Adding real-time analytics to these systems enables them to instantly respond to changing conditions and provide immediate, targeted feedback. This use of analytics is called “operational intelligence,” and the need for it is widespread.</p> <p>This talk will describe the use of in-memory, data-parallel computing to obtain operational intelligence in several scenarios, including financial services, ecommerce, and cable-based media. It will show both how an in-memory model is constructed and how data-parallel analysis can be implemented to provide immediate feedback. Performance results from a simulation of 10M live cable-TV set-top boxes will illustrate how this technique was used to correlate and enrich 25K events per second and complete a parallel analysis every 10 seconds on a cluster of commodity servers.</p> <p>The talk also will compare the use of in-memory computing to the more traditional “big data” model popularized by Hadoop MapReduce. It also will examine simplifications offered by this approach over directly analyzing incoming event streams from an operational system using complex event processing or Storm. Lastly, it will explain key requirements of the in-memory computing platform, in particular real-time updating of individual objects and high availability, and compare these requirements to the design goals for stream processing in Spark.</p> <p> <b>About the Presenter</b></p> <p><a href="http://sungwookyoon.com/"></a></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=4939191&authType=name&authToken=ehCr&trk=miniprofile-primary-view-button"></p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=116535&authType=name&authToken=pat8&trk=miniprofile-name-link">Dr. William L.

update Calagator::Event 1250467133 RefreshPDX - Adaptive Input Roll back

description The doors open to the event at 6:00pm and we will start the talk at 6:30pm sharp! Our Topic Windows 8. Chromebook Pixel. Ubuntu Phone. These devices shatter another consensual hallucination that we web developers have bought into: mobile = touch and desktop = keyboard and mouse. We have tablets with keyboards; laptops that become tablets; laptops with touch screens; phones with physical keyboards; and even phones that become desktop computers. Not to mention new forms of input like cameras, voice control and sensors. One of the core things that responsive design has taught us is that we have to be comfortable with the ambiguity of not knowing what the size of our canvas is going to be. Input has that same ambiguity. It is transient. It is unknowable. Reconciling that understanding from a design and implementation perspective is going to be as big a challenge if not bigger than the one we faced coming to grips with responsive design. We've learned how to respond to screen size. Our next challenge is learning how to adapt to different forms of input. Our Presenter, Jason Grigsby In 2000, Jason got his first mobile phone. He became obsessed with how the world could be a better place if everyone had access to the world's information in their pockets. But WAP was crap so he headed back to the desktop web for several years. Now Jason spends far too much time thinking about mobile. Jason is a mobile strategist, co-founder of Cloudfour and frequently speaks about mobile technology and strategy. Follow Jason on Twitter. Join us after the workshop for a short walk to a local establishment for libation, sponsored by nGen Works! Our Venue, currently TBD We're checking out some new digs and will update everyone when we make a decision.    → The doors open to the event at 6:00pm and we will start the talk at 6:30pm sharp!

create Calagator::Event 1250467125 SQAUG Presents: UX & SW testing - Identifying specific design areas where UX and testing pair well Roll back

description nil → The team needs to build a product. The team readily recognizes the testers’ need to work with the developers but the same team often doesn’t consider that the testers also need to work with the UX staff. Often the UX staff is tucked away in a different part of the office, working with multiple teams and yet rarely working directly with the testers. Why? How can testers review a product without a good understanding of the design? Testers need closer access to UX and UX would benefit from working directly with the testers. Karen highlights specific design areas where UX and testing pair well. About Our Speaker: Karen N. Johnson is an independent software test consultant. Her client work is often centered on helping organizations at an enterprise level. In recent years, she has helped companies transitioning to Agile software development. While focused on software testing and predominantly working with the testers throughout an organization, Karen helps teams and organizations improve quality overall. Her professional activities include speaking at conferences both in the US and internationally. Karen is a contributing author to the book, Beautiful Testing by O’Reilly publishers. She is the co-founder of the WREST workshop, the Workshop for Regulated Software Testing. She has published numerous articles; she blogs and tweets about her experiences. Find her on Twitter as @karennjohnson (note the two n’s) and her website: http://www.karennicolejohnson.com Agenda: 5:30-6:00PM: Pizza and Networking 6:00-6:15PM: SQAUG Announcements 6:15-7:30PM: Karen Johnson Presents/Q&A Details: • Event is Free to the public • Onsite parking (directions below) • Light Hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served • No RSVP is required to attend

description nil → The next meeting of pdxdevops will be focusing on incident response. What does this mean in a devops context? Do our tools and processes make event response easier or harder? The numbers say that organizations doing devops generally have both higher fail rate and lower mean time to recovery. Does this apply only to 'planned changes' such as deploys, or does it apply to 'page in the middle of the night' as well. As automation and devops reduce the number of humans involved in operations, how do we prevent pager-fatigue? The format will be round table discussion. Please bring yourself, your stories, and your experiences. If you would like to more formally present on this topic, we could probably squeeze a couple of short 10-15 minute talks in. Overall the goal is to be very lassiez-faire. pdxdevops is a Portland, Oregon user group that explores the glorious intersection of software development and systems operations, and shares practical advice on working effectively in an era of agile infrastructure, server automation and cloud computing. The group welcomes participants interested in any related products, technologies and methodologies. The group has been meeting regularly since August 2010 for presentations, demos and discussions applicable to all skill levels, from newbies and experts. Every month 15-35 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for devops – join us!

