Join us for our monthly gathering to discuss everything from incident response to cross-team collaboration to automation frameworks. Food provided. Please RSVP! Please note the new location! THIS MONTH: Containers: A Guide for the Perplexed Orchestration, overlay network, docker, container runtimes, OCI, images, namespaces, overlayFS, pods, routes … and you thought development using containers was supposed to be easier! Instead it’s just confusing. Kubernetes geek Josh Berkus will step you through the various layers of the new container “stacks”, explaining the concepts and requirements behind each component without hype or branding. You’ll learn how containers are different from VMs, what they’re good for, and what other bits of supporting infrastructure you’ll end up using with them. Josh Berkus works for Red Hat where he juggles containers, Kubernetes, and immutable OS implementations. He is also a long-time PostgreSQL contributor, and messes around with Ansible, Go, Python, and various big data tools. He lives in the NE. Writing CLI Applications in Go Automation is fun. Especially when what you’re automating was hard to do the first time and you really don’t ever want to it by hand again. And doubly so if you want to spare someone else that pain and/or time sink. This talk will cover what Go is, why you should be adding it to your proverbial toolbelt, and we’ll go through a concrete example of using Go to write a CLI application. Steven “mrxinu” Klassen has been writing code in one form or another for the last 20 years. For the last 10, he's been working as a SolarWinds consultant, most recently for a company based in Austin, TX called Loop1. For his customers he provides the glue to get SolarWinds talking to other products and vice versa. But, above all, he loves to help make complicated concepts easier to understand. His latest passion is the Go programming language. He started using it in October 2016 and has been using it to write everything from quick CLI applications to complicated services. This zest for the language is what prompted the talk. When he’s not writing code he’s playing PC games and spending time with his wife Kayla and their fur babies - two dogs & two cats. pdxdevops is a Portland, Oregon user group that explores the glorious intersection of software development and systems operations, and shares practical advice on working effectively in an era of agile infrastructure, server automation and cloud computing.

description	nil	→	<h1>Want to take your career to the next level?</h1> <h1>Practical, Hands-on Training for Advanced Excel Formulas & Functions</h1> Microsoft Excel is perhaps the most important computer software program used in business today. That's why so many workers and prospective employees are required to learn Excel to enter or remain in the workplace. Unfortunately many college students, recent grads, and professionals haven’t mastered Excel or have the adequate Excel skills employers are seeking. According to Payscale, “ 80 percent of job openings require spreadsheet and word-processing software skills. Yet so many people never even give Excel a chance because it has an intimidating stigma around it.” If you walk through the finance or accounting department at any major corporate office, you will see computer screens filled with Excel spreadsheets outlining financial results, budgets, forecasts, and plans used to make big business decisions. Marketing and Product profesionals using Excel to list customer and sales targets; managing thier sales force and planning future marketing plans based on past results. Pivot tables to quickly and easily summarize customer and sales data by category with a quick drag-and drop. HR professionals using giant spreadsheets full of employee data and understand exactly where the costs are coming from and how to best plan and control them for the future. Supply logistic professional to manage inventory and forecasts demand. In essence, you can turn an entire department around just because you know how to manipulate data in order to get an aggregate view. <h1>STRUCTURE OF COURSE:</h1> Advanced functions and formulas Logical functions Conditional functions Financial functions Text functions Date functions Array formulas Lookups and data tables Using lookup functions Using MATCH and INDEX Creating data tables Advanced data management Validating cell entries Advanced filtering Advanced charting Chart formatting options Combination charts Graphical objects PivotTables and PivotCharts Working with PivotTables Rearranging PivotTables Formatting PivotTables PivotCharts Exporting and Importing Data Exporting and importing text files Getting external data Analytical Tools Goal Seek Scenarios Macros and Visual Basic Running and recording a macro Working with VBA code <h1>BENEFITS</h1> Not only are many business professionals using Excel to perform everyday functional tasks in the workplace, an increasing number of employers rely on Excel for decision support.The ability to analyze data is a powerful skill that helps you make better decisions. Microsoft Excel is one of the top tools for data analysis and the built-in pivot tables are arguably the most popular analytic tool. <h3>MAKE YOUR RESUME STAND OUT</h3> They are NOT seeing if you simply have Excel as a skill. They are diving deeping when it comes to determining which candidate to interview and hire. They look for Pivot Table, VLOOKUP, Macros, VBA, Conditional Formatting, Charting and Filtering…These are far more telling of your ability to an employer then writing Excel. Someone who writes VLOOKUP, Pivot Table, Filtering demonstrates an ability to analyse data and so has eliminated a potential barrier in the mind of the hiring manager reviewing your resume. In essence, use actual Excel functions in your Resume! <h3>INCREASE YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL</h3> Did you know that Excel know-how can instantly increase your job prospects as well as your starting salary? Excel is a transferrable skill that any hiring manager understands is critical. Research shows job applicants who know MS Excel make $22.66 per hour on average compared to the $20.14 per hour their peers make who don’t know the program. That’s roughly an extra $20 per eight-hour workday and $100 per work week, simply for knowing how to use a single computer program. Moreover, full-time employees in certain industries can see a starting salary bump of anywhere from $1,000 to $7,000 per year based on their Excel skills. That’s not chump change you can ignore. <h3>INSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR?</h3> A majority 63 percent of twenty-somethings want to start their own business. How will you stay organized, track data, or forecast your finances if you’re not spreadsheet-savvy? Many millennials simply want their first job. But, what about your performance once someone hires you? The biggest complaint employers have about millennials is that they lack basic hard and soft skills.These skills include things like teamwork and problem solving, but also basic administrative skills like MS Word and Powerpoint. Once you’re hired, you want to meet the basic requirements of your role without stressing. <h1>ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR</h1> Martin Jetton has 30+ years of advanced supply chain analytics, predictive analytics, and statistical consulting experience. He's currently a Principal at the Liberty Advisor Group, where he works in advanced supply chain analytics. In his previous role, he was the Senior Predictive Consultant at Corios; where he developed predictive models and scorecards, forecast trends, identify uncertainties, and assign the ideal strategies to maximize performance.

