These sites may look good o n mobile devices\, but few people will ever see them because they take t o long to load. \;\n \;\nWhile the core tenets of responsive web d esign are easy to understand\, doing it well is much more difficult. Sla pping a few media queries on your existing site isn't enough. \;\n 3\;\nThe solution is mobile first responsive web design. \;\n \;\n Mobile first and responsive web design aren't simply two great tastes th at go great together. No they represent much more than that. Mobile firs t responsive web design is the responsible way to build responsive desig n. It is the best way to build something that is both responsive from a layout AND a performance perspective. \;\n \;\nImage of Boston Glo be Responsive Design \;\n \;\nBut if mobile first is the right way to do responsive design\, then why are so few people doing it? In this session\, we'll dig into why mobile first responsive design matters and the five techniques necessary to make it work. \;\n \;\nIf your co mpany is exploring responsive design of even if you're already building responsive designs\, you won't want to miss this talk. \;\n \;\nAb out Jason Grigsby \;\n \;\nJason GrigsbyJason and his Cloud Four c o-founder Lyza Gardner wrote Head First Mobile Web which teaches web dev elopers how to take their web skills and transfer them to mobile.

Intel is one of the largest contributors to Linux. And it taking u p a similar role when it comes to Android. \;\nNot only have Intel wo rked with handset manufacturers to ship phones running on Intel metal an d more recently beginning to manufacturer ARM chips as well\, but they'v e been contributors to Android's open source software. They have a ton o f tools that developers can use. \;\n \;\nWe're pleased and lucky to have Daniel Holmlund\, an engineer working for Intel's Android develo per relations\, here in Portland to give us an overview of Android devel opment and projects to which Intel contributes. They'll talk what devel opers need to be aware of when moving an application to an Intel Android devices\, and the software tools that Intel creates to analyze and opti mize Android applications. \;\nIn addition\, Intel will be giving awa y t-shirts and you can enter a raffle to win a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. You must be present to win. \;\nEditor's note: one of the best tricks we 've learned for Android development is to use the Intel emulators becaus e they run faster on our Macs than the ARM-based emulators do. We've fou nd it worthwhile to pay attention to what Intel is up to on Android. \;\nAbout Daniel Holmlund \;\n \;\n \;\nDaniel Holmlund has bee n a software developer for more than 14 years. During that time he’s wo rked on a variety of projects including p2p caching technologies\, curre ncy transaction servers and a software workflow for publishing e-books.& #13\;\nHe joined Intel’s Developer Relations Division 3 years ago focusi ng on mobile software including HTML5 and Android.

We want to s how that node is an all-purpose\, fun tool by showing its potential with hardware. How? By bringing together those interested in node and hardwa re hacking\, and giving them an open space to hack\, collaborate\, learn \, and share their results with others. Other languages are welcome but we can't guarantee there will be help in-person. We're happy to work thr ough problem-solving together. \;\n \;\nThis will be a less formal event than our big International Nodebots day in the Fall.

As new people come to Node\, or as the needs of vet erans change\, it's important for that information to find its way back to the project. Similarly\, it's important for those who are deploying N ode in production to bring their wisdom to those just starting out. To t hat end\, Joyent is sponsoring Node.js on the Road\, a roadshow aimed at keeping the community connected with the project and production users o f Node. \;\n \;\nWe'll be bringing speakers from large and small c ompanies alike to share how they're using Node in production. To talk ab out the where's\, why's\, and how's of Node fitting and scaling to their companies' needs. Also\, they'll be discussing the ways they coordinate with the Node project and the broader community. \;\n \;\nBut thi s isn't a one way road\, we want to hear from you too. We want to know a bout your uses of Node\, where Node is being successful for you\, and wh ere your pain points are. The Node project is nothing without this feedb ack\, it's vital to make sure Node is heading in the direction its users need. \;\n \;\nIt's going to be a fun trip.

