"\;Ruby Persistence with CouchDB"\;\, Jesse Hallett \ ;\n \;\nThere are several libraries out there that provide high level interfaces between Ruby and CouchDB. I will give an overview of some o f them\, discuss the pros and cons of each\, and show how these librarie s make working with CouchDB easier. Along the way I will talk about the particular types of problems that CouchDB is good at solving. \;\n&# 13\;\nJesse Hallett has been designing web applications with Ruby for ne arly three years now. He has worked on administrative / record-keeping applications\, CMS and Ecommerce platforms\, and various other pieces of software. He spends as much time as possible with his fellow geeks in organizations like the Portland Ruby Brigade and the Portland JavaScript Admirers. Jesse has developed a strong interest in the evolving state- of-the-art of client-side JavaScript technology and next generation data bases. Jesse is currently developing JavaScript technology at Jive Softw are. \;\n \;\n \;\n2. "\;Testing iPhone apps with Ruby and Cucumber"\;\, Ian Dees \;\n \;\nThis talk begins with a survey of the landscape of iPhone UI testing. In particular\, we’ll discuss th e groundbreaking work done by Matt Gallagher in stimulating and spiderin g the iPhone UI with an XPath test script. That will be a natural jumpin g-off point to explain why a full-fledged “GUI driver” for iPhone apps h as been long in coming. We’ll look at different ways to prod at applicat ion code\, and discuss the tradeoffs. Finally\, I’ll introduce a simple library of Ruby glue code to connect Cucumber test scripts to the iPhone . The technique will be very basic\, but just powerful enough to test a simple iPhone app. \;\nPizza\, learning and a great time to network w ith the fabulous PHP Community! *** Does your site have a good search me chanism? Does it offer adequate quality for results? Is it a sustainable solution for the foreseeable scale required by your site? This week Chr is Irvine will share experiences from a recent project\, where he conver ted a site's traditional search method over to a search service\, specif ically AWS CloudSearch. Key topics will be: * What can go wrong with typ ical RDBMS based search solutions?* What is a search service? What does AWS CloudSearch offer specifically?* Live demo: Setup a sample search do main and explore available features* A look at the AWS PHP SDK* Case stu dy: Walk through implementation details for a given site \;\n \;\n * How much improvement did we measure? What didn't work?* Lessons learne d\, the good and bad of The Cloud.

While most developers have internalized \ ;\nthe rules of thumb for designing schemas for RDBMSs\, these rules don 't \;\nalways apply to MongoDB. The simple fact that documents can re present \;\nrich\, schema-free data structures means that we have a l ot of viable \;\nalternatives to the standard\, normalized\, relation al model. Not only \;\nthat\, MongoDB has several unique features\, s uch as atomic updates and \;\nindexed array keys\, that greatly influ ence the kinds of schemas that \;\nmake sense. Understandably\, this begets good questions: \;\n \;\n* Are foreign keys permissible\, o r is it better to represent one-to- \;\nmany relations withing a sing le document? \;\n* Are join tables necessary\, or is there another te chnique for building \;\nout many-to-many relationships? \;\n* Wha t level of denormalization is appropriate? \;\n* How do my data model ing decisions affect the efficiency of updates \;\nand queries? \; \n \;\nIn this session\, we'll answer these questions and more\, prov ide a \;\nnumber of data modeling rules of thumb\, and discuss the tr adeoffs of \;\nvarious data modeling strategies. \;\n \;\nABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade is a user group for Ruby programme rs in the Portland Oregon area.

But what happens when you can’t? If your code plugs into or extends another gem\, comfortable isolation might be out of the question. Stubbing and carefu l design can carry you a ways\, but eventually you need to actually test your code against those gems you’re building on. Luckily\, there are wa ys to reduce this pain. We’ll dig deep on creating a simple environment to check your work against multiple dependencies. We’ll see patterns tha t help avoid pulling your hair out when those dependencies change. We’ll even search around the raw edges\, examining how to verify what your co de does when it lands in an environment you haven’t tested. There’s a mu ltitude of gems out there to build on. Let’s see how we can test with th em! \;\n### Emily Bookstein: So You Want Diversity in Tech? (Or\, How to create lasting social change with tech money). \;\nThe conversati on around diversity in tech is gaining momentum -- but we need to deepen our understanding of the problem if we really want to address the issue . Let's break down tech's gender and racial diversity problem using &quo t\;5 Whys\,"\; a form of Root Cause Analysis. I'll also propose an a ctionable and concrete way that we as tech workers can help address the root causes of tech's lack of diversity. \;\n \;\n### Lightning Ta lks ⚡️ \;\nThere will be a whiteboard to sign up on arrival (first co me first serve). \;\n \;\n# \;\n \;\nAfter presentations we 'll have more socializing time. \;\n \;\n# Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer\, pizza &\; snacks this month! \;\n& #13\;\n# \;\n \;\nARRIVING BY BIKE?

