Ruby Book Club
Roll back

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.*

Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting

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.
<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.

Snowdrift.coop is a volunteer-built non-profit community project focused on a new sustainable matching system to coordinate the global community in better funding shareable freely-licensed works. The Snowdrift.coop platform uses the Yesod web framework written in Haskell. Other technologies and relevant work includes basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript and general design, organizing, and other non-technical tasks.
While the community includes people on many continents across the globe, we have a strong Portland foundation with one of the co-founders, the lead developer, and several active volunteers and supporters in the area.
At this meetup, we'll mix casual chat with focusing on some refactoring on the Haskell side and hacking on HTML/CSS stuff for the [new design](https://snowdrift.coop/p/snowdrift/blog/new-design-2). |

#Full Stack Robotics
**› Please RSVP via Eventbrite [HERE](http://bit.ly/1KPxncX)**
The Internet of Things has begun to emerge, and the Age of Robots has come upon us. What are the technologies that will help make it real? In this talk, we will share our vision of "Full Stack Robotics" based on open source software such as Cylon.js, Gobot, and more, with live demonstrations of actual robotic devices.
"Full Stack Robotics" consists of:
- Front-ends & consists Interfaces
- Frameworks & Tools
- Integrations
- Things
We will show a complete application with plenty of live demos of actual devices, along with some of the code that makes it all work. Time to get real about the Robot Evolution!
*Ron Evans is a software developer who has been active in the free and open source community for over 20 years. As "Ringleader" of The Hybrid Group, he helps clients solve some of their most difficult technical and business problems. Ron has been a keynote speaker or presenter at conferences such as Maker Faire, GopherCon, JSConf, RubyConf, FutureRuby, Ignite, L.A. Ruby Conference, Scottish Ruby Conf, and MagmaConf.

SQAUG Presents:
QA and Poetry - how these two disciplines are surprisingly related at Con-Way 2055 NW Savier, Portland, OR 97209 on Wednesday October 21, 2015 5:30pm until 7:30pm
Event is FREE and Open to the Public
This month, we are excited to welcome Scott Poole for a talk on how writing a poem is similar to QA. You have to anticipate the pitfalls an audience and a user might fall into. To illustrate this, Scott will read several humorous poems that reflect on this QA type experience. 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!
About our speaker: Scott Poole is most well known as the “House Poet” on the weekly Live Wire! public radio variety show, taped in Portland and broadcast nationally by Public Radio International. However, he is also a software developer. Currently, he’s the Senior Web Developer for Columbia United Providers in Vancouver, WA. He’s been writing code for 9 years and poetry for 25. He is the author of three books of poetry, The Cheap Seats, Hiding from Salesmen and, most recently, The Sliding Glass Door.
Agenda:
5:30-6:00PM: Pizza and Networking
6:00-6:15PM: SQAUG Announcements
6:15-7:30PM: Presentation/Q&A
Details:
• Event is Free to the public
• Onsite parking (directions below)
• Light Hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served
• No RSVP is required to attend
SQAUG is Portland/Vancouver area’s only Software Quality Assurance User Group! We are in our 3rd year and would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone who would like to participate in a user group dedicated to growing the Quality Assurance field.
SQAUG is made up of a group of SQA professionals who have banded together in an open forum to learn from each other through a series of interactive discussions, engaged debates, training presentations, exploring tools, and general networking and sharing of job opportunities. Our goals are to expand knowledge about Software Quality to all professionals who are passionate about their careers, and take Software Quality seriously.

