create Calagator::Event 1250457710 An Integrated Development Tools Stack: Soup-to-Nuts Implementation in Practice Roll back

description	nil	→	Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Developers Forum In today's software development projects there are more tools and technology choices than ever before but few are seamlessly integrated. Although significant advances have occurred in the last 20 years, it remains a challenge to build an efficient, cost effective and integrated development tools stack that enables rapid development, testing, and release. Efficient use of a full spectrum of tools is crucial to any company for productive high quality development. The newest tools can make significant productivity gains possible when used effectively. Panel members will demonstrate working tools they've integrated in their development environments, and offer practical advice for adoption, benefits, challenges and usage. Code Health: Alex Kriegel, an Enterprise Architect for the State of Oregon, Alex has recently helped to introduce a software factory approach to software development at Public Health Division of the Oregon State Department of Human Services. This led to investigation of a wide variety of efficiency-inducing tools. He will provide a quick demonstration of code health tools including static code analysis (PMD, CheckStyle, FxCop), code coverage (NCover, EMMA) and an integrated code review process. Continuous Integration: Tom Waterhouse, a software architect at Sabrix Inc, the leading provider of transaction tax management, has been at Sabrix for over 8 years overseeing the technological growth of the company. Tom will demonstrate a continuous integration scenario where a checkin to subversion triggers a build in Bamboo via Maven which triggers a success or failure email upon build completion, and checkins are reconciled against stories in JIRA. Developer Integration Testing: Andrew Wright, a Principal Engineer at Blackbox Republic, has been building software for companies such as Jive and Iovation for over a decade. Heâll demonstrate a repeatable dataset generation system for databases as well as other data stores such as lucene, enabling developer oriented integration testing to occur in development. This solution utilizes maven, hibernate, and groovy. Even if you donât use any of the tools listed, there are best practices to be had that you could apply to your tools stack. Come loaded with questions for these panel members to get ideas for optimizing your development tools stack. Series Sponsors: Cascade Technical Services, EthicsPoint, OpenMake Software

create Calagator::Event 1250457709 SAOpdx: StartUp Exchange Meeting Roll back

description	nil	→	If you are tech entrepreneur or startup executive we would be pleased to have you attend the StartUp Exchange Meeting. The meetings are meant to be a discussion among peers about relevant topics that will both educate and help with problem solving. Some of the attendees are likely going through the same issue and have ideas to share, and many of the folks who attend have started many companies so have wisdom to share. Participation is limited to tech entrepreneurs or startup executives only so service providers are not able to attend. We have plenty of space but we ask that you now RSVP so we have an idea of how many cups to bring for the beer. REGISTER: http://www.sao.org/events/event_details.asp?id=78505

create Calagator::Event 1250457698 Getting Started with Microcontrollers Workshop Roll back

description	nil	→	This workshop is the first in a series of workshops on how to use microcontrollers to, well, control things. You’ve purchased an Arudino-compatible board or completed the Audino Cult Induction, so now it’s time to make your board actually do something. This monthly workshop covers simple but useful circuits to connect to the pins and how to control those circuits using the Arduino language. The first workshop is on October 5 from 7 to 9pm at TechShop in Beaverton. The class will be held in the upstairs classroom (the “Hack Hut“). To sign up, go to http://www.pjrc.com/store/workshop.html Cost of each workshop is $10. You will also need to have: * an Arduino-compatible microcontroller board, such as the Dorkboard from the Arduino Cult Induction (with the pins installed so you can use it in a solderless breadboard), a Teensy, etc. * a USB cable for your board * a solderless breadboard You can purchase a complete kit that includes all these (Teensy, breadboard, USB cable, plus the first workshop), for $40 from the same site. What a deal! You should also bring a notebook computer with the Arduino software installed, or come a half-hour early and we will help you install the software on your computer. Finally, bring wire strippers/cutters and some wire. We will have some multimeters, but feel free to bring your own. If you have any questions, email Paul Stoffregen – [email protected]

description	<p>The Crash Course seeks to help you understand the nature of some extremely <a href="http://www.chrismartenson.com/crashcourse"><img width="355" height="444" align="right" src="http://www.thedirt.org/files/u5/TheCC.jpg" alt="" /></a>serious challenges and risks to our economy and your future prosperity. Chris Martenson weaves together a number of seemingly disparate topics into a single story, discussing the Economy, Energy, and the Environment... For it is where these fields overlap and intersect that the greatest story of any generation will get told.</p> <p>Chris Martenson is an author and obsessive financial observer who has made profound changes in his lifestyle because of what he sees coming. He runs a popular website devoted to advancing awareness of the Three“E’s"--the Economy, Energy and the Environment, although most of the focus is on tracking the economy. <br /> <br /> Chris is not an economist. He is trained as a scientist, having completed both a Ph.D. and a post-doctoral program in Neurotoxicology at Duke University. Chris’s extensive scientific training guides how he thinks. He gathers data, develops hypotheses, and continually seeks to accept or reject them based on the evidence at hand. He lets the data tell the story. <br /> <br /> In addition, Chris has a solid business background, with an MBA in Finance from Cornell with ten years experience in corporate finance and strategic consulting, becoming an executive of a Fortune 300 company. <br /> <br /> The main body of Chris' work, The Crash Course, is a dynamic web-based video presentation, bringing together the threads of the “Three E’s,” and explaining why and how the next 20 years will be completely unlike the last 20.</p> <h2>Shown in Three Parts</h2> <p>All 20 sections take 3 hours and 23 minutes to watch in full, with chapters are between 3 and 20 minutes in length.  </p> <p>To allow for plenty of time for discussion we will be showing this DVD in three parts, on the following days.
