description nil → With​ ​two English degrees,​ ​Lacey Williams Henschel has​ ​identified some concrete ways​ ​having a Lit background makes for​ ​a better developer. This talk discusses how developers can take lessons from literature to write more readable code, make better tests, and create more usable websites. We’ll compare Two Scoops of Django to Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style, that familiar Freshman Comp text, exploring how they are more alike than they are different. We’ll discuss the importance of readability, creating a “story arc” in your tests through good user stories, how variables names have characterization, and the importance of whitespace and good formatting to everyone. We’ll also compare PEP8, the Python style guide, to the MLA Handbook; there’s a reason both disciplines have a style guide!

description nil → RSVP please, at http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Azure-User-Group/events/229821355/ In this talk, we'll hear why application performance monitoring (APM) is fundamentally important for cloud computing and how APM can be implemented in Azure. We'll survey a variety of performance monitoring features that are native to Azure as well as 3rd party vendors that offer APM solutions in the Azure marketplace such as Riverbed AppInternals, New Relic, and Microsoft AppInsights. We'll also hear how performance monitoring strategies are different depending on whether you're monitoring IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS assets, and we'll see specific examples that demonstrate APM techniques for Azure virtual machines, Azure Cloud Services, Azure Service Fabric, Azure Web Sites, and Sharepoint Online.

create Calagator::Event 1250470006 Confessions of an Entrepreneur "Wild Friends: The Story of Two Accidental Entrepreneurs" Roll back

description nil → And so the story goes… …at the University of Oregon, Keeley and Erika were in their college apartment, scraping the bottom of yet another empty jar of peanut butter. As hungry college students and athletes, they ate a lot of peanut butter, and on this occasion, neither of them felt like biking to the store in the rain to buy more. So, they decided to try making their own! That day, Wild Friends was born. More than four years have passed since the day they made that first jar. They’ve left their college apartment behind and are now based in Portland, Oregon. They’ve launched dozens of new flavors of nut butter and sell in thousands of stores across the country. However, despite all these changes, a few things have stayed the same — most importantly, their passion for awesome tasting products, made with the healthiest whole ingredients they can find.

Join a community ready to help you take your concept to the next level! We're looking for passionate educators, parents, students, developers, designers and business/non-profit professionals who want to make a difference in education now.
