update Calagator::Event 1250457855 XPDX October: Unit Test Your Database Roll back

description David Wheeler will be giving his "Unit Test Your Database" talk. It was well-received at Open Source Bridge; now he's giving it to an audience of Agile practicioners. We’re all used to unit testing our applications by now. The Extreme and Agile programming movements have done a great deal to promote unit testing, to the extent that many of us are now dependent on tests to assure that our applications work reliably. But how often do we test the database underlying our applications? Given that the database, as the repository for all of the knowledge and data for an application, just might be the single most important part of that application, the time for standardized database unit testing has come. This talk promotes the practice of writing and running unit tests that directly test the schema, storage, and functionality of application databases. Following a review of the available PostgreSQL unit testing frameworks, we’ll review examples of testing tables, views, columns, constraints, indexes, triggers, and functions. The idea is to promote complete test coverage every aspect of a database, independent of application unit tests, to ensure reliably canonical data integrity. Pizza and networking at 6:30pm, 7pm talk, beer afterwards. → David Wheeler will be giving his "Unit Test Your Database" talk.

description Rose City Software Process Improvement Network seminar in partnership with the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference (www.pnsqc.org): Effective Job Seeking — How To Cope, Prepare, and Move Forward If You Find Yourself Unemployed Presented by Michael Hoffman Networking @ 6:00 PM; Seminar 6:30-7:30 PM; This event is free and open to the public. Abstract: The unexpected happened to me on November 17, 2008… I was laid off. I was 20 years out of college, a seasoned software industry engineer, and leader, and was suddenly thrown into the pool of “Unemployed Hi-Tech Professionals” that numbered in the tens of thousands in the Portland area. A few months later, I was employed again, the results of a job search that involved techniques and technologies relevant to seeking employment given today’s hiring practices. This presentation/discussion will focus on: • Company hiring attitudes/practices • Key technologies and techniques for job searching • Considerations when working through recruiting companies • Right and wrong ways to apply • Effective approaches to getting that first interview • Making yourself stand out • Preparing ahead of time for when it happens to you Speaker Bio: Michael Hoffman is a 20-year veteran of the software industry. He has filled a variety of development and quality engineering, strategist, and leadership roles at companies such as Jeppesen Sanderson, Hewlett-Packard Company, Insight Distribution Software, Sharp, and GTE Government Systems. Mr. Hoffman’s experience spans the realms of communications systems, factory control/integration, embedded systems, PC applications, and web-base solutions. Additionally, he teaches various software engineering courses for Oregon Institute of Technology. Mr. Hoffman recently found himself involuntarily seeking employment at a time when many companies were downsizing and few were hiring. As a result, he developed strategies and techniques that proved effective in today’s job market for identifying opportunities, applying voluntarily for positions, interviewing, and following-up. Mr. Hoffman continues to mentor unemployed colleagues, sharing advice and best practices based on his experiences. Rose City SPIN: The Rose City Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) is a monthly forum for networking, mutual support, and promotion of effective software practices. We exchange practical experiences, ideas, knowledge, wisdom, and war stories about the technical, business, and human facets of software process improvement.

description How are you and your company going to come out of this recession? What has changed during the past two years? Where are things headed for your business? Companies are reinventing themselves in a variety of ways - through diversification of products and markets; by shifting more manufacturing and sourcing to Asia; by hiring or contracting for staff whose skills weren’t even mentioned in job descriptions at the turn of the century (10 years ago!) With all of this change, what’s happening to the engineering jobs in Portland, and how does the role of the Engineering Executive need to change and adapt? This dinner forum is available to CTO and Engineering Executives from member and nonmember companies.

update Calagator::Event 1250457831 Eight Steps to a Successful Social Media Marketing Plan Roll back

description Eight Steps to a Successful Social Media Marketing Plan This is a 12 Week Webinar for Business Owners who are great at what they do, but feel overwhelmed when it comes to Social Media Marketing If you're like most business owners you're frustrated by social media technology and having to fit it into your already busy schedule. Additionally having to learn how to market yourself on social media can be intimidating because it also involves learning the correct social media etiquette as well as the tools. You feel discouraged because you know social media is becoming more important for marketing a business but don't how to use the technology or you do know how to use it, but wonder why no one ever responds to your posts. Why isn't social media getting clients in your doors? The three magic reason you might be stuck! Notice if any of these fit you. 1. You feel intimidated by the technology and don't know where to start. You're getting lots of invites to social networking sites and you don't know what to do with them or what sites to be on. You've also been told you need to integrate blogs, radio, and other social media into how you promote yourself, but you feel scattered and unsure of where to start. 2. Your social media marketing plan is lame, or you don't have one. You are on some social media sites, but nothing you do seems to work and you don't have a clear goal in how to integrate social media into your marketing. It can feel like throwing a dart and hoping that you hit the bullseye, but you're spending a lot of time and money on your marketing and not getting the clients you want from it. Poor planning equals poor results. 3. Your doubt about social media's effectiveness for your business sabotages you. You've become convinced that social media doesn't work for promoting your business and you feel it's a waste of time, but you also wonder why your fellow business owners or colleagues are getting business from using social media sites. Your attitude is holding you back from capitalizing on social media. Can you relate to any of the above? I could and still do sometimes. You might have a wonderful product or be an excellent service provider, but if you don't understand social media, you could be missing out on lots of people who could use what you have to offer. The first step is to admit this so that you can fix it, learn new skills, and move on. What can you do to get unstuck with social media and move forward? 1. Get clear on what social media technology you need and learn it. Begin to make the mental shift away from an overwhelmed, over-worked self-employed person to a business owner who recognizes what resources s/he needs from social media, and then learn how to automate those resources, so your only spending as much as time as needed on social media. 2. Accept that you either don't have a marketing plan for your social media presence, or that the existing one is lame. You can easily learn the eight simple steps to setting up a social media marketing plan that works. You were able to master the skills of your profession or trade, so you can master the technology and marketing for social media. 3. Let go of being negative about social media. Social media is here to stay. Become empowered and unstoppable in your use of it. Decide to do whatever it takes to learn and integrate it into your business. A change in attitude can provide the right push toward bringing you success with social media. How does the Eight Steps to a successful Social Media Marketing Plan webinar work? We meet twelve times over four months and will go through the 8 steps to a success social media marketing plan. You'll work on setting up your social media presence and gradually develop a successful social media marketing plan. You'll be part of a powerful group of entrepreneurs who own businesses, just like you, who want to get unstuck with social media. You'll learn the technology AND the marketing together. The sessions will be a very focused combination of teaching, sharing, feedback, and support. At the end, everyone will have a completed social media marketing plan and presence to take into 2010! Begins October 30th and ends January 22nd (no class December 25th and January 1st) We meet Fridays 11:30-1 PST on the phone and website.