Almost everyone who has parked downtown has experienced this scena rio. \;\n \;\nIn this month's Mobile Portland talk\, Paresh Patel and Chau Doan of PayRange talk about how they are changing the way we pa y any machine – meters\, vending\, laundry\, amusement\, transit ticketi ng\, and more. \;\n \;\nThey have developed a low-cost device that can be retrofitted into virtually any machine enabling it to accept mob ile payments via Bluetooth. While PayRange's system is designed to be ex tremely simple for the users\, they abstract away the complexity behind the scenes. \;\n \;\nCome hear them talk about the problems\, chal lenges\, and obstacles they face to make this all happen seamlessly and universally. It's sure to be an engaging talk involving the latest in mo bile\, payments\, and Bluetooth low energy. \;\n \;\nYou won't wan t to miss this one\, especially since they're working to keep you drier and punctual! \;\n \;\n## About Our Speakers \;\n \;\n#### P aresh Patel\, Phd.\, Founder and CEO\, PayRange \;\n \;\nParesh Pa tel is an award-winning innovator who has designed and developed product s that have won an unprecedented five vending industry gold innovation a wards\, a Connected World award\, an American Beverage Association award for Best Technology Innovation\, and the Oregon Development Stage Start up of the Year to name a few. \;\n \;\nParesh has been innovating in the machine-to-machine space since he bought his first vending machin e at the age of 17. Not only was he able to put himself through school w ith this endeavor\, he was able to turn that one machine into one of the largest vending companies in the Pacific Northwest. Paresh then moved o nto developing technology to further the capabilities of vending machine s when he founded VendScreen. VendScreen allows machines to accept card payments\, provides consumers with nutritional information\, and collect s inventory data for operators. \;\n \;\nHis latest startup\, PayR ange\, takes it a step further by fusing next generation mobile technolo gy and the Internet of Things. \;\n \;\n#### Chau Doan\, Principal Architect\, PayRange \;\n \;\nUnlike Paresh\, Chau Doan's claim to fame is that he doesn't have one. A grizzled veteran of 18 product ef forts (some of which actually shipped)\, he has been the lead engineer a nd architect for a dozen of them. The litany of projects include fault-t olerant serial protocols\, collaborative eBooks\, 3D graphics\, test and measurement\, digital signal processing\, CNC machines\, fluid dispense rs of the party variety\, and of course\, person-to-machine mobile payme nts. While this may sound like a recipe for heartburn at an engineer's b uffet\, his apparent hollow leg syndrome keeps garnering him bigger and more ambitious projects. Despite the extensiveness of his craft\, when h e does his best work\, you'll never know he was there.\n\nTags: epdx:gro up=111\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250465909 URL:http://mobileportland.com/events/payrange SUMMARY:Mobile Portland — PayRange: Easy Mobile Payments for Machines LOCATION:Urban Airship Inc: 1417 NW Everett St\, Suite 300\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140318T152914Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140402T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140402T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140318T152914Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140519T223712Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465867 DESCRIPTION:We are meeting at Urban Airship this time while Esri gets set tled in to their NEW office building (congrats!). \;\n \;\nWe have a couple quick demos and pres-itos lined up so bring your ideas\, proje cts\, and apps to share or hack on.\n\nTags: geospatial\, gis\, Web mapp ing\, html\, javascript\, css\, python\, maps\, cartography\, esripdx\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250465867 URL:http://maptimepdx.org SUMMARY:MaptimePDX LOCATION:Urban Airship Inc: 1417 NW Everett St\, Suite 300\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:4 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140331T190818Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140403T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140403T181500 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140331T190818Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140331T190818Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465942 DESCRIPTION:Monthly presentation night! \;\n \;\nPizza and non-alco holic beverages graciously sponsored by Walmart Labs \;\n \;\nVenu e donated by Urban Airship \;\n \;\n \;\nTalks: \;\n \;\n Monthly presentation night! \;\n \;\nVenue donated by Urban Airshi p \;\n \;\n \;\nTalks: \;\n \;\nMichael Schurter will be speaking on the History of Concurrency. \;\n \;\nJerry Sievert wi ll be sharing his project\, Mongolike\, an experimental MongoDB clone b eing built on top of PLV8 and Postgres. \;\n \;\nDave Justice will be introducing our Module of the Month series. \;\n \;\nPresentat ions start at 6:30pm.

