PDXRust is back!

<p>Are you a Rust expert? Have you played with Rust a bit and told yourself you really should write more code in it, but never made the time? Do you just like learning about cool new programming languages? If any of these apply to you, come to the PDXRust meetup to learn more and meet others with similar interests!</p> <p>
We've tentatively scheduled the meetup for the first Wednesday of every month, from 6-7pm. September's meeting will be at Mozilla's Portland space. </p> <p>
What will happen at the meetup? Good question! That's largely up to attendees: What do *you* think would help you level up your Rust skills most effectively? Current ideas include talks from crate and product authors explaining how and why they implemented their projects in Rust, lightning talks about whatever interesting Rust-related things you've learned since the last meeting, peer code review time, and of course plain old hacking sessions to sit down and work on your Rust project in a room full of people who can help you make sense of the compiler errors that it generates. </p> <p>
Join us in #pdxrust on irc.freenode.net (<a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/" class="linkified">http://webchat.freenode.net/</a>) with any feedback about what you'd like to see!</p> <p>
Remember that<a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/conduct.html"> Rust's Code of Conduct</a> applies to this event.</p> <p><br>Logistics:</p> <p><br>Parking near the building can be scarce. The Mozilla office is close to the 11th&Couch stop and 10th&Couch stop on the NS streetcar line, and within walking distance of several bus lines. Covered bike parking is available in the courtyard that you cross to get to Mozilla's building, across from the Peet's Coffee and Tea seating area.</p> <p><br>The building is mostly wheelchair-accessible, in that there are no unavoidable stairs and the outside door has an automatic opening switch. Restroom doors on the 3rd floor and Mozilla office door are not automatic.</p> <p><br>Food is not yet planned for the event. If your company would like to sponsor food for the meeting, let edunham know ([masked], or IRC).</p> |

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is more than a car company. In Portland, Oregon we operate the Open Software Technology Center (OSTC), where JLR Engineers take ideas and put them into the next generation of Jaguars and Land Rovers.
A unique state-of-the-art facility, the OSTC focuses on In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI). Technology is a major driver of cars and the User Experience (UX), and the OSTC strengthens JLR’s technology focus through software development. Staffed by world-class technology innovators, connected and collaborating with the best minds worldwide, we strive to be the place where innovative consumer electronics become automotive grade.
We’re an important contributor to the Portland community, positively impacting local economic growth, bringing tech jobs to Portland and the automotive/transportation sector in Oregon. A good corporate neighbor in the Pearl District/Downtown, the OSTC supports local events and outreach programs to local education.
We also oversee the Tech Incubator, giving entrepreneurs the opportunity to develop their innovative new products and services with seed funding, space to work, and the support of JLR engineers and industry professionals.

Make it here! Have some projects you'd like to work on, but could benefit from a creative atmosphere? <a href="https://cacophonouscreations.wordpress.com/">Cat</a> and <a href="http://watershedpdx.com/">Watershed PDX</a> team up to offer just the space!
We will supply wifi, and a place to share ideas and collaborate with a community of fellow creators and makers. We'll share tips and tricks, and support your creative endeavors! The goal for the meetup is to support the local creative scene while providing an opportunity for people to build a network with people of varied skills. Makers, crafters, and creators of all ages, skill levels, and backgrounds are encouraged to bring your projects, supplies, and ideas.
From sewing to electronics to art projects, this will be an incubator for interesting collaborations. For example, if someone comes in to work on an embroidery project, another could show them how to incorporate conductive thread and LEDs to make that project light up. Tips and tricks that can be shared varied depending on who comes to the event. Things shared at previous events include working with Arduino, programming, sculpting, knitting, hand sewing, misc hobbyist electronics tips from component suppliers to soldering tricks.
All attendees will need to sign-in with Cat before entering the meetup space. All information will be kept confidential.
By attending this event you agree that neither Watershed nor myself is liable for any injury you may receive while working on your project, and that you will follow the <a href="https://cacophonouscreations.wordpress.com/workshops/code-of-conduct/">Code of Conduct</a>. |

<p>Let's kick off the new year with our fellow PHP Users at the new Treehouse office! We have two awesome talks lined up for you.</p> <p>The next major version of PHP is HERE! Robert Parker will give us an introduction to PHP 7.</p> <p>PHP 7 is significantly faster and ships with many new features such as strict mode, return types and more. Despite all these big changes the number of backwards incompatibilities are minimal. We will go over the new features of PHP 7 and discuss some of the backwards compatibility breaks so you can start using PHP 7 when it is released.</p> <p>Also join Alena Holligan to learn how to Exploit the Brain for Fun and Profit.</p> <p>Sure, you could improve yourself or promote your project the normal way, with hard work and years of slow, incremental progress. Or you could use the brain's built-in cheat codes and hack your way to success. Plagued by a raft of bugs and unwanted features, use these to your advantage to teach, learn and persuade. Tour of some of the most amusing bugs and exploits as we interface with our brains.</p> <p>Food and drink will be provided.</p> <p>Thanks to Treehouse for hosting this month's meeting!</p> |

<p>I'd like to get every one together and talk about what approaches everyone is using to layout in their apps and hear about your big wins and/or pain points with that approach. </p> <p>Do you use Autolayout? Do you set it up in code or Interface Builder? Maybe a mix of both? What about Size Classes? Maybe static numbers everywhere and big switch statements? Come share your thoughts and experiences and learn from others in round table style discussion on the topic this Wednesday night!</p> <p>Sorry for the late notice, I was surprised this week was already the 2nd Wednesday... I'll be trying for better lead time in the future! Hope to see you there!</p> |

Portland's testing user group for Ruby developers! Conversation and peer mentoring starting at 6, presentations at 7. For more information, follow @TestRubyPDX on Twitter or join the #testrubypdx Slack channel (under PDX.rb).
This month, get your match on with a double feature on RSpec's custom matchers! Stephen Prater will show us how to get our custom matchers working and then Robb Shecter will take it to the cloud in a presentation on testing web app configurations.
### Stephen Prater - Custom Matchers for Fun, Profit, and World Domination
If you're only using RSpec's built-in matchers, you're missing out on an opportunity to create more robust and expressive specs. Using custom matchers, you can take full advantage of the framework's capabilities.
### Robb Shecter - RSpec in the Cloud: Using custom RSpec matchers to manage web app configurations
Custom matchers are one of the most powerful descriptive features of the RSpec API. In this talk, Robb Shecter will show how to use them in a novel context: Testing live web application configurations. |

Global finance is an opaque landscape for individual investors. All too often, our investments can end up tied to socially and environmentally harmful industries, without our knowledge. How can we empower ourselves to act in this sphere, and direct our money toward profitable, progressive businesses?
If you long to operate with integrity in all parts of your life but feel underequipped or bewildered by the idea of aligning your investments with your values, this workshop is a chance to learn essential portfolio management skills and link your financial resources with local resilience.
In this safe, supportive and constructive workshop you will:
Learn the terminology you need to speak confidently with your financial advisors
Learn basic portfolio management tools so you can analyze your own financial profile and needs
Clarify your personal values and connect them with your investments
Determine what portion of your portfolio is prudent to allocate to local or direct investing
Explore a list of potential investments based in OR and practice what you learned by assessing their risk, return and alignment with your values
Connect with like-minded individuals on a similar quest!
