This event provides Portland Female Executive members and attendees (you don’t have to be a member to register!) with an opportunity to present themselves or their products and services in a 3-minute “speed networking” format.

Bring your business cards and your notebooks, but don’t expect your “typical” networking event. Join us for a relaxed, social evening, with casual, rotating facilitated groups and an engaging question-based format specifically designed to elicit meaningful connections with your Portland-area businesswomen peers. Tasty nibbles and delicious drinks provided. Register at http://portlandfemaleexecutives.com today!

He will tell us about what he has learned about working with Rust, and about getting Rust’s lifetime-checking to mesh with external C functions. bio: Jesse Hallett is a research engineer at Galois. He has extensive experience in web and high-level programming; but has only recently ventured into system programming. It has been said that Rust makes system programming accessible to people who wouldn’t touch C++ with a 12-foot pole. Jesse is one of those people. And he is interested in talking about how Rust helps him to access a wider world of programming.

description This month we have a very meta topic. First we'll have a short talk on "How to Host a Mini Workshop" by Howard Abrams followed by a mini workshop on Yesql. How awesome is that?!? We may also have time for another talk which I'm trying to confirm and/or we'll have open Q&A. This month we have duelling Howards! Two Howards enter, one Howard leaves. First Howard Abrams will give us a short talk on 1) How to Host a Mini Workshop and then 2) A Mini workshop on Yesql Then Howard M. Lewis Ship will present 3) Exceptional Feedback in Clojure You're in the flow: writing code, experimenting in the REPL, running tests ... and then it happens: an exception. Clojure approaches a kind of ideal coding environment, right up until something goes wrong. Clojure stack traces are notoriously challenging: hard to read, lots of noise, and limited in context. Fortunately, we have the tools to fix this! We'll describe Pretty: a library that presents exceptions ordered and formatted for readability, and Tracker: a library to provide context to exceptions that goes beyond the stack trace. 4) Sane, smart, fast, Clojure web services with Rook Rook (the name is a play on Bishop) is a library that fits into Ring as a straight-forward, easy way to build web services. In essence, Rook is a mapping between web resources and specific Clojure namespaces.Rook leverages conventions, metadata, and a few strong opinions to make it fast and easy to build well structured web services, following the REST pattern ... and goes beyond just request dispatching, providing some much needed infrastructure that helps you build code that is concise, efficient, testable, and maintainable..

create Calagator::Event 1250468070 Creative Mornings Lecture - Rilla Alexander Roll back

description nil **Tickets are free, but you have to get one at the event website.** Rilla Alexander is an Australian illustrator and graphic designer whose work has appeared on everything from toys and tea cups to busses and buildings. Her cast of characters dance across Museo del Prado’s ceramics and stationery, populate Swiss Credit Cards and sleep on the walls of a Copenhagen hotel (where she replaced the bed with a tent). Rilla’s work has been showcased at Paris’ cultural mecca Colette and at the Museé de la Publicité/Louvre. She leads a masterclass in character design at the Pictoplasma Academy in Berlin and is currently teaching illustration at the PNCA. Rilla has published several books celebrating creativity – including the collaborative toy project “Neighbourhood” and her picture books “The Best Book in the World” and “Her Idea”. Rilla will speak about committing to an idea – and that fateful moment play and potential are stopped in their tracks by procrastination and preciousness. She is interested in where ideas come from and how to take them all the way to THE END.

create Calagator::Event 1250468069 Ruby Book Club Roll back

description nil Reading through technical books in a group is a great way to learn. You can stay motivated by reading together; better apply what you are reading by actively communicating it, as well as hearing others perspectives that will help you better understand the book. Even if you're a more experienced developer it's a great way to keep your skill sharp and share your wisdom and experience. If none of that is convincing just come and have fun with fellow ruby developers! We are reading [Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby](http://www.poodr.com) by Sandi Metz. This week we will discuss chapters 5-6. Please come having read the chapters and ready to discuss it. Make sure to grab food before.
