description nil → <h3>Our Topic</h3> There are few things given more skepticism by the geeks of the world than marketing. Indeed, we like to see ourselves as above the buzzwords and cheesy stock photographs, safe in a world where the empirically best solution is the one that will win out. But there’s a problem. Marketing, and especially branding, is critical to the geek’s career. Indeed, geeks from John Gruber to Jeff Atwood have become big names in programming, and it’s not by accident- they know how to make and expose a great, genuine professional identity. Projects turn from hobbyist hacks to enterprise concerns thanks to their clear, strong branding. For the successful geek, branding is essential, but we can be just too skeptical to take advantage. Well, no longer. I’ve trudged through the marketing landscape and found the bits that anyone can be okay with applying. I’ll go through finding an authentic identity for yourself or your next project, so you can put together an appealing image without having to lie through your teeth. And I’ll back it up not with lofty promises, but with a skeptic’s favorite thing: science. <h3>Our speaker, Zoe Landon</h3> Zoe Landon has been messing with computers since childhood and making them work more or less correctly for the last 8 years. She has a Software Engineering degree mostly used for front-end web development, and a Creative Writing minor mostly used for confusing people. Zoe’s many entrepreneurial efforts have resulted in an interview with Sir Christopher Lee, vulgarities from a British rock band, and other minor successes. She can often be found partaking in trivia and wearing a silly hat. <a href="https://twitter.com/hupfen">Follow Zoe on Twitter</a>.

description nil → <p><b><a href="http://bit.ly/1ScJoTc">The Scientific Method of Troubleshooting</a>*</b></p> <p>For software engineers, troubleshooting is one of the toughest and most important skills to develop. When problems arise, a beginning developer's first instincts are to panic and head to StackOverflow. Rather than rushing to deploy quick fixes, it's important to identify the root cause.</p> <p>Biologists, chemists, and physicists increase understanding about the world by applying the logical steps of the scientific method to discover solutions to complex problems. Like scientists, developers can learn troubleshooting skills by treating each problem like a mini "science" experiment.</p> <p>In this talk we'll explore how using the scientific method can lead to greater understanding and more viable solutions to complex problems.</p> <p> <img src="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/2/7/3/600_440297011.jpeg"></p> <p><i>Blithe Rocher is a software engineer based in Oakland, California. She works for <a href="https://www.fastly.com/">Fastly</a> as part of the core engineering team to build the customer-facing Configuration API. Prior to becoming a developer, she received a PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Southern California.</i></p> <p><i> Additionally, Blithe is passionate about teaching other women how to become developers.

create Calagator::Event 1250468873 Galois tech talk: Evidence-based Trust of Symbolic Execution-based Verification Roll back

description nil → abstract: Software-dependent critical systems that impact daily life are rapidly increasing in number, size, and complexity. Unfortunately, inadequate software and systems engineering can lead to accidents that cause economic disaster, injuries, or even death. There is a growing reliance on development and verification tools to reduce costs, better manage complexity, and to increase confidence in these systems. Recent standards for critical systems have an increased emphasis on characterizing the requirements of tools used in the certification context and the particular certification obligations that these tools can discharge. In the case of avionics, DO-333 explicitly addresses the role/use of formal methods tools, e.g., allowing formal verification of code compliance to procedure contracts to complement unit testing, and DO-330 addresses tool qualifications. In this talk, I will present the Kiasan symbolic execution framework that can be used to automatically check varying degrees of functional correctness properties of critical systems — ranging from absence of runtime errors to compositional reasoning of deep semantical contracts of complex data structures. One notable feature of Kiasan is the focus on explicating its analysis results to describe inconclusive analysis results in cases where it cannot clearly refute or verify properties. Similar to other symbolic execution tools, Kiasan generates counter-examples or test cases as evidence for (conclusive) contract violations. In contrast to others, however, Kiasan can generate strong evidence for its (conclusive) verification results in the form of Coq proof objects. This is achieved by first formalizing Kiasan’s symbolic execution (abstract) semantics in Coq and proving that it is sound and relatively complete with respect to the (concrete) semantics of the system programming language; this is done once and for all (for a particular system programming language) and establishes a relatively small trust base. We believe that Kiasan’s evidence-based trust approach can be used to help in software certifications of safety-critical systems as well as in tool qualification processes. bio: Robby is a Professor in the Computing and Information Sciences (CIS) Department at Kansas State University. In addition to symbolic execution-based verification, he works on dataflow framework for analyzing security vulnerability in mobile apps, device modeling for interoperable medical devices, and a hazard analysis platform. In the past, he worked on software model checking, data/predicate abstractions, program dependences (slicing), and software specification techniques.

Want some constructive feedback or just some human bodies to listen to you yammer? Interested in listening to some tech (and non-tech) talks? Just want to eat some pizza? Come join us! We are going to have a Sounding Board night where anyone can drop in and regale us with their 5 minute talk on any subject. Sometimes it gets old torturing your roommates and co-workers, or perhaps you'd prefer a group of women to listen. We will offer you feedback, if you like, or not, if you would prefer just to practice. I'd like to get about 6-8 5 minute talks on the docket, so if you want to give a talk or know someone who does, please let me know! Special Feedback Guest will be Kristen Gallagher of Edify Education Design and presenter of "How to "do" Talks and Workshops" at ACT-W Portland.

You'll learn everything you need to know to get a job as a web developer or build your startup's app. At Epicodus, you'll learn how to build web applications from top to bottom with modern technologies and practices. More importantly than any particular skill, though, you'll learn how to think like a programmer, write good code, and pick up new languages and technologies in this fast-changing industry. We currently offer three courses: one covering PHP, JavaScript, and Drupal, one covering Ruby, JavaScript, and Rails, and a new class covering Java, JavaScript, and Android. Currently, the Java class is women-only. Stop in to meet our staff, see the classroom and ask lots of questions. And if you're working on the pre-class homework from learnhowtoprogram.com we can help with that! Check out our FAQ: http://www.epicodus.com/faq.html

description nil → #The Scientific Method of Troubleshooting **› Please RSVP via Eventbrite [HERE](http://bit.ly/1VLQ368)** For software engineers, troubleshooting is one of the toughest and most important skills to develop. When problems arise, a beginning developer's first instincts are to panic and head to StackOverflow. Rather than rushing to deploy quick fixes, it's important to identify the root cause. Biologists, chemists, and physicists increase understanding about the world by applying the logical steps of the scientific method to discover solutions to complex problems. Like scientists, developers can learn troubleshooting skills by treating each problem like a mini "science" experiment. In this talk we'll explore how using the scientific method can lead to greater understanding and more viable solutions to complex problems. *Blithe Rocher is a software engineer based in Oakland, California. She works for Fastly as part of the core engineering team to build the customer-facing Configuration API. Prior to becoming a developer, she received a PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Southern California.* *Additionally, Blithe is passionate about teaching other women how to become developers. She helped organize Rails Girls ATL, a monthly meetup for women interested in learning about programming.* **› Doors will open at 5:30 for a 30-minute networking happy half-hour! The food, beer and drinks are provided by Bellagios and New Relic. The presentation will begin right at 6p.** › Stay tuned for the latest developments and updates on this and upcoming events by joining our Meetup group, [New Relic FutureTalks PDX](http://www.meetup.com/New-Relic-FutureTalks-PDX/), and following us on Twitter @newrelic. › FutureTalk is brought to you by **New Relic** in collaboration with **[TAO](http://www.techoregon.org)**
