<b>Note: We've moved the November meeting from its normal date to accommodate Dan's travel schedule.</b>
As developers, we bring a certain set of skills, biases and preferences to business. Â These act as a double edged sword; we make great business people when we play to our strengths; we fail when we try to be something we're not.
There are sweet-spots in the iPhone market that will sustain, on a continual basis small, developer run, 1-3 person iPhone companies.
This is a talk about identifying those market opportunities. Â Â This talk is about capitalizing on them in a way that plays to our strengths and mitigates our weaknesses. Â This talk is about the choices we make when we start our own developer run iPhone businesses. Â Topics include:
* Choosing the type of business: are your customers iPhone consumers, companies that need iPhone apps, or other iPhone developers?
* Data-informed app price and product-category strategy.
* Marketing from code.
* Contract wages and the $10,000 problem.
<b>About Dan Grigsby</b>
Dan runs <a href="http://www.mobileorchard.com/">Mobile Orchard</a>, the #1 iPhone development podcast and community site. Â As the rare programmer/business type guy, he's as happy running marketing hacks as he is hacking iPhone code. Â He's happiest giving talks that incorporate elements of both, so speaking about developer-run iPhone businesses is pretty much the rapture. Â Previously, Dan founded/ran startups, including one that was acquired by Microsoft and another that was the only-ever successful competitor to PayPal.

PSU CS Colloquium: Chaos in Computer Science
Roll back
description |

CS conference room, FAB 086-01
Abstract:
Although it is not necessarily the view taken by those who design them, modern computers are deterministic nonlinear dynamical systems, and it is both interesting and useful to treat them as such. In this talk, I will describe a nonlinear dynamics-based framework for modeling and analyzing computer systems. Using this framework, together with a custom measurement infrastructure, we have found strong indications of low-dimensional dynamics in the performance of a simple program running on a popular Intel microprocessor—including the first experimental evidence of chaotic dynamics in real computer hardware. These dynamics change completely when we run the same program on a different Intel microprocessor, or when we change that program slightly. All of this raises important issues about computer analysis and design. These engineered systems have grown so complex as to defy the analysis tools that are typically used by their designers: tools that assume linearity and stochasticity, and essentially ignore dynamics. The ideas and methods developed by the nonlinear dynamics community are a much better way to study, understand, and (ultimately) design modern computer systems.
This is joint work with Amer Diwan and Todd Mytkowicz.

“Lessons from the Trenches” is an opportunity designed specifically for entrepreneurs to learn from seasoned entrepreneurs who have been in the trenches and have lessons to share.
Attendees will briefly tour the business facility, then spend about an hour and a half with the host entrepreneur, asking questions regarding lessons learned through their entrepreneurial experience. Attendees have benefited from frank discussions about the unique challenges the entrepreneurs faced during the growth phase as well as what challenges lie ahead.
The CEO featured in the November’s "Lessons from the Trenches" is serial entrepreneur, Dave Moffenbeier. Dave is the chief operating officer of Absorbent Technologies Inc., an Oregon start-up which has developed a starch-based superabsorbent polymer called Zeba™ which increases agricultural crop yields up to 10% with better utilization of water and fertilizer.
He will share his lessons learned from 30 years of starting and running companies and he can share how he has successfully raised over a quarter of a billion dollars in Angel Funding in Oregon.
Speaker: David Moffenbeier, Chief Operating Officer – Absorbent Technologies, Inc.
David received a BA in chemistry from Wesleyan University in 1973, an MBA from Harvard in 1977 and a CPA Certificate from KPMG in 1978. In 1981, he co-founded Mentor Graphics in Oregon where he worked until 1993 in roles including CFO and Vice President of Worldwide Sales.
In 1994, David joined MedicaLogic as COO and helped grow that company to be the leading provider of electronic medical records in the U.S with a successful public offering in 1999. In 2000, he became the Chief Executive Officer and subsequently executed the sale of MedicaLogic to GE Medical in 2002.
From 2003 – 2005, David worked as EVP of Sales for Kryptiq Corporation, which provides Secure Email and Workflow Automation Solutions to the healthcare industry.
Dave is currently the Chief Operating Officer of Absorbent Technologies, Inc., an Oregon start-up which has developed a starch-based superabsorbent polymer called Zeba™ which increases agricultural crop yields up to 10% with better utilization of water and fertilizer.

This month's topic: TBD
----------
PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then Q&A, discussion, sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)
Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't *have* to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!
Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc (lately, the Market Street Pub at 10th and Market: http://mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=24 ).

This month's topic: Java Performance, the Lifecycle Approach: The Game Has Changed
Java Enterprise Performance Tuning typically is viewed as someone else's job.
QA will do it.
Operations will figure it out.
Isn't the Dev guys supposed to find these things?
But in fact it can and should be done across the lifecycle.
We will explore this new concept and other topics such as:
# GC diagnosis while under load
# Is my Framework doing what I want?
# Hello? Is this thing (caching) on?
# Who's your daddy? (How do services really interact)
----------
Speaker: Joe Hoffman
Joe Hoffman has been designing, building and debugging Enterprise Applications for over 25 yrs, the last 11yrs in Java. He currently specializes in resolving complex performance problems for large enterprise customers across the globe. He holds a Bachelors in Computer Science and a Masters in Software Engineering but still has a blinking VCR clock. When not walking his dog, he can be found usually losing another game of racquetball.
