Git Workshop

Hi guys!
Ever wanted to learn a more efficient way to manage your projects? Well look no further because our Git Workshop will equip you with all the necessary skills needed to use Git for your projects, especially for your FYP (Final Year Projects)!
Git and Github are version control technologies, meaning technologies that allows the user to keep track of different versions of their program, testing out new changes, etc.

Whether you are working on a project, or collaborating with others on a project, Git is useful for:
- Keeping track of changes to your code
- Synchronizing codes between different people
- Testing changes to the code without losing the original
- Reverting back to old versions of the code
So what are you waiting for? Use the link below to sign up for our Git Workshop 2018!

Confession of a hacker - The New Paper

Article featured SP alumnus Daniel Hamid, who is now a senior consultant at Centurion Information Security, Singapore's first internationally accredited firm for the delivery of penetration testing services. Daniel shared that his job scope consists more than just hacking into computer systems. He, too, has to understand his clients' needs and the data they wish to protect before coming up with solutions that will address their key concerns.

Daniel also shared that he has always been fascinated by computers, ever since his dad introduced them to him when he was young. He graduated from SP in 2011 with a Diploma in Infocomm Security Management, and attained his bachelor’s degree in information technology after completing his national service.
