description	<h3>21 October 2015 — Doors at 6pm, Talk at 6:30pm</h3> <h3>Our Topic</h3> With this new surge of bootcamp graduates and career changers gone tech, we’ve found ourselves with an interesting conundrum - there is so much talent out there, but these new candidates are "just too green." Employers are often concerned about the costs of on-boarding junior developers. Meanwhile, knowledgable, enthusiastic, and bright junior candidates are chomping at the bit, waiting for their opportunity to be recognized for their unique talents. This talk will explore pieces to the puzzle that will help transform this new influx of juniors from "green" to "lean, mean, coding machines," consequently making them invaluable members of your team. However, this can only be accomplished if both parties are equally invested in the process. <h3>Our speaker, Amy Vaillancourt-Sals</h3> A professional-musician-turned-developer, Amy graduated from <a href="http://www.epicodus.com/">Epicodus</a> (a Portland-based programming bootcamp) and landed a job at <a href="http://thinkshout.com/">ThinkShout</a> where she builds creative web solutions for non-profit organizations. Previous work includes being a community relations specialist for the online music tech companies, Discogs and Bandcamp. When she’s not coding, or actively striving to make the world a better place, she can be found swinging from a high-flying trapeze, or kiteboarding down the Columbia river.	→	<h3>21 October 2015 — Doors at 6pm, Talk at 6:15pm</h3> <h3>Our Topic</h3> With this new surge of bootcamp graduates and career changers gone tech, we’ve found ourselves with an interesting conundrum - there is so much talent out there, but these new candidates are "just too green."

description	nil	→	We're launching ProductTank here in PDX! ProductTank is an opportunity for Product professionals to learn and network. For our first meetup, we have a great speaker lined up and hopefully one more to announce! Samuel Hulick Growing Your User Base with Better Onboarding Frustration drives people to sign up for products in hopes of improving their lives. The space between the intolerable “before” and the ideal “after” is your project’s “improvement trajectory.” And once this is defined, it’s easier to identify key moments in the customer journey and match them to design patterns. Samuel shares strategies that help you stop hemorrhaging signups. You’ll learn to create quality onboarding experiences that target your users’ frustrations and move them from A to B in their lives, instead of just A to B in your app. About Samuel Samuel Hulick runs UserOnboard.com and is the author of The Elements of User Onboarding. He’s combined UX savvy and a cat-like curiosity for measuring UX impact to become an expert in onboarding. His approach is shaped by over a decade of web experience, theories taken from behavioral psychology, cognitive development, video game design, and even filmmaking.

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 [Working With Ruby Threads](http://www.jstorimer.com/products/working-with-ruby-threads) by Jesse Storimer. We will be discussing chapters 10-14 ('Signaling Threads with Condition Variables' - 'Thread Safety in Rails'). Please come having read the chapters and ready to discuss it. Pizza will be provided! ##Book Summary Threading and concurrency are hot topics in the Ruby community. Want to join the conversation? You've probably heard people around you talking mutexes, race conditions, or the GIL. Do you wonder what the heck they're talking about? This book is a gentle introduction to these concepts and will give you the knowledge you need to become your teams resident concurrency expert.

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 ### Tim Krajcar - kenny_g.rb: Making Ruby Write Smooth Jazz For too long, computers have been shut out of the red-hot music-to-listen-to-while-relaxing-in-the-bathtub genre. Today, that all changes. Our smooth-jazz-as-a-service startup is primed to disrupt this stale industry. In this talk we'll introduce the basic protocols of digital music and take a whirlwind tour of musical harmonic theory. We'll survey some Ruby tools that make noise and we'll dig deep into using Ruby to generate beautiful piano music with audience-selected chords. It will all culminate in a showdown between man and machine to decide the fate of the musical universe as our program battles a real live musician. ### Dana Scheider: How and Why to Love Cucumber Cucumber is a powerful and enjoyable tool to use when it is incorporated effectively into your test suite. This talk explains what Cucumber and the rich ecosystem surrounding it have to offer, and why it isn’t really as clunky or awkward as a lot of developers think. ### Lightning Talks ⚡️ There will be a whiteboard to sign up on arrival (first come first serve). # 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. 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>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there!

Today, that all changes. Our smooth-jazz-as-a-service startup is primed to disrupt this stale industry. In this talk we'll introduce the basic protocols of digital music and take a whirlwind tour of musical harmonic theory. We'll survey some Ruby tools that make noise and we'll dig deep into using Ruby to generate beautiful piano music with audience-selected chords. It will all culminate in a showdown between man and machine to decide the fate of the musical universe as our program battles a real live musician. ### Lightning Talks ⚡️ There will be a whiteboard to sign up on arrival (first come first serve). # 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.

He will discuss about how both disciplines have influenced each other and the benefits gained. Scott is also one of the keynote speakers for the PNSQC’s October events and will be tailoring his presentation specifically for SQAUG!

