create Calagator::Event 1250459869 Portland Linux/Unix Group: Free Content and the Data Revolution Roll back

description nil → Presentation Free Content and the Data Revolution by Daniel Hedlund The amount of information available on the Internet has exploded in recent years and shows no sign of slowing down. Most of this information is freely available to anyone with a web browser --- but what does free mean? Daniel Hedlund will lead a discussion on the meaning of open data and explore how the open source movement is no longer constrained to the realm of software.

description nil → Imagine trying to drive to a town you’ve never been to without any map or directions. It would be pretty hard, wouldn’t it? Yet that’s exactly how most people do Search Engine Optimization (SEO). They don’t have a roadmap to see where they are, where they’re going to and how to get there. I’ll show you how to create a roadmap for SEO by analyzing your website to discover what areas of SEO you’ll need to work on to beat your competitors and be #1 on Google. <strong>This is what you’ll learn:</strong> How to check and compare your site against your top competitors based on: - Number of Indexed Pages - Number of Incoming Links - Link Quality - Anchor Text - PageRank - Site Age - On-Page Optimization Score - Your AllInText, AllInTitle and AllInAnchor Positions Why every search engine result page (SERP) is different and how to adjust your strategy based on what works in your industry. By the end of the webinar you’ll have a very clear idea as of why your competitors are ranking above you on Google and exactly what to do to change that. The webinar is on March 9, 2011, at 1pm PST. It’ll be 30-minutes long and we’ll have a 15-minute Q&A session after that. <strong>Register Now:</strong> http://www.theoutsourcingcompany.com/blog/internet-marketing-events/free-webinar-competitive-analysis-for-seo/

description Working Title: Getting the right test results Mark Knell will introduce a new way of creating tests cases - ones that pass only when they should. "This transformation in how you think about your code will be recognizable to anyone who does TDD. But while there's extensive tool support for running tests, or writing and refactoring code... there are few tools for writing tests." Examples in C#. This event is free and is at our new location, Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supporting agile in Portland). The program starts at 7:00 pm. After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion. → Join us March 16th at 6:30 pm as AgilePDX explores New Horizons in TDD. Two local experts, Mark Knell and Marty Nelson will preview their proposed talks for Agile 2011. They will discuss applying TDD at new scales: in the micro, with assertions driving the composition of tests, and in the macro, with confirmational aspects of features driving the communication of vision and intent Mark's Talk: Most tests follow an arrange/act/assert pattern that dates back to the earliest days of xUnit. A bowling test might set up a new frame, roll a ball, and expect that if no pins are left standing, the score will be a strike. But this test also passes if there were never any pins set up in the first place. Difference-Asserting Fluent Tests use a DSL to close this and several other loopholes in NUnit and MSTest assertions, while letting you keep those tools in place. You've heard of syntactic sugar? This is syntactic caulk. And more. Mark Knell is a developer and Agile coach working in Portland. He has a master's degree from Harvard University Extension. Marty's talk: We all hope that our software will satisfy the goals and desires of our users and customers. Yet most development starts by focusing on features as a mechanism to achieve an outcome, rather than creating something demonstrable that will confirm that the vision and intent has been achieved. What if these confirmational and functional aspects were really two sides of the same feature that could be exploited to develop features in a test-driven manner? Feature TDD is a technique that does just that: create confirmational aspects that clearly establish desired outcomes and then use those to test-drive the functional mechanism that is the focus of traditional software development. Marty Nelson is the Head of Architecture at Accelrys, Inc., an ISV offering Enterprise Lab Management solutions that serve a rapidly changing pharmaceutical and scientific R&D industry. Marty has been practicing agile development since 2003 and has taken a keen interested in the last couple of years in the architectural and organizational application of agile values and principals.

create Calagator::Event 1250459856 Mobile Portland - Mobile Subscriptions: Controversy and Opportunity Roll back

description nil → <i>RSVP at http://www.mobileportland.com/events/mobile-subscriptions-controversy-or-opportunity</i> Apple's newly announced policies for subscriptions in iOS apps have the tech and publishing industry buzzing. Ever since Rupert Murdoch announced that his new initiative, The Daily, would use the new subscription service, people have wondered how the service would work. Like many App Store announcements, the unveiling of the new policies seem to create more questions than they answer. This month at Mobile Portland, we are pleased to have a distinguished panel of experts who will take a look at controversy, risks and opportunities associated with mobile subscriptions. They will cover questions like: * Can publishers adjust their business models can survive Apple taking such a large percentage (30%) of their subscription fees and the fact that they will not have the demographic information about subscribers that they use to sell ads? * Why do publishers want the subscriber information? How much of their revenue comes from selling subscriber data to direct mail companies? Are the policies important to protect consumer privacy? * Will popular applications like Netflix, Kindle and Last.fm survive under these new rules? * Will these new policies apply to software as a service as well? What about products like Dropbox and Basecamp? * Do these changes make it more difficult for companies to innovate and disrupt existing industries? Even with all of the controversy, many people see opportunities for new business models that were not possible before. The panel will explore what businesses may benefit the most from Apple's new subscription services as well as dive into some of the technical details on how they can be implemented. Apple isn't the only game in town. Google has responded with it's One Pass service for Android that will allow publishers to keep 90 percent of revenue and access to more subscriber data. Will Android and other platforms put pressure on Apple to change it's policy? Please join us for this free timely and informative discussion <b>Our Panelists</b> <b>Sasha Mace</b> Sasha Mace is the Engineering Manager at Urban Airship. He has been working on Urban Airship's implementation of subscriptions for iOS and Android. Few people are in a better position to talk about the technical differences between the subscription services that each platform provides. <b>Jon Maroney</b> Jon Maroney is Senior VP Mobile Publishing for Handmark. Handmark specializes in delivering mobile application solutions for brands, publishers and media companies. Because of their extensive work with publishers, Jon has unique insight into how publishers are looking at the new subscription models. <b>Kiyo Kubo</b> Kiyo Kubo is the CEO of Spotlight Mobile. Spotlight Mobile has built many popular apps including apps for publishers like Vogue and GQ as well as Barnes and Noble. Kiyo will be able to talk about what his publishing customers are concerned about and how it may impact book publishers. <b>Elia Freedman, Moderator</b> Elia Freedman has spent over 14 years in the mobile industry as CEO of Infinity Softworks. In that time, Infinity Softworks has distributed more than 15 million software products and brokered major partnerships with mobile and industry heavyweights including Palm, Sony, Garmin, Viewsonic and others. Infinity Softworks iOS apps have been used more than a million times, has been an Apple staff pick and a Best of 2010 app. The industry analysis on his blog is a must read.

description An Open Source company landing $5million in venture funding from one of the nation's leading venture capital firms? That's a story in itself. But when you realize it's a Portland firm - Puppet Labs, and that the investment was lead by Kleiner Perkins Caulfield, you will want to hear the story straight from the horse's mouth - CEO Luke Kanies of Puppet Labs, the makers of a leading open source data center automation and configuration management framework. Joining him to talk about the opportunities and challenges of an open source start-up will be Stuart Cohen, CEO of CSI (Collaborative Software Initiative), a company that introduces a process for companies to collaboratively build software applications. Open Source has typically been associated with altruism - software that is given away free and is open to modification by users. The concept became a household word when Portlander Linus Torvalds developed the Linux operating system. Now the list of Open Source and Free Software today includes cutting edge solutions to large scale problems in multiple domains. From languages to runtimes, cloud infrastructure to databases, the best solutions are open-sourced. Leading companies are building on top of open-source components, while giving back to the community. But open source is not just about being cost-effective,it is becoming the key to innovation.
