update Calagator::Event 1250467676 WIT: Opportunity Knocks! How to Get into Tech Without an Engineering Degree Roll back

description “How do we get more women in tech?” The tech industry provides stability and great opportunities for career advancement, so it’s an important question - and one being asked around the world. Companies like Intel and eBay are answering by launching initiatives to increase the number of female engineers in their workforces. Non-profits are responding by establishing programs that teach girls to code so they can grow up to be developers. Universities are contributing to the conversation by offering scholarships to young adult females who choose to pursue degrees in Computer Science. While there’s no argument that all these solutions are valuable and will help further the cause, what about women who want to work in tech, but aren’t interested in coding? What options do they have? In an effort to provide answers to these questions, eBay Portland will be hosting a special WIT Startup Week event focused on looking beyond engineering roles for women in tech. Five women from the local tech community will be talking about their individual jobs and sharing their experiences as non-technical women working in an industry that is predominantly focused on technical roles. Kirsten Golden, Program Manager at PIE, will be emceeing the event. Presenters include: - Gina Hudson, Office Manager/Operations, eBay Portland - Heidi Tretheway, Director of Marketing Communications, Urban Airship - Susan Wheeler, Director of e-Discovery Services, Streamline Imaging - Grace Andrews, Co-Founder & Business Development, GraphAlchemist The WIT talk will conclude with a short Q&A, after which attendees are invited to stay for an hour of networking and have their resume critiqued by recruiters and HR representatives from eBay, Jama Software, Simple, Puppet Labs, Treehouse, and Tech Talent Link. This event is free and open to the tech community as well as the general public. If you’re working in tech, interested in working tech, or simply exploring career options, please RSVP now to join us! “How do we get more women in tech?” The tech industry provides stability and great opportunities for career advancement, so it’s an important question - and one being asked around the world.

update Calagator::Event 1250467576 PDX Design Research Group Roll back

description Rachel Shadoan, co-founder and research scientist at Akashic Labs, will be speaking on the use of hybridized research methods. More details coming soon. Join us at the next PDX Design Research Group meeting on Wednesday, January 28th, 2015! Rachel Shadoan, CEO and research scientist at Akashic Labs will give a talk entitled “Edge Case: Adventures in Hybrid User Research.” Big Data is certainly having a moment. Proponents promise that data will serve up answers to all of our most pressing questions. But what happens when all that data leads to a dead end? Rachel will tell the story of the data dead end that put her on the path from data science to ethnography--and where that path has led since. Through a variety of case studies featuring the blending of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, Rachel will show where data shines, where qualitative research techniques are necessary, and how visualization can bridge the gap between the two. Informal networking will be from 6:30 – 7:00, with Rachel’s talk to begin promptly at 7:00. Please note: If you arrive after 7:00 pm, you will not be able to get into the building, so please plan to arrive at least a few minutes before then.

description We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. # PRESENTATIONS at 7pm * Markus Roberts * David Celis & Ben Weintraub * Jamon Holmgren: *RubyMotion and ProMotion* # After presentations we'll have more socializing time. # Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month! # ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking. <em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>.

update Calagator::Event 1250467676 WIT: Opportunity Knocks! How to Get into Tech Without an Engineering Degree Roll back

description “How do we get more women in tech?” The tech industry provides stability and great opportunities for career advancement, so it’s an important question - and one being asked around the world. Companies like Intel and eBay are answering by launching initiatives to increase the number of female engineers in their workforces. Non-profits are responding by establishing programs that teach girls to code so they can grow up to be developers. Universities are contributing to the conversation by offering scholarships to young adult females who choose to pursue degrees in Computer Science. While there’s no argument that all these solutions are valuable and will help further the cause, what about women who want to work in tech, but aren’t interested in coding? What options do they have? In an effort to provide answers to these questions, eBay Portland will be hosting a special WIT Startup Week event focused on looking beyond engineering roles for women in tech. Five women from the local tech community will be talking about their individual jobs and sharing their experiences as non-technical women working in an industry that is predominantly focused on technical roles. Kirsten Golden, Program Manager at PIE, will be emceeing the event. Presenters include: Gina Hudson, Office Manager/Operations, eBay Portland Heidi Tretheway, Director of Marketing Communications, Urban Airship Susan Wheeler, Director of e-Discovery Services, Streamline Imaging Grace Andrews, Co-Founder Business Development, GraphAlchemist The WIT talk will conclude with a short Q, after which attendees are invited to stay for an hour of networking and have their resume critiqued by recruiters and HR representatives from eBay, Jama Software, Simple, Puppet Labs, Treehouse, and Tech Talent Link. Date: Thursday, February 7th, 2015 Time: 4:30pm - 6:30pm, Doors open at 4pm Location: eBay Community Lounge, 1400 SW 5th Avenue, 3rd Floor, Portland This event is free and open to the tech community as well as the general public.

update Calagator::Event 1250467673 Portland ReactJS meetup Roll back

description ###Greetings fellow Reagents! We are looking forward to our first official ReactJS user group. Dave and Eric from Idealist.org will be sharing some interesting stuff (details below) with us, and we're hoping to have one additional talk. Please let us know if you're interested in speaking/presenting. We'd like to have at least a few lightning talks as well. ###Notes on the Design of Components (Dave McCabe) Dave will discuss what idealist.org has learned about designing React components, specifically techniques for promoting simplicity, reuse, statelessness, and separation of concerns, and for dealing with asynchrony. ###Isomorphic Webpack Hot Module Replacement Boilerplate (Eric O'Connell) - Do you want to serve fully-rendered HTML from your React application? - Do you want near-instant feedback in your browser as soon as you edit your React components? - How about CSS? This talk will give the starting point for a very nice dev environment using the webpack Hot Module Replacement feature. It will include a (trivial) Express app that renders the entire React component hierarchy which will then be hydrated on the client. Variations shown will include serving API requests out of the same app, and shared client/server routing. ###TBD / Lightning talks Get in touch with us if you'd like to share your experiences! ###Greetings fellow Reagents!