It generates event-driven impe rative code from a "\;process \;\ncalculus"\; language (dist ant cousin to the concurrency model of Erlang or Go). \;\n \;\nMy goal is to make the presentation accessible for folks who don't have a c ompilers background\, and introduce some Haskell tricks folks may not ha ve seen. With help from the audience I think we can do this. That said\, someone should tell me how short to keep the talk because I've probably spent 100 hours writing the code and could fill a good fraction of that explaining it. \;\n \;\nYou can follow my progress on GitHub:  3\;\n \;\nhttps://github.com/jameysharp/lotos \;\n \;\n \;\ nCheck out the README for notes on the device driver synthesis language that inspired me to start this project\, a high-level description of the compilation strategy I've taken\, and possible future directions for th e project. \;\n \;\n \;\nAlso if there's time\, Jim Snow will p resent on his Glome ray tracer written in Haskell: \;\n \;\n \; \nI've been working on Glome lately\, and it's probably about time I gav e another short talk about it. \;\n \;\n \;\nGlome is a ray tra cer written in Haskell. It has a few nice features\, such as a pretty g ood acceleration structure (basically\, a hierarchical tree of bounding volumes) so that rendering complex scenes goes pretty fast\, CSG support (you can subtract one volume from another or take the intersection of m ultiple volumes) and a decent set of basic primitives. \;\n \;\nSo me recent changes are more general types for textures (basically\, you c an define your own lighting model) and the ability to place arbitrary ta gs on objects so that when you trace a ray\, you get back a list of tags that you can use to identify the thing (or things) that a ray hit. Hop efully\, this will make Glome a lot more useful for general computationa l geometry tasks and for interactive applications. (Glome is still too slow to be a serious competitor to OpenGL\, but it's at least approachin g the point where rendering in realtime is almost tolerable.) \;\n 3\;\n \;\nABOUT THE GROUP: Join programmers\, researchers and enthusi asts to discuss functional programming. pdxfunc is a study/user group ex ploring the world of functional programming based in Portland\, Oregon.

Critical Path was a premier developer with the s kills and experience to launch eBay into the initial iTunes AppStore on July 10\, 2008. \;\nIt was a heady time. The deadline was tight. Th e team had to fight through issues with the iPhone SDK and integration w ith eBay servers. It was a grand success. The eBay app went on to be n umber 3 of all free apps in the first year of the App Store. Contempora ry industry-wide mobile ecommerce revenue estimates were vastly exceeded by the eBay app alone. The mobile ecommerce revolution was born. \ ;\nFast forward to today. The eBay Mobile products produced here in Por tland are responsible for over 30 percent of eBay revenue. Ladd Van To l and Dan Weston have graciously agreed to discuss their insights into t he architecture of these enterprise-class mobile apps. Their discussion will cover the evolution of the product architecture\, lessons learned over the past six years\, and how to architect state-of-the-art apps in an enterprise environment. \;\nLearn how they went from an under-the- radar consulting project to 35% of Fortune 500 company. \;\nAbout Our Speakers \;\n \;\nLadd Van Tol\, eBay Mobile \;\n \;\nLadd Van Tol is the architecture lead for eBay's native mobile applications\, continuing work started at Portland-based Critical Path Software in 200 8. \;\n \;\nHe is a mobile architect specializing in iOS\, providi ng underlying design and engineering for eBay for iPhone and iPad apps.

