create Calagator::Event 1250468927 eBay Tech Tuesdays: Accessibility Part 2: Designing for People with Disabilities Roll back

description nil → Our August Tech Tuesday on the 25th will be the second part of our two-part series on accessibility for people with disabilities. As mentioned at the June Meetup, this second evening of conversations will be focused on accessibility as it pertains to developing technologies, websites, apps, and more. We’re lucky enough to be hearing from Megan Lawrence from Cognito again. (If you were here in June, she was the speaker who opened the evening talking about her experiences with her post-doctorate advisor who was blind.) Megan’s specialty is accessibility and universal design. She will speaking on designing products, services, and technology for people with disabilities. Our second speaker has yet to be confirmed. This event will be updated as soon as they are secured. If you’re involved in product or technology development on any level, you'll definitely benefit from the knowledge and experience our presenters will be sharing. As usual, doors open at 5:45pm and we’ll have pizza & sodas for you. Presentation starts at 6:30pm. We look forward to seeing you!

create Calagator::Event 1250468926 Consider "The Open Source Writing Stack" Roll back

description nil → Open source makes writing and publishing much easier both online and in print — provided you know what tools to use. This talk covers those tools (from LaTeX to WordPress) and how to choose between them. Open source tools for writing and publishing (both online and in print) continue to improve. This talk will blast through options for writing, publishing, and getting feedback — and discuss what you should care about when you’re writing. Does the GPL license on WordPress matter? What about a tool’s ability to handle Markdown? Perhaps most importantly, this talk will also cover when tools and stack questions can get in the way of actually writing. ******************* Our speaker for this meetup is Thursday Bram, who writes about technical topics of all sorts. She’s the co-founder of Urgency Inc, a technical marketing agency. Thursday gave this talk during the Open Source Bridge conference back in June.

create Calagator::Event 1250468925 PdxDevOps - Introduction To DevOps For Web Developers Roll back

description nil → Title Introduction To DevOps For Web Developers - A description and demonstration, emphasizing Docker, including a Docker container deployment to Amazon Web Services. TL;DR A two-part presentation. 1) High-level introduction to DevOps what, why, and how. 2) A scripted sprint through the process of building a trivial web page, (along with its Apache HTTP server), into a Docker container, and then deploying that container to Amazon Web Services. About This Presentation A large number of Web applications companies are embracing strategies and techniques often referred to by the umbrella-term "DevOps". That number of companies will only grow. It is just a matter of time before you as a developer will be using those techniques, implementing those strategies. As a software developer, you need to be productive quickly when you join projects which use DevOps techniques. This presentation is a heads-up, a brief introduction to some of those techniques. Deploying reliable Web applications and their updates, reliably and frequently, is a "hard problem". One strategy aimed at reducing the difficulty of deploying Web application software and its updates is named Microservices Architecture. Microservices Architecture is a strategy and analysis-design concept, not an implementation. A software technology which lends itself well to implementing Microservices Architecture is "containers". There are many kinds of containers. Docker is one of the container technologies. But, Docker is not just a container, it is much more. When you understand HOW you can use Docker for project development, you will understand WHY many companies are now, or will be, using Docker. The presentation is comprised of two parts. The first part is a very brief introduction to DevOps, Microservices Architecture, Docker, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). The second part is a live demo of how to use Docker to deploy a very simple PHP web app to AWS. We will go from "Zero to AWS" of a "Hello World" web page, live demonstrating the following: * Install Docker on a Linux box * Create a simple web app, (a "Hello World" website), consisting of one container * Perform simple tests to verify its operation * Deploy our "Hello World" website to an Amazon Web Services EC2 instance * Perform a simple test of the AWS deploy Intended Audience, Pre-requisites: The example web page uses trivial PHP code, but, the principles described and the demo are applicable to any programming language. Pre-requisites for understanding this presentation are knowledge of: * Basic computer concepts, such as CPU, memory, and storage * Basic Linux OS concepts and some common Bash commands * Basic Web technology, networks fundamentals, and client-server concept * Trivial HTML and PHP About Rex Addiscentis Rex has developed hardware and software for applications in communications, business, and SCADA. In addition to programming, Rex has managed teams of programmers. Programming languages used include high level languages and assembly languages. Delivery ecosystems include Web, native hardware, Linux, and Windows. Rex's current focus is to continue learning and teaching "The Way of DevOps".

create Calagator::Event 1250468923 Demystifying test.check w/ Justin Holguin Roll back

description nil → Clojure's test.check library for generative testing is something that a lot of people talk about, but relatively few actually use. Lots of people, myself included, find that test.check's Haskell origins make it more than a bit alienating at first, and dealing with that unfamiliarity while adopting a new testing paradigm is a lot to ask. In this short talk, I'll discuss ways of approaching generative testing in Clojure and show how generators are composed of small, simple parts. I'll also demonstrate my own library based on test.check, jen, which makes it even easier to write generators for typical Clojure data types. Bio: Justin Holguín is a full-time Clojure developer at Puppet Labs who enjoys experimenting with new ways to write, find, and fix bugs.

description nil → Randomness is philosophically interesting and really important to technologists. I will survey a bunch of random stuff, including: Applications of randomness, including cryptography and game theory (they’re related). A hypothetical Poker server will be a running example. Various definitions of “random”, including one good one and several bad ones used by most software people. Pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs). Hardware random number generators, including entropy gatherers. I will show an open-hardware open-source high speed true random number generator built by Bdale Garbee and Keith Packard that I’ve been involved with, which will provide 12Mb/s of random bits through a USB port for about $15. Statistical tests of randomness and how various popular PRNGs fail. Randomized algorithms, including my well-polished minitalk on The Perfect Shuffle and a discussion of “Telephone Poker”. Participants will write code for a couple of popular PRNGs and evaluate their performance during the session. If you want to understand randomness better (and you should), this is the talk for you.

description nil → Reading through technical books in a group is a great way to learn. You can stay motivated by reading together; better apply what you are reading by actively communicating it, as well as hearing others perspectives that will help you better understand the book. Even if you're a more experienced developer it's a great way to keep your skill sharp and share your wisdom and experience. If none of that is convincing just come and have fun with fellow ruby developers! We are starting a new book [Metaprogramming Ruby 2: Program Like the Ruby Pros](https://pragprog.com/book/ppmetr2/metaprogramming-ruby-2) by Paolo Perrotta. This week we will discuss Chapter 5-6. Please come having read the chapters and ready to discuss it. Pizza will be provided!
