Data-driven web applications in ClojureScript
Roll back
| description |
nil |

<p><a href="http://keminglabs.com/">Kevin Lynagh</a> will talk to us about data-driven web applications with ClojureScript:</p>
<p><span>A web page or application is, at its core, just a visual representation of data that people can read, look at, and manipulate.</span> <span>Typically the mapping between the abstract data and elements on the screen is implicit in the code: take some piece of the data, do X here, do Y there; when the user clicks on that thing, modify the page here, and so on.</span></p>
<p><span>Reasoning about such code is difficult: either control is inverted across many different callbacks with complected concerns, or one must endure a great deal of ceremony with models, controllers, view models, and views/templates to structure an application.</span> <span>Ideally when we build a web application all we should have to do is describe how our application's data should be represented on the DOM.</span> <span>We shouldn't need to worry about callbacks, twiddling the attributes of particular elements, or updating cached state.</span><br><br><span>As it turns out, ClojureScript's rich data structures and semantics allows us to easily write such simple, declarative code.</span> <span>I will discuss these ideas using examples from visualization-rich dashboard applications.</span><br><br><span>Recommended reading:</span><br><br><span>C2:</span> <a href="http://keminglabs.com/c2/" target="_blank">http://keminglabs.com/c2/</a><br><span>Knockout.js:</span> <a href="http://knockoutjs.com/" target="_blank">http://knockoutjs.com/</a><br><span>Rich Hickey's talk on the benefits of immutability:</span> <a href="http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Are-We-There-Yet-Rich-Hickey" target="_blank">http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Are-We-There-Yet-Rich-Hickey</a></p> |

Inter-season edition.
Get up early and work on your side projects with some like-minded geeks!
TechCoffee is part running club, part knitting bee, and part hackathon. It's hard to work on all of your amazing ideas after a long workday, so instead we get up early. And we get together, so we have the reinforcement of other people up early, too. A couple hours a week can make a big difference.
So bring your laptops and your work ethic to PDX TechCoffee. Or, if you can't be there in person, join us on IRC at #techcoffee on FreeNode. One commit a week is all we ask.

Personal Telco is a collection of individuals, businesses, and organizations who share -- or plan to share -- internet connectivity rather than hoard it. It's also a group of volunteers who want this network to grow. We believe internet access should be available, fair, and uncensored. Personal Telco Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in PDX.
Whether you're a technology wizard or technically incompetent, volunteering with us is a great way to learn something new, enjoy teaching others, or use your skills to do something useful! |

Gaming for Social Good
Roll back
| description |
As the use of video games becomes more pervasive--think Angry Birds to Farmville to Wii Fitness--it becomes useful to consider their wider impact on our lives. Are they merely useful for entertainment, or can games help create change through creativity, imagination and play? Can games be valuable for mission-based groups like non-profits, NGOs and community organizations? How can game development connect students to real-world problems?
Weâll kick off the evening with a panel discussion including speakers at the intersection of gaming and game development for education, non-profit enablement and youth outreach. Our panelists will explore how gaming and the creation of games can positively impact our local communities and wider world mission-based efforts. Following audience Q&A, everyone is welcome to continue the discussion over networking, food and soft drinks.
Join us to discuss how creating games and game development can benefit the social good!
**What:** Meetup and Panel Roundtable
**When:** Thursday, June 21st 6-9pm
**Where:** Collective Agency, 322 NW Sixth Ave (between Everett and Flanders)

Gaming for Social Good
Hosted by PDXTech4Good and Pixel Arts
As the use of video games becomes more pervasive--think Angry Birds to Farmville to Wii Fitness--it becomes useful to consider their wider impact on our lives. Are they merely useful for entertainment, or can games help create change through creativity, imagination and play? Can games be valuable for mission-based groups like non-profits, NGOs and community organizations? How can game development connect students to real-world problems?
Weâll kick off the evening with a panel discussion including speakers at the intersection of gaming and game development for education, non-profit enablement and youth outreach. Our panelists will explore how gaming and the creation of games can positively impact our local communities and wider world mission-based efforts. Following audience Q&A, everyone is welcome to continue the discussion over networking, food and soft drinks.
Join us to discuss how creating games and game development can benefit the social good!
What: Meetup and Panel Roundtable
When: Thursday, June 21st 6-9pm
Where: Collective Agency, 322 NW Sixth Ave (between Everett and Flanders)
Who: Game Developers and Designers, Creatives, Educators, Non-Profits, Programmers, Entrepreneurs, Businesses
Please RSVP through Eventbrite http://gaming4good.eventbrite.com/ or Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/events/300740826682205/