Justin will be presenting based off the approach described in Oleg' s paper "\;Extensible Effects -- An Alternative to Monad Transformer s"\; implemented in Haskell\, while Leif will be presenting the DSL Edwin implemented in the Idris language. \;\n \;\n"\;effects&q uot\; are usually tracked in languages like Haskell with monads\, and of ten combined with monad transformers. Both of these approaches aim for a more elegant alternative to monad transformers for this. \;\n \; \nFrom the intro to Edwin's paper: \;\n>\; Monad transformers can q uickly become unwieldy when \;\n>\; there are lots of effects to ma nage\, leading to a temptation in \;\n>\; larger programs to combin e everything into one coarse-grained \;\n>\; state and exception mo nad. \;\n \;\nAnd the intro to Oleg's paper: \;\n \;\nWe des ign and implement a library that solves the long-standing problem of com bining effects without imposing restrictions on their interactions (such as static ordering). Effects arise from interactions between a client a nd an effect handler (interpreter)\; interactions may vary throughout th e program and dynamically adapt to execution conditions. Existing code t hat relies on monad transformers may be used with our library with minor changes\, gaining efficiency over long monad stacks. In addition\, our library has greater expressiveness\, allowing for practical idioms that are inefficient\, cumbersome\, or outright impossible with monad transfor mers. \;\n \;\nOur alternative to a monad transformer stack is a s ingle monad\, for the coroutine-like communication of a client with its handler. Its type reflects possible requests\, i.e.\, possible effects of a computation. To support arbitrary effects and their combinations\, re quests are values of an extensible union type\, which allows adding and\ , notably\, subtracting summands. Extending and\, upon handling\, shrink ing of the union of possible requests is reflected in its type\, yielding a type-and-effect system for Haskell. The library is lightweight\, gene ralizing the extensible exception handling to other effects and accurate ly tracking them in types. \;\n \;\n \;\nABOUT THE GROUP: Join programmers\, researchers and enthusiasts to discuss functional programm ing. pdxfunc is a study/user group exploring the world of functional pro gramming based in Portland\, Oregon. The group welcomes programmers inte rested in all functional languages\, including Haskell\, OCaml\, Erlang\ , Scala and others\, as well as using functional techniques in non-funct ional languages. The group meets regularly and provides presentations\, demos and discussions applicable to all skill levels\, from newbies and experts.

The intent of Graffi ti is for OpenStack users to be able to declare the capabilities and ser vice level objectives they require at a higher\, more portable way than they do today. The system will then guide the selection of lower level c loud resources that match the desired capabilities. \;\n \;\nVario us OpenStack services have introduced techniques to abstract some of the low-level resource selection to one level higher (such as flavors or vo lume types). While powerful\, a challenge that we’ve experienced with Op enStack is that the way resource types and resource instances get expose d and discovered across services makes usage and remapping across deploy ments a manual and error prone process. Graffiti provides a common metho dology to describe resource capabilities in the cloud\, which we believe \, can then be leveraged by other projects such as Horizon\, Nova\, Heat \, scheduling\, reservation\, and policy enforcement to enable better cr oss service collaboration and consistency. \;\n \;\nMr. Aday has s erved as a Director within HP’s Converged Cloud team since March 2014.&# 13\;\n \;\nPrior to coming to HP\, Mr. Aday acted as the Chief Techno logy Officer for a number of startups\, where he focused on building clo ud infrastructures for retail point of sale platforms and mobile applica tions. \;\n \;\nPreviously\, Mr. Aday\, was at Microsoft for almos t 15 years in a variety of roles. While at Microsoft\, he was a Directo r within Microsoft Research focused on Collaborative University and Gove rnment research projects and Director of Intellectual Property Strategy – among other roles. Mr. Aday holds several security and cryptography f ocused patents and maintains an interest in the intersection of security \, cloud computing\, and mobile platforms. \;\n \;\n \;\nFree b irthday party registration is required\, more details at: http://www.mee tup.com/OpenStack-Northwest/events/194372982/ \;\n \;\nHope you en joy our celebration\, and swag\, sponsored by Hewlett-Packard Company\n\ nTags: OpenStack OSCON Linux Open Source HP Red Hat Cloud Computing Comp uters IT Technology Information System Storage iaas paas saas\n\nImporte d from: http://calagator.org/events/1250466682 URL:http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Northwest/events/194372982/ SUMMARY:OpenStack 4th Birthday Learn and Party LOCATION:Urban Airship Inc: 1417 NW Everett St\, Suite 300\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140707T031257Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140723T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140723T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140707T031257Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140707T031257Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250466606 DESCRIPTION:# Come join us for Pythonic talks! \;\n \;\nAll levels are welcome!