description nil → This month we are all in for a double dose of awesome! Our special guest will be Arun Gupta (founding member of the Java EE team at Sun Microsystems and director of developer advocacy at Red Hat in San Francisco). He will give not one, but 2 talks: # Devoxx4Kids: # ## So your kid is interested in programming, robotics, engineering? ## Devoxx4Kids is a worldwide initiative that introduces programming, robotics, and engineering to kids at an early age. This is achieved by organizing events where children can develop computer games, program robots and also have an introduction to electronics. This effort won Duke’s Choice Awards at JavaOne 2013. This session will share how Devoxx4Kids is engaging kids at an early age and teaching them computing concepts using Scratch, Greenfoot, Minecraft, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, NAO, Tynker. The session will show a path that can be followed by parents to keep their kids engaged and build, instead of just play games. The attendees will learn best practices to organize similar workshops in their local setting. Tips on opening a local US chapter and how to build attendee base will be shared. # Continuous Integration using Java EE 7 # Techniques such as automated testing, continuous integration and continuous deployment allow software to be developed to a high standard and easily packaged and deployed to test environments, resulting in the ability to rapidly, reliably and repeatedly push out enhancements and bug fixes to customers at low risk and with minimal manual overhead. What container-agnostic tools are available for testing, continuous integration and deployment of a Java EE 7 application? This talk will provide a quick overview of Arquillian and how it helps in testing across multiple containers. Separate approaches for greenfield and brownfield applications will be shown. Configuring Jenkins for Continuous Integration will be shown. Setting up multiple WildFly containers on OpenShift for testing and production will be shown in detail. At the end of this session, attendees would have converted their development environment to leverage the power of Jenkins, Arquillian, and OpenShift to setup an automated Continuous Delivery pipeline. *Doors will open at 5:30, and the presentation will begin right at 6p. The food and drinks are provided by Bellagios and New Relic.* **Please RSVP via Eventbrite [HERE](http://bit.ly/Zrh5H0)** *Arun Gupta is Director of Developer Advocacy at Red Hat and focuses on JBoss Middleware. As a founding member of the Java EE team at Sun Microsystems, he spread the love for technology all around the world. At Oracle, he led a cross-functional team to drive the global launch of the Java EE 7 platform through strategy, planning, and execution of content, marketing campaigns, and program. After authoring ~1400 blogs at blogs.oracle.com/arungupta on different Java technologies, he continues to promote Red Hat technologies and products at blog.arungupta.me. Arun has extensive speaking experience in ~40 countries on myriad topics and is a JavaOne Rockstar. He also founded the Devoxx4Kids chapter in the USA and continues to promoting technology education amongst kids. An author of a best-selling book, an avid runner, a globe trotter, a Java Champion, JUG leader, he is easily accessible at @arungupta.* › FutureTalk is brought to you by [New Relic](http://www.newrelic.com) in collaboration with [TAO](http://www.techoregon.org)

create Calagator::Event 1250467117 MySQL triggers : Paul Irvine will be presenting Roll back

description nil → <p>Paul Irvine will be presenting:</p> <p>Topic: using MySQL triggers to simplify application front ends, reporting queries, performance, batch processing, by denormalizing a data model in the triggers.</p> <p>It sounds like something you might not want to do, most folks are taught normalization, never denormalization, but I’ve been doing this since the early 90’s on SQLServer, then on Oracle in the mid-90’s, and a few others, and of course MySQL since they introduced triggers. In truth, I learned about these techniques in the mid-80’s in some none-SQL proprietary relational products that had the features ‘built-in’.</p> <p>A lot of people already use triggers for basic validation, and some people use them for more complex validation. A few even use them for some computed column value setting. That’s cool. The sorts of things I do are to replicate, propagate and maintain redundant copies of data, or to aggregate data. This usually makes user presentation many factors simpler for many application types, especially reporting, as it simplifies queries. And the cost to implement is marginal to none.</p> <p>I’m a fan of using auto-increment keys in MySQL, because so many development frameworks like Rails, PHPRunner, Cake and others find it easy to use and address records in grids, and forms.</p> <p>BASECOPYDOWN</p> <p>In this denormalization, the child triggers retrieve a copy of the parent row’s relevant ‘natural’ key information.</p> <p>Example : order detail rows retrieve the parent ‘order number’, the natural human order number, not the primary key auto increment. And that order number gets copied to a real column in the Order Line Item row. This means that reports, and user queries can very easily retrieve line items for orders using (human) order number now. And do real sorts. And the application code has zero work to do to gain this benefit. Three lines of trigger code do it all. And its guaranteed. SUMS</p> <p>Very often, a parent row needs rapid access to the SUM of a column from its child rows. The simple way in a trigger would be to select(count(*)) on the child recs, and put the count in the parent row, but this has potential impact on the parent update. The cost of a query select against the child table. The way I do it is to put the code in the child triggers, to do an incremental update against the parent row. So as the child row is added, the new child value is added to the parent SUM column and updated. This gets more complicated on updates on the child, involving some difference computation and some stored procs to optimize the code, but the code is simple and templatized. And guarantees no select count(*) performance degradation, but gets the benefit of the running totals on the parent record for no more than one additional update.</p> <p>And yes, I’ll be happy to share the template code for insert/update/delete trigger difference computation.</p> <p>A similar process can be used to keep the count of child records in a parent table.</p> <p>And of course these can cascade up and down more than one level.</p> <p>Imagine a timesheet week or day entry that sums the values to the timesheet, that sums the values to the week aggregate record, or a group/project/division record of some sort for job costing… easy and trivial to do, but if that had to be done in application code, whether a middle tier or front end, it would get costly, and not guaranteed to be consistent depending on who updates what rows using what code.</p> <p>The trigger guarantees robust integrity, minimal performance impact and maximum app benefit no matter whether its an app server updating, a front end updating, a mobile interface or an API.</p> <p>Denormalizing is not only an efficient thing to do, it can save the front end developer some significant effort in data manipulation to assemble, select, filter and display aggregate, parent or child based information.</p>
