There’s a military adage\, prior preparation preven ts poor performance. It’s something we can apply to all parts of our liv es and work. It’s especially true when designing and building a web UI. In this talk we will explore the tools\, methods and schleppy pre-work i nteraction designers and UI developers can do to move from paper to styl e guide to interactive prototype. This will not be an introduction to fr ont-end dev tools. You should have some familiarity with: • Taskrunner/b uild system (Gulp or Grunt) • SASS • Sourcemaps in JS and SASS • Module loaders (Require\, Browserfy or Webpack) • Lightweight view engines (Vue JS\, React JS\, Rivets JS or Ractive JS) Want to get up to speed?

Her talk will explore the basic animatio n principles used by character animators the world over for studios like Disney\, Pixar or Studio Ghibli and how those same principles can be ap plied to create more pleasing and engaging motion graphics and design fo r web developers. \;\n \;\nChristina is a Portland born and raise d designer and animator.

Lilien understand s your business challenges\, has the focused expertise and is committed to delivering technology solutions that fit right every time. Specializi ng in expertly tailored solutions for enterprise computing\, data manage ment\, virtualization and business continuity\, Lilien provides the righ t combination of products and IT consulting for your business needs. \n\ n\n\nDescription Traditional corporate data architectures aren’t up to t he task of handling the volume and velocity of today's data streams. The Fast + Big Data challenge requires a new approach for both corporate da ta architectures and the operational and analytic data management system s that enable them. Learn how VoltDB and HP Vertica can help to extract new insight and uncover hidden value from Fast + Big data more quickly t han ever before.  Led by Lilien Systems’ Big Data and Advanced Analytics Practice Director Paul Cattrone and Ryan Betts\, Chief Technology Offic er at VoltDB\, they will demonstrate how a high velocity in-memory datab ase can co-exist with an analytics database and how the two can share da ta between each other.   A live use case will be featured during the pre sentation. \n\n\nTopics Covered - What are the requirements for Fast Dat a - How are corporate data architectures evolving  - That “one size does not fit all” – the combination of a fast operational database with an a nalytics store yields a more optimal solution for this Fast + Big Data c hallenge About the host Thetus develops enterprise software that provide s modeling and analysis solutions to help solve real-world problems. The tus’ core product\, Savanna\, is a multi-source analysis suite that offe rs the best way for users to evaluate data\, collaborate\, execute analy tics\, and disseminate products. Our solutions are at work in enterprise s\, local government agencies and the national intelligence community. \ n\n\n\nPresenters: Paul Cattrone - Big Data &\; Analytics Practice Di rector at Lilien Systems Ryan Betts - Chief Technology Officer at VoltDB \n\n\nAgenda 5:30 – 6:00 Welcome &\; Networking 6:00 – 7:00 Big + Fa st Data Challenge Presentation 7:00 – 8:00 Networking + drinks and our s ignature delicious thin crust pizzas!\n\nTags: meetup:event=204640832\, meetup:group=Hadoop-Portland\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/even ts/1250466919 URL:http://www.meetup.com/Hadoop-Portland/events/204640832/ SUMMARY:Big + Fast Data - Featuring VoltDB and Lilien Systems LOCATION:Thetus Corporation: 326 SW Broadway\, Portland OR 97205 us SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141111T163248Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141113T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141113T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141111T163248Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141111T163248Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250467350 DESCRIPTION:Style Guides: Where Designers and Engineers Meet \;\n \ ;\nSpeaker: Brent Miller \;\nLead Software Engineer\, New Relic \; \n \;\nAll too often the designers and engineers on a team are seen a s being at odds with each other. It turns out that there's a huge area o f overlap\, where we all want the same things. The designer wants the bu tton to move down 2 pixels\, so it lines up to the baseline correctly. T he engineer doesn't want to have to worry about the baseline\, and doesn 't want to write extra code to make that one button line up. We can all agree on the rules. We can have it all! \;\n \;\nThis talk looks a t how you can build a functional\, beautiful style guide that will help you solve many of the long-term site management problems we all have. Yo u will walk away with a concrete understanding of how the style guide lo oks and behaves in code\, along with the semantic and technical underpin nings necessary to make it a feasible goal. \;\n\n\nImported from: ht tp://calagator.org/events/1250467350 URL:http://www.meetup.com/pdxweb/ SUMMARY:PDX Web + Design Meetup LOCATION:Thetus Corporation: 326 SW Broadway\, Portland OR 97205 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150407T200315Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150407T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150407T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150407T200315Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150407T200315Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250468189 DESCRIPTION:\n\nTags: ansible\, devops\n\nImported from: http://calagator .org/events/1250468189 URL:http://www.meetup.com/Ansible-Portland/events/220881131/ SUMMARY:Ansible Portland LOCATION:Thetus Corporation: 326 SW Broadway\, Portland OR 97205 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
