Reach New Heights of Nerdiness with New Relic

Come for the Cocktails. Stay for the Views.

Join us at our RailsConf After Party on April 30th from 7:30pm - 10:30pm at New Relic's Intergalactic Engineering HQ. Last year's party was a huge blast and this year's event promises to be even bigger (and quieter too!)

Come share food, drinks and great conversation with your fellow Rubyists. Then once you're nice and satiated, make sure to deploy your Ruby trivia mastery for some sweet New Relic prizes.

Time is of the essence. So register now! Don't miss out on the best views in Portland at RailsConf's most sought-after after party. Oh, and make sure to bring those registrations with you. (We'll be scanning them at the door -- registration at Railsconf IS required.)

Coming directly from the conference? Get your free MAX pass from the RailsConf registration desk. Then take the Blue Line from the Convention Center MAX station to the Skidmore Fountain station.

See you soon!

Java at Scale: What Works and What Doesn't Work Nearly So Well

Java gets used everywhere and for everything, a reality that can be explained by its efficiency, its portability, the productivity it offers developers, and the platform it provides for application frameworks and non-Java languages. But all is not perfect; developers struggle against Java's greatest strength: its memory management.

We'll talk about where Java needs help, the challenges it presents developers who need to provide reliable performance, the reasons those challenges exist, and how developers work around them. And we'll take a little time to talk about Azul Systems, its history of tackling Java scale issues and how it addresses the mismatch between Java and big data.

Talks to be announced soon. See https://github.com/PDXNode/pdxnode for up-to-date discussion on topics and to submit talk proposals. Lightning talks and longer formats are welcome.

Newbies welcome!

We'll be hanging out watching the Mountain West Ruby Conf on some big monitors in our office.

Come join us on the 28th floor of Big Pink for beer (and other beverages), light snacks, and Ruby/DevOps talks in a hacker friendly environment.

Day 1 (Wednesday) is a DevOps track.

Day 2 (Thurs, Fri) is a Ruby track with some notable speakers like Matz and Ward Cunningham.

How it works:

Come have a beer and (if you want to) play some ping-pong:

Do you work for a tech company in any way, shape, or form (developer, marketing, design, admin, tech student, etc.)? Do you want to be more involved in the Portland tech community? Come by and play some Ping-Pong! Or, just come by for some good conversation and a beer. Headbands, wristbands, and other such attire are encouraged.

Please RSVP so we can get a head count. How it works:

Interested in helping make BarCamp 7 happen? Join us for an open planning meeting.

Can't wait until the meeting? Let us know you're interested by completing our Volunteer Interest Form: http://lnk.nu/docs.google.com/24wi

What is BarCamp?

BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. You never quite know what to expect at BarCamp. When you arrive on Friday, there will be an agenda framework (times / rooms), but the content for the sessions will be decided by the participants.

Don't Let Your Bytecode Just Sit There

Java bytecode just works. It works so well that the JVM has over 250 languages that compile to bytecode. It works so well that we can usually ignore it.

But given Java bytecode's success and ubiquity, shouldn't we crack the hood and see how it works? Once you do, you may discover that bytecode manipulation is not only fun, it can be used to solve interesting problems.

In this session, we will take a look at how bytecode is represented and how to use the ASM library to view and manipulate it. We'll use the Java Instrumentation API to modify classes as they're loaded and change their behavior.

New Relic will be hosting Lunch 2.0 at their office in downtown Portland on Wednesday, August 18, 2010.

Are you vegan or vegetarian? Please leave a comment so we can plan food accordingly. Thanks.

Wondering what Lunch 2.0 is?

Lunch 2.0 is a phenomenon that began in Silicon Valley. You can read about their current events and the history behind Lunch 2.0 at lunch20.com.

We imported the concept to Portland in 2007, and you can follow all things Portland Lunch 2.0 at the Silicon Florist.