If you would like to get more involved or hear what we're talking about, we'd like to invite you to [join our google group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/portland-reactjs) to join the conversations or start a new one. Also, please take a look at our [code of conduct](https://github.com/portland-react-js/meetup/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md) which let's you know what we think "being excellent to each other" should look and feel like. ##Talks: ###Notes on the Design of Components (Dave McCabe) Dave will discuss what idealist.org has learned about designing React components, specifically techniques for promoting simplicity, reuse, statelessness, and separation of concerns, and for dealing with asynchrony. ###Isomorphic Webpack Hot Module Replacement Boilerplate (Eric O'Connell) - Do you want to serve fully-rendered HTML from your React application? - Do you want near-instant feedback in your browser as soon as you edit your React components? - How about CSS?

description nil Come Join US!   Join us at Smarsh's new headquarters as we unveil TechTown Portland: People on the Move! This short video reveals why Portland is a thriving hub for tech companies, by following six individuals who explain why moving to Portland to work was the right decision. From the food carts to the beautiful scenery, Portland has something for everyone, and the growing tech scene boasts collaboration and creativity. Our artisanal culture extends from arts and crafts, breweries, and food to creating what’s next in tech. We already know how wonderful Portland is; now it’s time to give a bigger audience a glimpse of what our vibrant city has to offer. Our firms are growing with the best and brightest, but we need to attract more talent to support the local companies whose innovative technologies are gaining world acclaim. That’s the purpose behind TechTown Portland: People on the Move. We all benefit from a collective effort to attract more talent to the region. Doors open at 5:00 pm and the video will begin showing at 5:30 pm.   Thank you to the firms (Acquia, Cozy, Elemental Technologies, Globesherpa, Jama, New Relic, Puppet Labs, Smarsh,  Simple, Urban Airship, Viewpoint Construction Software,  and  Webtrends) and organizations (Portland Development Commission, Business Oregon, CBRE, JLL, and Technology Association of Oregon) that made this video possible. Special thanks to Smarsh for hosting the premiere. To stay up to date on all things TechTown follow us on Twitter!

description ## Greetings fellow Reagents! We are looking forward to our first official ReactJS user group. Dave and Eric from Idealist.org will be sharing some interesting stuff (details below) with us, and we're hoping to have one additional talk. Please let us know if you're interested in speaking/presenting. We'd like to have at least a few lightning talks as well. ## -- Talks -- ## Notes on the Design of Components (Dave McCabe) Dave will discuss what idealist.org has learned about designing React components, specifically techniques for promoting simplicity, reuse, statelessness, and separation of concerns, and for dealing with asynchrony. ## Isomorphic Webpack Hot Module Replacement Boilerplate (Eric O'Connell) - Do you want to serve fully-rendered HTML from your React application? - Do you want near-instant feedback in your browser as soon as you edit your React components? - How about CSS? This talk will give the starting point for a very nice dev environment using the webpack Hot Module Replacement feature. It will include a (trivial) Express app that renders the entire React component hierarchy which will then be hydrated on the client. Variations shown will include serving API requests out of the same app, and shared client/server routing. ## TBD / Lightning talks Get in touch with us if you'd like to share your experiences! Our first meeting will be held at Idealist.org's Portland office located at 209 SW Oak St, Portland OR 97204. Doors will be open at 6pm. Food and beverages will be provided, with vegan/GF options available. Please come at 6 to refreshed and hopefully have a few minutes to mingle so we can be ready to start promptly at 6:30pm. ###Greetings fellow Reagents!

create Calagator::Event 1250467671 Ninja Sales Techniques Roll back

description nil Do you need to be more effective at doing sales? Whether your revenue is shy of goals or doing sales creates unease for you, for many entrepreneurs, "sales" is a 4 letter word. In my upcoming class, "Ninja Sales Techniques", I help entrepreneurs become more effective at doing sales by demystifying it, breaking it down into manageable steps, and offering techniques and tips on how non-salespeople can be successful at doing sales. At the end of the course, you'll leave with a much better understanding of sales, be able to create an effective sales plan, and increase your confidence in doing sales. This 4-week class begins on 2/3, meets at the PCC Climb Center (by OMSI) for 2 hours each week and is part of the SBDC's Entrepreneur's Skill Series. For more information and to register please visit: + http://www.bizcenter.org/small-business-development-centers/portland + Click onto the "EVENTS" tab + Look for "Ninja Sales Techniques" under the "Business Basics" section. If you have little or no experience in doing sales but are responsible for bringing in the revenue, then this class is for you!