description	nil	→	<b>Come to ChickTech’s Scrum Workshop</b> to get a refresher or an introduction to the world of Scrum. For two Wednesday evenings in a row, you will go through the core aspects of the Scrum Framework. This includes why Scrum works, the key players on each Scrum team, and how product development occurs within Scrum. Registration for this event includes both workshop sessions. You can register for the event via <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/chicktechs-scrum-workshop-tickets-18575133725" target="_blank">Eventbrite</a>. Scrum is an agile way to manage a project, usually software development. Agile software development with Scrum is often perceived as a methodology; but rather than viewing Scrum as methodology, <b>think of it as a framework for managing a process</b>. -Mountain Goat Software <b>The Instructor: Austin Richter, Scrum Master</b> Austin, a Certified Scrum Master, has been working within the Scrum Framework for two years. Before that he worked as Project Coordinator on a team that was transitioning from a Waterfall approach to Scrum. <b>Session 1, September 30th: Introduction to Scrum and Building a Backlog </b> The first session will offer an overview/refresher of the Scrum Framework. In this workshop we will explore the differences betwen a Waterfall approach and the Scrum Framework. This will highlight the importance of feedback to a team. We will demonstrate these concepts by constructing a bridge and building backlogs. During the building a backlog activity we will explore the three roles on the Scrum Team. <b>Session 2, October 7th: Sprint Simulation </b> In this workshop you will build something for a customer using the Scrum process. Through this exercise you will go through each step of the Scrum process and produce the necessary artifacts to be successful in a given Sprint. From building a task board to demonstrating your product to the stakeholders, you will be immersed into the scrum process during the Sprint Simulation. <b>By the end of this workshop series</b> you'll have a comprehensive understanding of Scrum. Part of ChickTech’s mission is to retain women in technology. We intend for this event to build community and add skills to resumes. We encourage anyone who wants to practice the Scrum workflow to register for this event! <b>Dates:</b> September 30th and October 7th <b>Time:</b> Doors open at 5:30pm and close around 8:30pm. The sessions will run 6-8pm <b>Location:</b> <a href="http://www.deskhub.com/portland" target="_blank">DeskHub </a> 334 NW 11th Ave Portland, OR 97209 Registration pays for dinner both evenings, along with the class costs.

description

Happy September! This month's Tech Tuesday is just a few weeks away, and we're shifting gears a bit and bringing the focus back around to the entrepreneur. During the course of starting, running, and growing a business, almost every founder will ask themselves at least once, but more likely numerous times, “Should I sell?” And then they will go back and forth tossing around all the reasons why or why not, usually losing a lot of sleep and sanity in the process. For September's Tech Tuesday we've put together a panel of local founders who answered that hard question. You'll hear about why they chose to sell or not, if they’d make the same decision if given the opportunity again, if they'd do anything differently next time, and more. Panelists · James Keller, former co-founder of Small Society which was purchased by Walmart Labs in 2011 · Josh Reich, CEO & co-founder of Simple, which was purchased by BBVA in 2014 · David Nelsen, Investor and Entrepreneur, and former CEO and Co-Founder of Giftango Corporation, which was purchased by InComm in 2012 Moderator: Sara Morrow, Talent Partner, ebay Marketplaces Not only do I expect this will be a very interesting – and entertaining - evening of insights, experiences, and shoulda/coulda/wouldas... but what you learn might help you stay a little more sane and rested when it comes time to ask yourself, "To sell or not sell?" RSVP here: http://bit.ly/1OboEbC See you on the 29th! -- Doors open at 5:45pm and we’ll have pizza & sodas for you. Presentation starts at 6:30pm.

Panelists: · James Keller, former co-founder of Small Society which was purchased by Walmart Labs in 2011 · Josh Reich, CEO & co-founder of Simple, which was purchased by BBVA in 2014 · David Nelsen, Investor and Entrepreneur, and former CEO and Co-Founder of Giftango Corporation, which was purchased by InComm in 2012 Moderator: Sara Morrow, Talent Partner, ebay Marketplaces Not only do I expect this will be a very interesting – and entertaining - evening of insights, experiences, and shoulda/coulda/wouldas... but what you learn might help you stay a little more sane and rested when it comes time to ask yourself, "To sell or not sell?" RSVP here: http://bit.ly/1OboEbC See you on the 29th! -- Doors open at 5:45pm and we’ll have pizza & sodas for you. Presentation starts at 6:30pm.

For our upcoming Networking Night at <a href="http://quickleft.com">Quick Left</a>, we're switching things up and featuring a talk on advanced networking techniques by <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/karenmokeefe">Karen O'Keefe</a>. This is a very important topic that each of us will face throughout our careers, and we're very lucky to have Karen joining us to impart her knowledge and experience. Program 6:00-6:30 - Check-in + Networking 6:30-6:45 - Women Who Code Intro + Quick Left Intro 6:45-7:45 - Women and Negotiation: Professional Happines, One Conversation at a Time 7:45-8:30 - Networking + Wrap-up Women and Negotiation: Professional Happiness One Conversation at a Time When we hear the word ‘negotiation,’ most of us think about deal-making, buying and selling on behalf of a company, legal settlements, union/management contract negotiations, and mergers and acquisitions. In these cases, the negotiators follow a formal process to achieve their successes. While important, not everyone is involved in buying and selling in this sense. Many of us are navigating workplace issues on our way to becoming respected professionals and leaders. Examples of our work conversations revolve around getting resources to do our job, priority for our projects, for getting new opportunities, support for our ideas, for advancement, to hammer out budget agreements, a change in title, or a change in work schedule. Negotiating skill is critical to accomplishing these goals. Today, we will learn how to apply a deal-maker’s formal negotiation process to our work conversations in order to achieve our goals, to bring professional happiness and to develop as leaders in our organizations. About Karen O'Keefe: Karen O’Keefe is the founder of Advanced Negotiation Strategies, a training and consulting firm dedicated to helping professionals and business owners achieve breakthrough results by building personal and company-wide negotiation strength. She works with business owners and their teams to develop overall negotiation strategy, to prepare and plan for negotiations, and to build executives’ and managers’ negotiation skills through training. Prior to launching her own firm, Karen enjoyed a successful 25-year career with several large manufacturing firms, where she held operations and financial responsibility for performance in the supply chain disciplines. She negotiated multi-million dollar logistics contracts and designed and managed service programs to support the flow of goods from suppliers through to the firms’ customers.
