Making Money with Mobile
Roll back
| description |
This panel will focus on making money from mobile apps. Here are the people I am hunting down to be on the panel:
• A designer who launched his first mobile app last month. He currently has over 3000 downloads and is making $5 per day from ads. Not bad for a first attempt.
• A developer who quit his job a couple years ago and launched several mobile apps. He is now living off his "App Family" and has some interesting mobile money making lessons to share.
• A Founder of an mobile agency that uses PR and ads to help companies make money off their apps
|

This panel will focus on making money from mobile apps. Two great speakers:
Clint Bowers: A designer, strategist and Founder of Stripe Marketing. Clint launched his first mobile app last month. He did it as an experiment. He gave himself one week from start to finish to get his first app published. This app now has over 200,000 downloads and Clint is making $20 a day off his app. Not bad for a first attempt. Clint wants to share his first-timer insights.
Patrick Thompson: The Founder at Inkstone Mobile and Co-founder at Phase4 Mobile. Patrick is a developer and marketer who 5 years ago started developing mobile apps full-time and has since had over 7 million app downloads. He has 13 apps on the app store including eBook Search, Audiobooks HQ, MegaReader, and QuickReader. Recently he co-founded Phase4 Mobile that will soon be launching a series of sleep-related apps. He has been living off his "App Family" for years and has some interesting mobile money making lessons to share. |

Join us for an evening of Python!
Come to learn and/or share your existing knowledge with others.
This week we will do introductions and then pair up mentors and learners and/or work on projects.
Set aside one night a week to become a better developer, pick up new skills, and get help with your projects and learning. We'll have mentors on hand and a community of other learners to meet and work with.
Our event is beginner friendly, we can help get you started with programing, support your online learning, or just talk about where you are at and what comes next.
Bring your laptop, and something you want to learn, try, or build.

Mobile Portland — PayRange: Easy Mobile Payments for Machines
Roll back
| description |
If you have ever tried to pay a Portland parking meter with a card, you'll appreciate this talk!
Waiting while the meter validates your card, and then contacts the bank all the while you are getting soaked in the rain and running late to a meeting – sound familiar? Almost everyone who has parked downtown has experienced this scenario.
In this month's Mobile Portland talk, Paresh Patel and Chau Doan of PayRange talk about how they are changing the way we pay any machine – meters, vending, laundry, amusement, transit ticketing, and more.
They have developed a low-cost device that can be retrofitted into virtually any machine enabling it to accept mobile payments via Bluetooth. While PayRange's system is designed to be extremely simple for the users, they abstract away the complexity behind the scenes.
Come hear them talk about the problems, challenges, and obstacles they face to make this all happen seamlessly and universally. It's sure to be an engaging talk involving the latest in mobile, payments, and Bluetooth low energy.
You won't want to miss this one, especially since they're working to keep you drier and punctual!
About Our Speakers
Paresh Patel, Phd., Founder and CEO, PayRange
Paresh Patel is an award-winning innovator who has designed and developed products that have won an unprecedented five vending industry gold innovation awards, a Connected World award, an American Beverage Association award for Best Technology Innovation, and the Oregon Development Stage Startup of the Year to name a few.
Paresh has been innovating in the machine-to-machine space since he bought his first vending machine at the age of 17. Not only was he able to put himself through school with this endeavor, he was able to turn that one machine into one of the largest vending companies in the Pacific Northwest. Paresh then moved onto developing technology to further the capabilities of vending machines when he founded VendScreen. VendScreen allows machines to accept card payments, provides consumers with nutritional information, and collects inventory data for operators.
His latest startup, PayRange, takes it a step further by fusing next generation mobile technology and the Internet of Things.
Chau Doan, Principal Architect, PayRange
Unlike Paresh, Chau Doan's claim to fame is that he doesn't have one. A grizzled veteran of 18 product efforts (some of which actually shipped), he has been the lead engineer and architect for a dozen of them. The litany of projects include fault-tolerant serial protocols, collaborative eBooks, 3D graphics, test and measurement, digital signal processing, CNC machines, fluid dispensers of the party variety, and of course, person-to-machine mobile payments. While this may sound like a recipe for heartburn at an engineer's buffet, his apparent hollow leg syndrome keeps garnering him bigger and more ambitious projects. Despite the extensiveness of his craft, when he does his best work, you'll never know he was there. |

Introduction to Elixir from a Ruby, Python and Javascript perspective
Roll back

We are the Portland Erlang and Elixir meetup.
Matthew Lyon will give an “Intro to Elixir” presentation from and for the perspective of people coming from scripting languages such as Ruby, Python, and Javascript.
Elixir is a functional, meta-programming aware language built on top of the Erlang VM. It is a dynamic language with flexible syntax and macro support that leverages Erlang's abilities to build concurrent, distributed and fault-tolerant applications with hot code upgrades.
José Valim is the creator of the Elixir programming language. His goals were to enable higher extensibility and productivity in the Erlang VM while keeping compatibility with Erlang's tools and ecosystem.
We look forward to seeing you!
- Steve Peters |