Ideally, you are lucky enough to join a team that makes you excited to jump out of bed and come to work each day. Teams like this create amazing work often at a rapid pace. So how do we get there? How do we encourage, develop, and motivate a high performing team? On the flip side, what ideas have failed or harmed teams in our previous attempts that we may learn from and avoid?

Agenda: - Discuss how we're planning to help PJUG appeal to a broader more diverse audience. - Chris Hansen will present his take-aways from JavaOne last month. - Sean Sullivan from gilt.com will present on web application security and Apache Struts. Abstract: In September 2017, Equifax announced a major security breach. The breach may have exposed sensitive data for over 100 million US consumers. The breach was due, in part, to a vulnerability in an older release of Apache Struts 2.x This talk will examine the vulnerabilities from the Apache Struts framework. We will review the underlying Java code and discuss the fixes that were applied by the Apache Struts team. Presenter: Sean Sullivan is a Principal Software Engineer at HBC Digital.

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. QuoteCenter has become a model for employers in the Portland area for how to build a strong, diverse team. An original Clark County rural startup, they struggled early to build a diverse team of professionals. In the last 9 months, however, 40% of their 51 new hires have been women. Agenda: Welcome “How we turned the QuoteCenter diversity trend around” by Mike Lee, Talent Acquisition “Where I fit in at the Quote Center” by Kelly Smith, Senior Reporting Analyst “The only one in the room: success and failure on the way to diversity" by Whitney Williams, Front End Developer Q & A Event FAQ Q. What is the parking situation? A. Paid street parking is available Q. Is there secure bike parking? A. The secure bike parking is in the parking garage and requires a FOB for the building. However, there are racks in front of the building Q. Should I consider using public transportation? A. We are close to the street and not far from bus routes. However, we would recommend driving and plenty of street parking is available. Purpose: PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization.

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. QuoteCenter has become a model for employers in the Portland area for how to build a strong, diverse team. An original Clark County rural startup, they struggled early to build a diverse team of professionals. In the last 9 months, however, 40% of their 51 new hires have been women.

create Calagator::Event 1250472690 AgilePDX: If You're Agile, Dance! Roll back

description	nil	→	Today companies need Agile throughout. But how can they go beyond software to include even board and basic legal structure? Share and comment on the journey Jutta Eckstein and I are on to answer that question. We first generalize the Manifesto to values of: self-organization, transparency, constant customer focus, and continuous learning. Then, deepen these values by adding Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy. A new organigram emerges that synthesizes board, inspiration, resource support, and value center perspectives and focuses them on the customer. Finally, use Cynefin to implement company-wide Agility, and then dance! Format: The presentation will cycle between presenting ideas, posing questions audience small groups, and providing brief moments for sharing and reflection. Bio: John Buck lives near Washington, DC, USA, and is a division director for The Sociocracy Group, an international foundation headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands. John has led dozens of sociocracy implementation projects for a variety of organizations around the globe, ranging from schools and neighborhoods to NGOs and for-profit manufacturers and IT companies using Agile. He believes that such basic values as equality, effectivness, and transparency can make our work places dramatically more elegant and sustainable. He excels in customizing sociocracy principles to each organization’s particular concerns, work schedules, and professional areas. John was the first person outside of The Netherlands to receive consultant certification from The Sociocracy Group in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He has translated numerous documents from the original Dutch and is coauthor (with Sharon Villines) of We the People: Consenting to a Deeper Democracy, 2007 & updated 2017. Another book, Company-Wide Agility with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, and Sociocracy, coauthored with Jutta Eckstein, is 70% complete in LeanPub.com. He also is part of a joint project with Fujitsu's Advanced Software Lab to create an app called Weaver to support meetings in-person, online, and offline. Education and credentials -- Master of Science degree in Quantitative Sociology, The George Washington University -- Certified Sociocratic Consultant
