3 weeks. If your country is not currently accepting international shipments, we will hold onto your swag until shipping restrictions have been lifted. Please be patient as shipping in many parts of the world is currently delayed. 🙌.

Feel free to flex your swag on Twitter and tag us!

Today this repository will be archived.

Congrats grads ✨

Hi Graduates!

We are getting everything ready for the event on Monday and can hardly wait to see you all walk the stage.

A few updates -

📚 Yearbook is LIVE. Find your friends and enjoy the quotes. We sure did 😅
🛍 Swag…

Today I have received a package from GitHub with some of their swag. I know it's not that much but it feels nice when a company sends physical things rather than just an email.

Thank you GitHub and DEV for making my graduation special.

Take your GitHub to the next level

Recently I have seen the video of codeSTACKr, where he showed how to use the readme and Github action to create a beautiful GitHub profile. If you want to create something like this for your profile follow the youtube tutorial of codeSTACKr, he explained everything in detail.

Don't forget to check my GitHub, there are some cool projects.

My Master Thesis

Human activity and emotion recognition from RGB videos using deep learning

Demo of the project

GitHub repo

In this Project, I have proposed a new methodology to recognize human
activities and emotions based on RGB videos, which take advantage of the
recent breakthrough made in the field of deep learning. This method uses an
image classification approach to recognize human activities and emotions.
We can divide this problem into two sub-problems: activity recognition, and
emotion recognition. We have used the transfer learning technique for both
problems. Human activity and emotion recognition gained popularity in
recent years because of the wide use of digital cameras in daily life and their
potential for human-computer interaction, and robotics applications.
In this work, a solution is proposed requiring only the use of RGB video
instead of RGB-D videos to recognize human activity and emotion. This
work shows a different approach based on the conversion of RGB video data
into 2D images and image classification. From a stream of RGB videos, a
two-dimensional skeleton of 17 joints for each detected body part is extracted
with a DNN-based human pose estimator called PoseNet. Then, skeleton
data are encoded into red, green, and blue channels of an image. A different
way of encoding data was studied and compared.
We used different state-of-the-art deep neural network architectures to classify human activities and compared them. Based on related works, we have
chosen to use image classification models: SqueezeNet, AlexNet, DenseNet,
ResNet, VGG, Inception, and retrained them to perform action recognition.
For all the experiments for activity recognition, the NTU RGB+D database
was used. The highest accuracy was obtained with ResNet 88.19%, which
outperformed all the previous works.
The second part of the problem is the detection of facial expressions from
RGB videos. Based on the previous study, we have used image classification
techniques based on deep learning. Before doing classification, we have
applied the OpenCV face detection function to recognize faces in the wild.
Cropped image of the face used as an input to our retrained VGG16 emotion
detection model based on deep neural network. The highest accuracy is
obtained with VGG16 (85.06%) which is comparable to any other state of the
art approaches.
