Most of us have a few tech manuals lying about that we never use, but that others would find useful. Many of us need a new tech book/s but have not yet picked one up, for one reason or another. Here’s your chance to find unwanted books a good home, or to find a useful manual or three for yourself. Here’s what happens: Those with unwanted books will bring them to the group and leave them in a common area. Then it’s just a matter of everyone helping themselves. You don’t have to bring any manuals to leave with manuals, and vice versa. Books left over at the end will be taken to Powell’s Technical Books for their freebie bin, or possibly to Free Geek.</li> <li>Topics<br> - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior_Driven_Development">Behavior Driven Development</a> with <a href="http://everzet.com/Behat/">Bhat</a></li> </ul>

update Calagator::Event 1250459476 PDXRIA: Putting The Active Into Interactive Roll back

description Interactive is not a goal - it is a way of thinking and approaching problems. Though we have orders of magnitude more power at our fingertips, real interactivity is still illusive - but it need not be. Interactive applications have been a multi-decade goal. Flex is yet another in a long history of frameworks for delivering interactive applications, but technology alone does not an interactive application make. You need to understand the problems, existing solutions and techniques for solving the problem, and the user of the application. Fast is never enough, because the complexity will grow until the app is not fast enough and pain limits what the user can do, underscoring the perception of your app - what the pain prevents me from doing vs. what the lack of pain enables me to do. Scaling is the name of the game - let's talk about bigger problems than you can imagine. Speakers Roy Hall has been writing interactive graphic applications for more than 30 years. Trained in civil engineering and architecture, he started writing 3D interactive apps for stadium roof design on E&S PSII's in the late 70's. He later wrote the rendering pipeline for Robert Abel and Associates (Tron - sucking Flynn into the computer and throwing him back out); was the system architect for Wavefront Technologies (Science and Technology Academy Award for that) - and which through many morphs is now the Maya animation software; was an Assistant Professor at Cornell's Program of Computer Graphics; wrote the 'Joey 3D toolkit' extensions for Microsoft MFC in the 90's; worked on the interaction model for Sketchup; and is now the CTO for Thetus Corporation. → Interactive is not a goal - it is a way of thinking and approaching problems.

And what are the risks they are willing to take, versus those they aren't, in the aftermath of the recession and ten years of negative industry returns? Gerry will take his historic "Four risks of venture capital startups" and bring it into focus for the coming years… Speaker: Gerry Langeler, OVP Partners Gerry Langeler joined OVP Venture Partners in 1992 and focuses on investments in the digital energy, software, imaging and digital biology sectors.

description nil → Every Tuesday we show 3 TED Talks on our wall sized screen organized around a common theme. This weeks theme: The Mind <b>Gero Miesenboeck reengineers a brain</b> In the quest to map the brain, many scientists have attempted the incredibly daunting task of recording the activity of each neuron. Gero Miesenboeck works backward -- manipulating specific neurons to figure out exactly what they do, through a series of stunning experiments that reengineer the way fruit flies perceive light. <b>Dan Gilbert asks, Why are we happy?</b> Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert says our beliefs about what will make us happy are often wrong -- a premise he supports with intriguing research, and explains in his accessible and unexpectedly engaging talk. <b>VS Ramachandran on your mind</b> Vilayanur Ramachandran tells us what brain damage can reveal about the connection between celebral tissue and the mind, using three startling delusions as examples.

We cannot afford to let innovative ideas fall by the wayside because small business owners can't access the money they need to perform research and develop and commercialize new products. At more than $2.3 billion per year, the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) programs comprise the largest source of federal support for technological innovation in the private sector. Awardees can receive critical support for projects from early stage R&D through commercialization. Please join me and other small business owners, researchers, venture capital representatives, and others at a one-day conference with key SBIR/STTR program managers to learn more about opportunities for funding your small business and to discuss upcoming changes to the SBIR/STTR program.
