update Calagator::Event 1250472118 PDXWIT Presents Intro to Bitcoin, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency Roll back

description Due to the popularity of a previous event in this format, we have taken steps to ensure additional seating capacity. That said, please plan to arrive early to ensure you have a spot as seating is limited. <br> Want to learn how Bitcoin and Ethereum work, how cryptography plays a key role in securing funds, or how a network of untrusted computers guessing random numbers quadrillions of times per second adds security to the blockchain? Join Scott Bigelow, Back-end Developer at Augur, in an introduction to the blockchain and some common blockchain-based applications. New technologies, such as the blockchain and Ethereum, can provide new opportunities in the startup-rich ecosystem of Portland. Additionally, understanding these revolutionary new design principles can help illuminate new ways of designing your own systems. No previous working knowledge of cryptography or other supporting technologies necessary, this will be a ground-up introduction.

description <b>Abstract</b> A well known security expert and cryptographer, Thomas H. Ptáček, once said: "<i>If You're Typing the Letters A-E-S Into Your Code You're Doing It Wrong</i>". Wait, what?!? Doesn't everyone use AES? Of course we do. Is AES broken? Nope. In this developer-oriented talk I'll explore what mistakes developers commonly make when implementing cryptosystems, just how easily these problems can be exploited in the real world, and what Thomas meant by his statement. <b>Speaker's Bio</b> Tim taught himself how to write software at the age of twelve and has been a die-hard technologist ever since. After earning his computer science degrees (B.S., Harvey Mudd College and M.S., Northeastern University), Tim spent 8 years helping build a Boston-based information security consulting practice that was recently acquired. In 2014, Tim founded Blindspot Security where he has continued his work as a security consultant, helping his customers understand how digital intruders can gain access to their critical business assets through network, application, and comprehensive security assessments. → <b>Abstract</b> A well known security expert and cryptographer, Thomas H.

It is hard to know what to expect and even how to prepare for it. Each company evaluates its candidates differently. Luckily, some upfront investment and preparation can really go a long way in helping you distinguish yourself from the rest of the candidates. In this seminar lead by Khawaja Shams, VP of Engineering at Elemental Technologies, we will cover some common interviewing practices for technical interviews and what you may be able to do to get ready. We plan to cover many beneficial topics: • Morning preparation, attire, mindset • Preparation for the non-technical parts • How to study for the coding interview • How to execute the coding test Due to the level of interaction required, attendance will be capped at 20. Never fear, we will be organizing this same event bi-monthly because we want everyone to have access to this workshop!

Q: Is there secured bike parking? A: No secured bike parking available at this event. Q: Should I consider using public transportation? A: Yes, taking public transportation to this event is recommended. The event is conveniently located near MAX and bus lines. Purpose: PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other.

description Abstract: Speaker's Bio: → Abstract: A well known security expert and cryptographer, Thomas H. Ptáček, once said: "<i>If You're Typing the Letters A-E-S Into Your Code You're Doing It Wrong</i>". Wait, what?!? Doesn't everyone use AES? Of course we do. Is AES broken? Nope. In this developer-oriented talk I'll explore what mistakes developers commonly make when implementing cryptosystems, just how easily these problems can be exploited in the real world, and what Thomas meant by his statement.

description ***Registration through Eventbrite is required to avoid having to manually check-in at the event*** We are celebrating Giving Tuesday by joining forces with Free Geek for our Happy Hour on November 28th. PDXWIT exists as a way to encourage, support and empower women in the Portland tech community. One way to feel empowered is to lift each other at work, and because we feel this is so important, we’ve made it the theme of this event. The conversation starter is “What's something new you can do to empower your coworkers and colleagues?” In the spirit of giving, we will be offering a number of ways to give back to your community: • Donate your used electronics to support Free Geek • P:ear is organizing a “Women Supporting the Women” bra and underwear drive! For young, homeless women, it is hard to find support for their diverse and changing bodies. Let’s give them the support they need! Bring in gift certificates to Ross or other easy-to-access clothing stores for custom purchases, or raid your wardrobe for new or very lightly used bras. All sizes are needed. Practical styles encouraged, including sports and maternity. New underwear also encouraged. • Sign up to be an individual or sustaining supporter for PDXWIT and get a green shirt! While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 to share important announcements and showcase three women in our community. ᛫ Introduction to Free Geek, including what they do and what job opportunities are available. ᛫ Pippa Arend, Development Director at p:ear, will talk about Ladies Supporting the Ladies. ᛫ Commissioner Smith will talk about how Multnomah County is giving women and people of color access to startup funds. During the event, we’ll have more to do than free-form networking: ᛫ An Activity Table where people can get creative. This is a fantastic way to meet others if large groups are not your thing. If you have trouble finding it, look for Meg Aul, our Event Activities Director. ᛫ Table Topics to help break the ice. ᛫ A section for job seekers and those hiring, to ensure people get connected.

By 2016, QuoteCenter drove more than $650 million in pro contractor sales to the world's fourth largest retailer, The Home Depot. However, with the growth in online marketplaces and the professional contractor market, QuoteCenter is fast becoming the confluence of products and services that pro contractors need to purchase the materials they need to serve their customers.

By 2016, QuoteCenter drove more than $650 million in pro contractor sales to the world's fourth largest retailer, The Home Depot. However, with the growth in online marketplaces and the professional contractor market, QuoteCenter is fast becoming the confluence of products and services that pro contractors need to purchase the materials they need to serve their customers. Although their history lies in the in-store buying experience, QuoteCenter finds itself on the doorstep of a new age in commerce that blends technology innovation with the agility of a most talented retail workforce. Join us in learning how The Home Depot QuoteCenter is leading the way into an exciting new commerce age.

description nil → Portland Linux/Unix Group Meeting Who: Kristof Van Tomme<br> What: Great Developer Experiences (DX) Through Great API Documentation<br> Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level)<br> When: Thursday, November 2nd, 2017 at 7pm<br> Why: The pursuit of technology freedom<br> Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live Developer eXperience (DX) is crucial for the success of an API. That is why API teams build developer portals where the team can publish their API reference. This is where most teams fail. A great developer experience requires more than reference docs. In this talk Kristof Van Tomme will describe the upstream and downstream developer journey, and introduce the different documentation components you need to create a great DX.

He lives in Belgium, but runs a Write The Docs meetup and an API meetup in London. Last year his consultancy (Pronovix) customized 20+ developer portals, implementing design changes, access control, search, and other features that ambitious developer portals require. In this session he will share what he has learned. Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting. Rideshares to the Lucky Lab available PLUG is open to everyone and does not tolerate abusive behavior on its mailing lists or at its meetings.