It’s time again for our monthly meeting. Whether y ou’re a newcomer to Scala or an experienced expert\, we’d love to have y ou join us. This month we have very lucky timing overlapping with OOPSLA \, which means we'll have some special guests joining us for our meeting . Two of these guests will be giving talks: Tiark Rompf and Vald Ureche. Tiark Rompf graduated EPFL in the Scala team\, where he developed the L ightweight Modular Staging framework (LMS)\, which compiles domain-speci fic programs to efficient and parallel code for GPUs\, multi-threaded CP Us and clusters. Currently Tiark is a professor at Purdue University and he just got the best paper award in the most prestigious conference in databases\, VLDB\, for a paper applying the Lightweight Modular Staging technique for databases queries. Tiark will be discussing LMS. Vlad Urec he is a PhD student in the Scala Lab at EPFL\, where he's working on opt imizing high-level patterns in the Scala programming language down to fa st JVM bytecode. His main project\, miniboxing (scala-miniboxing.org)\, is aimed at compiling generic classes down to very efficient bytecode. V lad also contributed to the Scala compiler in the areas of specializatio n\, the JVM backend and on the scaladoc tool\, where you may have seen t he diagrams and the implicit member listings he developed. Vlad's talk i s titled Miniboxing: JVM Generics without the overhead. The following ab stract provides an overview of this talk: Generics are now a must-have i n any statically typed programming language. Yet\, there is a strong ten sion between the uniform interface exposed to programmers and the low le vel implementation\, which has to deal with data of different sizes and semantics: booleans\, integers\, floating-point numbers and heap objects . Different languages have taken in very different paths to implementing generics\, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. In Java and othe r JVM languages the standard is boxing primitive values\, meaning that h eap objects are used to carry primitive values. This leads to significan t slowdowns and increased heap consumption\, especially when using gener ic collections for primitive types. Scala proposes specialization as an alternative to boxing: the compiler can duplicate and adapt user code fo r each primitive type\, thus using unboxed data. Specialization has been shown to reliably speed up code and is extensively used in established community libraries\, such as spire (non/spire) and breeze (scalanlp.org ). But statically duplicating code can result in significant jar sizes a nd long compilation times. For example\, specializing a 3-element tuple\ , which takes three type parameters\, yields 1000 almost-identical class es. In the miniboxing project we set out to reduce the static bytecode s ize while maintaining optimality: we build on the idea of tagged union\, thus offering a single variant of the code for all primitive value type s. This means the 3-element tuple can now be specialized with just 8 cla sses. But matching the performance of specialization was a long and conv oluted journey. In this presentation I will explain the basics of minibo xing and show what we had to do to match the speed of specialized code. The project's website\, scala-miniboxing.org\, contains all you need to get started: the miniboxing compiler plugin\, documentation\, usage exam ples and benchmarks.\n\nTags: meetup:event=207923342\, meetup:group=PDXS cala\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250467203 URL:http://www.meetup.com/PDXScala/events/207923342/ SUMMARY:PDXScala Monthly Meeting LOCATION:Urban Airship Inc: 1417 NW Everett St\, Suite 300\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141027T015820Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141027T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141027T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141027T015820Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150721T000351Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250467230 DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Karon leads the team that builds New Relic Mobile\, the world’s first real time management software for monitoring the perfo rmance of mobile apps in production. He is in a unique position to get a n industry-wide view on the factors that affect mobile app performance.  He has seen companies do it well\, and not so well\, and seen what it t akes to transform a balky\, slow app into a first-class champion. Join u s as he shares the tips and tricks needed to avoid frustrated users\, at trition\, and bad app store reviews. What are the root causes of perform ance problems? Jonathan will discuss the 3 most common causes of app slo wness: Network latency &\; errors\, on-device code execution with une xpected data\, and waiting for slow hardware features. How can you fix t hem? Hear best practices\, tips\, and tricks for improving the speed of common operations like network requests\, database access\, image loadin g\, etc. We’ll also review design patterns for accommodating slow subsys tems like GPS\, camera\, and webviews. How can you avoid getting trapped by poor performing software? The earlier you think about performance bo ttlenecks and design around them\, the less frustration and cost you wil l face getting your app to market. Jonathan will share a software design  methodology rooted in systems modeling that bridges the gap between UX design and source code. You will identify potential bottlenecks in your app before it’s written\, have productive conversations with designers a bout optimal user experience\, and spend less time re-designing object m odels and web APIs.\n\nTags: meetup:event=213687622 meetup:group=Mobile- Portland\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250467230 URL:http://www.meetup.com/Mobile-Portland/events/213687622/ SUMMARY:Why is Your App Slow?