Travis will share his career journey leading up to this position at IDExperts (through a series of practical Q&As). We will then do in-depth research on what IDExperts is all about... their clients, competition, products, value proposition and much, much more!
The experience and value you will get from this meetup is going to be unlike any other you ever saw... You have my personal guarantee!
Oh, as always, this meetup is POWERED BY FREE PIZZA :) |

<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. Any amount left over supports ChickTech: High School.
A big thank you to our event location provider, DeskHub!
<b>ChickTech: Career events are open to all genders with a focus on women.</b> |

eBay Tech Tuesdays: "To Sell or Not to Sell? That is the Question."
Roll back
| 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. |

Human Centered Design seems to be all the buzz lately - but what is it, really, and how can we use it the benefit Human Resources? Come learn what HCD is all about and how it can make the HR practitioner's life (gasp) better! In this interactive workshop - complete with snacks, post-it notes galore, and plenty of time out of chairs - we'll discover the steps of the HCD process. We'll have ample time to work in small groups, where you can practice applying the framework to issues that group members bring forward - everything from team performance, productivity, retention, and more. Our goal is to help you gain a level of comfort and competency with HCD so that you can leverage it for small or big change in your organization, no matter where you are.
You can expect to leave the workshop knowing:
- What the HCD framework offers and how it works
- How to apply HCD to your work in a lean, daily manner
- How to use HCD to improve your workflow and solve specific workplace issues
Once registered, you'll receive a pre-workshop packet. We invite you to review the material in preparation for the workshop (we promise it's worth it!). At the workshop, you'll receive a handful of useful, editable materials that you can use again and again.
We look forward to meeting you and sharing the HCD framework with you - to revolutionize HR!
This workshop is co-taught by Kristen Gallagher of Edify and Nitya Wahklu of Drawing Bridges:
Nitya Wakhlu is the founder at Drawbridge Innovations LLC, where she specializes in using Visual Thinking and Experiential Learning to create whole-brained experiences that support learning and change.
Nitya has a bachelor's degree in Electrical and Telecommunications engineering and an MBA focused on human resources and organization development. She brings over eight years of facilitation experience working with corporate, government and non-profit groups across North America, India, Africa, and Europe.
Nitya is best known for her work in learning design and visual facilitation. As a visual facilitator, Nitya brings a ninja-like listening ability to the table. She distills what she hears and creates a large-scale visual mural of key insights and emerging conversation patterns. This live visual capture prevents precious insight from being lost, stimulates higher levels of group creativity and helps the group truly “see the big picture”.
Things that make her eyes shine include: working with smart and diverse groups, learning about the brain, and studying behavior change. Find her at http://www.nityawakhlu.com/
Kristen Gallagher is the founder of Edify, a learning design consultancy that helps technology and creative companies grow their employees, customers, and businesses. She brings over eight years of instructional design, alternative learning environment experience, event management, business development, and nonprofit education experience to Edify. Recently, her focus has been on building educational experiences that empower people, especially new employees, women and small business owners.
Gallagher has presented research, workshops, and facilitated experiences at conferences and events of all sizes for over six years, focusing primarily on art history, museum, and education topics. She has experience presenting for a variety of audiences, though she prefers to focus on adult learning and treats "presentations" as learning experiences rather than show-and-tell sessions. Effective, efficient programs, events, and strategies are what motivate her, and in every project, she strives to engage teams and stakeholders to uncover the solutions for their needs (and often solve problems they didn't know they had!)

Reactive-Interactive Approaches to Visualization of F# jobs

<p>Join <a href="https://twitter.com/lenadroid">Alena Dzenisenka</a> as she presents "<b>Reactive-Interactive Approaches to Visualization of F# jobs</b>"</p> <p>This talk will show lightweight approaches for web based visualization of server side computations for data science jobs written in F#. These jobs you'd often launch some analytic algorithms on input data and the algorithms may run either on a single local server or be distributed across the cloud, clusters or other locations. There can be different data sources, different places or locations where algorithms are being performed, and various kinds of jobs that produce the updated overall result each time when data changes, updates or new data comes. This talk will cover these concepts and ideas.</p> <p>An example we can use is with MBrace or other cloud computing framework for performing jobs. If updates are frequent and it's important to keep an eye on these metrics, having an interactive visualization for the results is important.</p> <p>During the talk we will take a number of jobs, go through the options we have and see the examples of how to use and combine F#, SignalR web sockets and JS together for visualization of various computing job results to display them in a beautiful web interactive and flexible way.</p> |