A biological approach to architecture \;\nWh en building resilient\, fault-tolerant\, scalable systems\, we focus qui te a bit on the particular technologies involved. Can it scale horizonta lly? Is Samza better than Storm? Is this library thread-safe? It turns o ut that\, even though those questions matter to the stability of the sys tem\, they don’t matter as much as the people building the system. Human s choose the stack\, write the code\, and write the bugs\, too. They cre ate the weird edge cases that cause the system to fall over at the worst time. \;\n \;\nAt New Relic we’ve taken an unusual approach to bu ilding software: we draw heavily from biological metaphors like mutation and natural selection\, and focus on a human-centric approach to define our architecture. Rather than trust a few armchair architects to make t he decisions\, we put the power in the hands of the teams wrestling with the code. We have many strategies to ensure cohesiveness across the arc hitecture and scalability for the business\, the engineering organizatio n\, and the software\, but it takes a little leap of faith and a lot of trust to move to a process like ours. \;\n \;\nI’ll share how our process works\, and how we manage the growth without going off the rails \, while increasing system stability \;\n### Jason Clark - Peeking in to Ruby: Tracing Running Code \;\nYour Ruby app is in production\, bu t something isn’t quite right. It worked locally\, it passed CI… why’s t he running app acting weird? \;\n \;\nIf this sounds familiar\, yo u’re in luck. Multiple tools exist for grappling with a running Ruby app . This talk will introduce a variety of tools and techniques for peeking into what your Ruby app is doing. From Ruby-level method tracing using rbtrace\, all the way down to watching kernel syscalls with strace\, you can see what your app is doing\, and I’ll show you how. \;\n \;\n Don’t let your production system go unwatched! \;\n### Lightning Talk s ⚡️ \;\nThere will be a whiteboard to sign up on arrival (first come first serve). \;\n \;\n# \;\n \;\nAfter presentations we'l l have more socializing time. \;\n \;\n# Thanks to New Relic for p roviding the venue and beer\, pizza &\; snacks this month! \;\n 3\;\n# \;\n \;\nARRIVING BY BIKE?

Does one create a new folder within the app directory and introdu ce a new concept to the app? The vendor directory?! Should it go in a ge m? When the conventions of Rails do not cover a concept or approach\, it is difficult to know where to put classes and modules. \;\n \;\nO ver the years\, I have been putting more code in the lib directory. It a llows for more object oriented code composition\, faster tests\, and a c lear path for extraction into gems. Working in a directory with nothing but a "\;tasks"\; directory can be a bit daunting at first\, but soon enough it will start to feel like home. \;\n \;\nIn this tal k\, I want to show the benefits of putting code in the lib directory\, w hen to put code in lib\, how to test code in lib\, how to configure a Ra ils application to use the lib directory\, and common pitfalls to watch out for. There will be plenty of examples\, open source code to referenc e\, and hopefully other folks sharing their experiences with the lib dir ectory. \;\n# \;\n \;\n### Designing by Contract: Using Types to Write Safer Code by Thomas Reynolds \;\n \;\nContracts.ruby is a library which allows Ruby code to be type-checked at runtime. By simpl y providing a type for input parameters and output values\, you can dras tically reduce common\, and hard to track\, Ruby bugs. We will discuss t ypes in a simple\, pragmatic and non-academic way as well as looking at code samples from Middleman v4 which is entirely covered by contracts.&# 13\;\n \;\nAfter presentations we'll have more socializing time. \ ;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n# Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer\, pizza &\; snacks this month! \;\n \;\n# \;\n 3\;\nARRIVING BY BIKE?

This talk will focus around using a Cucum ber/Ruby/Calabash to formulate a single GIT repo for testing both iOS an d Android apps with the same test cases. \;\n \;\n## Embracing --a pi by Mitch Lloyd \;\n \;\nIt's hard to beat the productivity of R ails in the hands of an experienced developer. But what happens when use r expectations drag your server-rendered application into the tortured h ellscape of client-side JavaScript? \;\n \;\nJavaScript creeps in to your once beautiful code base: a typeahead search field\, a client-si de validation\, an AJAX-powered star rating widget. This pathogen has no unit tests and causes the number of bugs and Selenium tests to grow. 3\;\n \;\nIn this talk I'll explore why companies that resist client- side rendering still ship 350KB of gzipped JavaScript to their users. Wi th examples I'll argue that there is a better way: separating your API f rom your client code. This approach that I once reserved for "\;high ly interactive"\; applications\, I now consider "\;a matter of c ourse"\;. For the majority of applications it leads to faster develo pment\, simpler architecture\, and more flexible approaches for building and deploying UI. \;\nAfter presentations we'll have more socializin g time. \;\n \;\n# Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer\, pizza &\; snacks this month! \;\n \;\n# \;\n \;\ nARRIVING BY BIKE?

