AppFog HQ

This workshop is a somewhat dense guided run through the first three chapters of Getting Started with Django, the video web series from Kenneth Love (and funded by the wonderful Python community last year on Kickstarter!). We'll cover creating a project with an eye to maintainability and reusability (are those even words?!), testing that project, and even deploying it to Heroku.

Before the event: please do the Django tutorial in your own time to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts. If you would like help and/or would rather do this in a social setting, come to the Saturday Hack Day July 6th!

More details forthcoming!

NOTES:

• Please RSVP via Meetup (see website link).
• This is a women-only event.

Join us for champagne, beer, wine, cocktails, delicious hors d'oeuvres, great music and a chance to celebrate AppFog - where it's been and its brilliant future as a part of CenturyLink!

We'll have one of Portland's most talented bartenders, Pete Maben, serving up a custom menu of summer-time cocktails. Come on down and invite your friends.

We're only going to be acquired once!

The monthly meeting of Portland's first JavaScript and ECMAscript users' group. We host presentations and discussions on everything JavaScript-related - including JavaScript frameworks, node.js, CoffeeScript, and whatever else comes up.

We have three presentations lined up for this meeting:

• Aaron Longwell will show us what he has accomplished with AngularJS
• Jay Contonio will demo DelRay, a new information management product from Seabourne built on to of NodeJS. DelRay, makes it easy to pull information from different sources, deal with data quality issues, and then send the data to different applications (mobile, web, business intelligence, analytics, etc)
• Mark Piller will talk about developing JavaScript applications with no server-side coding using a Backend-as-a-Service platform using Backendless as an example.

Mark's well be a remote presentation. It's an experiment to see how well the format works.

Pizza will be provided by Seabourne.

Meteor (http://meteor.com) is an open-source platform for building top-quality web apps in a fraction of the time, whether you're an expert developer or just getting started.

Let's get together and discuss the platform and show some of the apps we've built with it. You've built some apps with it, right? :)

Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive learn anything like this before. So good to search out anyone with some original ideas on this subject. realy thank you for starting this up. this web site is one thing that is needed on the internet, someone with a bit originality. useful job for bringing one thing new to the internet! http://risch.technoized.com/forums/member.php?action=profile&uid=21624

Jeremiah Peschka @peschkaj will be giving a talk on the open source .NET Riak Library CorrugatedIron (http://corrugatediron.org/).

Presentation: Riak doesn't have to be limited to the world of open source startups. CorrugatedIron is a full feature .NET Riak client. In this presentation, Jeremiah Peschka will demonstrate using CorrugatedIron and Riak to replace a traditional database in existing applications. We'll cover real world use cases, examine potential problems working with Riak, dive into workarounds and solutions, and even talk about places where Riak isn't a good fit for solving problems.

So get on the RSVP list (via meetup http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Riak/) now to ensure we plan for appropriate seating, food, drinks & prospective hacking.

Oh, and there will be free pizza and beer as always!

Unfortunately, I have had to cancel this event. December turns out to be a very difficult month to book speakers and I wasn't able to put together a sufficiently compelling slate of speakers.

I'm going to try really hard to re-schedule the event for early 2013, and will keep everyone posted.

Hi, and welcome to the Portland Riak Group.

There are plenty of Riak Users in the PDX area, so it's time we had an official meetup. The team at AppFog was gracious enough to loan their space for the inaugural meeting, and a few members of the Basho team will be on hand to deliver pizza, beer, and stickers.

Here are the talks we have lined up:

7:15

Next Generation Searching with Yokozuna

Eric Redmond; Engineer, Basho Technologies

Riak Search was created to expand Riak's query options. It's worked well enough the past couple years, but it's time to move forward. Yokozuna is the next generation of Riak search, built on the solid Distributed Solr platform. We'll see a preview of what Yokozuna does, what it's going to do, and how that's a marked improvement from the existing Riak Search.

8:00

Riak & Node.js: The Hunt for Cheap, Easy Nines

Nathan Aschbacher; Developer, Coradine

Portland-based Coradine makes an innovative aviation application that helps pilots the world over. Riak powers a lot of this application. Nathan Äschbacher, developer at Coradine, will take you through:

• A quick history of our experience with Riak
• How it came to be we opted to use it at Coradine
• Some of the known hurdles we were going to have to overcome (like cloud deployment)
• Some of the development issues we've encountered
• Why Node.js was a good fit for us and interfacing with Riak
• Abandoning Redis in favor of Riak Memory-store for caching and 2i