The more loosely we couple these\, the more flexible\, resilient and long lasting our so ftware becomes. However\, it's not an easy task: our tools and inclinati ons don't lead us the right way. Just as in music\, it may take a step a way from purity for software to achieve the highest level of resiliency. \;\n \;\n>\; This multimedia presentation uses code examples in Python from Socorro\, the Mozilla Firefox Crash Reporting System. This reveals some enlightening parallels between API abstractions and centuri es old music.

So let's take this opportu nity to run a wearables audit with another Show and Tell! Since we last met\, Apple Watch has come out\, Google Glass has been taken out\, and F in Ring is still... hiding out. We'll have plenty of tech to play with\, including several smart watches\, smart glasses\, fitness trackers\, ne xt generation location trackers\, and even a baby monitor. We'll talk ab out what's new in consumer and commercial/healthcare wearables\, and eve n a bit about security.

Making your own! We'll l ook at a few wearable development kit options\, many are so easy they do n't require any specialized knowledge to make the next big thing! \;\ n \;\nWe have the pleasure of digging into the WearDuino development kit with its creator Mark Leavitt. WearDuino is a local creation by pdxw hl.org\, and is an open platform for innovation in wearable health techn ology. WearDuino highlights: \;\n \;\n* Open hardware\, firmware\, software and physical design \;\n* Simple: coin-cell battery\, Bluet ooth low energy wireless \;\n* Modular: experiment freely with sensor innovations \;\n* Wearable in multiple body locations with different attachments \;\n* Smaller\, lighter\, thinner and 5x less expensive than Apple Watch \;\n \;\nWe're also thrilled to host Camille Dods on who will show off LilyPad\, another Arduino based development kit. It 's not as focused on healthcare as WearDuino\, but is a great way for Ma kers to easily get their feet wet building and sharing cool wearable pro jects. \;\n \;\nWe'll look at other Wearable dev kits as well\, an d if you have any\, feel free to bring them along!

Submit yours here: https://github. com/PDXNode/pdxnode \;\n \;\n#singalong.js \;\nThe act of perfo rming music can be transcendent. But for many\, the dream of performance remains out of grasp. Wouldn't it be cool if we could endow the mobile browser that everyone carries in their pocket with the power to turn non -musicians into genuine performers capable of playing along with a band? Node\, plus a host of new HTML5 browser APIs makes it possible. \;\n \;\nSingalong.js enables musical collaborations in limitless combina tions\, in real time\, with no perceptible latency.