Randy Shoup\, a 25-year tech veteran in Silicon Valley\, wi ll share his insights into whether and when an organization should consi der migrating to microservices and how to do that successfully\, referen cing examples from Google\, eBay\, Stitch Fix\, as well as many smaller organizations he has worked with. \;\n \;\n**The Talk** \;\n 3\;\nOne of the most powerful trends in software today is building large systems out of composable microservices. Many large-scale web companies have migrated over time to this architecture – and for good reason. But \, as with any powerful technique\, microservices come with their own br and of tradeoffs\, and it is important to be aware of them before decidi ng whether they are appropriate in any particular case. They are not for every scale of problem\, for every stage of company\, or for every team . \;\n \;\nThis session takes a pragmatic approach to microservice s\, and compares them to the alternatives at different stages of company evolution. Using examples from Google\, eBay\, and Stitch Fix\, as well as from smaller organizations\, it makes practical suggestions about wh ether\, when\, and how an organization should consider adopting a micros ervices architecture. Assuming microservices are the appropriate choice\ , it outlines an experience-based\, incremental approach to making a suc cessful re-architecture to microservices. \;\n \;\n--- \;\n \;\n### Dana Scheider \;\n \;\nDana Scheider will speak about exe cutive dysfunction\, a set of cognitive/psychological conditions that af fect the brain's planning and organization functions. These conditions a ffect a lot of neurodivergent folks and a lot of people who have them do n't even know what they are. The talk discusses what executive dysfuncti on is and how to deal with these conditions as an affected individual or someone who has to work with one. \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: meetup:event =243295845\, meetup:group=Portland-Ruby-Brigade\, open source\, ruby\, s oftware development\, web development\, portland oregon\, ruby on rails\ , mobile development\, pdx\, pdxruby\n\nImported from: http://calagator. org/events/1250472749 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Ruby-Brigade/events/243295845/ SUMMARY:Portland Ruby Brigade - Monthly meeting LOCATION:New Relic: 111 SW 5th Avenue\, Suite 2900\, Portland OR 97204 us SEQUENCE:4 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20171224T184050Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180102T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180102T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20171224T184050Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20171224T184050Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250473024 DESCRIPTION:We'll have pizza &\; beer starting at 6pm\, so stop by ear ly if you want to have dinner and socialize before the meeting.

We tend to not want to think hard about how things could go wr ong. However\, from traditional apps to APIs or ArgumentErrors to NameEr rors\, handling exceptions gracefully is crucial to healthy applications . Let’s take a closer look at the Ruby Exception library and some strate gies for catching and handling errors. We will look at what happens when exceptions are handled too well or not well enough. We will also take a closer look at the types of exceptions you can expect and where you can expect them. Lastly we’ll explore some examples for exception handling and testing in common rails application contexts.\n\nTags: ruby\, pdxrub y\, brigade\, rails\, pdxsw\, pdxstartupweek\, Portland Startup Week\n\n Imported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250475235 URL:http://pdxruby.org SUMMARY:Ruby Tuesday - PDX Ruby Brigade Monthly Meeting LOCATION:New Relic: 111 SW 5th Avenue\, Suite 2700\, Portland Oregon 9720 4 United States SEQUENCE:6 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190501T030629Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190507T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190507T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190501T030629Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190501T030629Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250475537 DESCRIPTION:Come out to the CENTRL Office on the Eastside for Ruby Tuesda y. \;\nWe'll have pizza starting at 6pm\, so stop by early if you wan t to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. \;\n*We are at a new venue this month because of construction at New Relic. \;\n* Drinks are BYOB this month \;\n \;\nPRESENTATIONS 7pm-9pm \;\n& #13\;\n- Intro to Scorpio - \;\nScorpio is a ruby library that repres ents RESTful resources\, built around OpenAPI. ~ Presentation by Ethan&# 13\;\n \;\n- RailsConf Rewind - \;\nIf anyone went to RailsConf 20 19\, please share what you learned or point out new resources for the gr oup. \;\n \;\nAfter presentations we'll have more socializing time .\n\nTags: ruby\, pdxruby\, brigade\, rails\, pdxsw\, pdxstartupweek\, P ortland Startup Week\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504 75537 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Ruby-Brigade/events/swvfhpyzhbkb/ SUMMARY:Ruby Tuesday - PDX Ruby Brigade Monthly Meeting LOCATION:CENTRL east: 329 Northeast Couch Street\, Portland OR 97232 us SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190531T000020Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190604T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190604T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190531T000020Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190531T000020Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250475692 DESCRIPTION:Come out and socialize with your fellow Rubyists! \;\nPiz za &\; beer starting at 6pm \;\n \;\nPRESENTATIONS - 7pm-8:30pm \;\n \;\nFluent Refactoring - \;\nSam Livingston-Gray will gi ve a presentation about refactoring a gnarly Rails controller method.