Dorkbot PDX would like to welcome you to the latest installment of our semi-regular presentation series:
#DorkbotPDX 0x09
#(zero-based)
When: Monday, June 18th, 2012 - 8pm
Where: Backspace (map)
Who: All ages -- open to the public
Cost: Free!
What's happening? Two great and inspiring talks!
#<a href="http://the-compound.org/lamoso.php">LAMOSO</a>
<a href="http://the-compound.org">Christi Denton</a>
The LAMOSO (LAsar/MOtion/SOund) is a MIDI controller; that is, it's a device that sends MIDI to my computer. MIDI is a standard music protocol that allows electronic musical instruments (e.g., the LAMOSO) and computers to communicate with each other. It's not audio - it's digital data that includes values for pitch, length, volume, etc.
So... the LAMOSO uses lasers and photogates to send signals to a computer, which then turns that data into sound.
The lasers hit (or don't hit) photogates. The photogates connect to a Teensy++, a "microcontroller development system" (it's the computer chip thingy in the pictures), and that sends my computer data about whether there is or is not a laser beam light hitting the photogate. Max, a music programming language, is used to interpret that data into music.
Visually and musically, what this means is that there's lasers crisscrossing an area, and when those lasers are broken, it changes the music.
#Digital Painting
<a href="http://www.mantissa.ca/">Jeremy Rotsztain</a>
Jeremy Rotsztain writes software to generate digital images that closely resemble
paintings. Instead of working with paints and pigments, he prefers to use digital materials. He collects popular images from the Internet and iconic scenes from Hollywood films -- and uses their pixels and sounds to generate entirely new
compositions.
Jeremy will be presenting and discussing two recent works:
1) "<a href="http://mantissa.ca/projects/obsessions.php">Obsessions</a>" (prints made from photos of adorable pets)
2) "<a href="http://www.mantissa.ca/projects/actionpainting.php">Action Painting</a>" (abstract expressionist animations made from high octane car chases, violent punches, fiery gun shots, and sublime explosions).
OpenDork
You!
An open-mic session for those looking to show off a project, ask a question, solicit help, or incite collaboration. |

Inter-season edition.
Get up early and work on your side projects with some like-minded geeks!
TechCoffee is part running club, part knitting bee, and part hackathon. It's hard to work on all of your amazing ideas after a long workday, so instead we get up early. And we get together, so we have the reinforcement of other people up early, too. A couple hours a week can make a big difference.
So bring your laptops and your work ethic to PDX TechCoffee. Or, if you can't be there in person, join us on IRC at #techcoffee on FreeNode. One commit a week is all we ask.

AgilePDX - Agile Chartering: Energize Every Project with a Liftoff
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
Agile Chartering ignites your project Liftoff in a way that gives impetus to the project team, and the business, and sets the endeavor on the trajectory to success. Project leaders and team members use Agile Chartering to inform, inspire, and align everyone involved in product delivery. Experience a journey through the framework for effective, yet lightweight, "just enough" Agile chartering, including the three key elements of inspiring Purpose, collaborative Alignment, and dynamic Context. Learn why real-life team members say Agile Chartering provided the initial momentum that powered their projects toward success.
In this high energy talk, Diana Larsen, co-author of Liftoff: Launching Agile Teams and Projects, will take you on an exploration of ways to accomplish team and project Liftoffs, including the vital step of chartering the project.
Bio:
Diana Larsen partners with clients in the software industry to create, guide, and fortify resilient workplaces and improve project performance. In addition to consulting with and coaching leaders and teams on adopting Agile work systems, she draws on 20+ years of working with technical professionals to lead team, project, and whole system processes for collaborative thinking and planning. Diana co-authored Liftoff: Launching Agile Teams and Projects and Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great. She serves on the board of directors of the Agile Alliance and is a principal of FutureWorks Consulting LLC.
Details and Pizza:
This event is free and is at Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supporting agile in Portland).
The program starts at 7:00 pm.
After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion of launching Agile Projects. |
