Phase2

5:30 Meet&Greet + Eat

6:00 Hannah Neal: Worksource You’re not alone. Worksource Portland Metro has a lot of services for job-seekers, and especially for those seeking to switch into a career in tech. Hannah will give a mini-talk/overview of what’s available.

6:20 Aaron Krause: Debugging in JS To say debugging is a crucial skill would be an obvious understatement. Aaron is going to talk about (front-end) debugging philosophy. Not philosophy like if an object falls in the woods and nobody has the keys, does it even have a value, but more like How to know what you don’t even know you don’t know.

7:00 Hang out/Network/Maybe form a team to code stuff that will blow everyone away and the rest of us can say we were there when you came up with it.

On Thursday evening, Devsigner presenter Kristen Gallagher will be giving a special workshop for fellow Devsigner presenters -- and it's open to the public.

The workshop is free.

If you're new to speaking -- or just want to brush up on your skills -- please join us!

Talks aren't fun. Panels aren't fun. Conference talks usually suck for many reasons, but they mostly suck because no one is learning anything and everyone is just staring blankly at the talker. It doesn't have to be this way... it doesn't have to hurt. You’re about to give a talk - a talk that really should be awesome. Come hang out and get your hands dirty with making conference talks that are actually awesome. This talk won't hurt at all - all you have to do is teach, don't talk.

In person: Thursday, June 18, 6:00 PM at Phase2, 514 NW 11th Avenue, Suite 203, Portland, OR

Online: We'll be livestreaming the workshop as well. Join us through Google Hangouts at 6:00 PM

Takeaways:

• get concrete tools to set up your presentations to be as awesome as possible
• learn how to be yourself while talking
• learn how to create talks that people remember

The Devsigner Conference features sessions and workshops focusing on frontend web design and development techniques, tips and tools. We also aim to inspire our technically inclined creative community with amazing session topics that bridge the gap between art and code. Join us June 27-28th in Portland, Oregon for the second annual Devsigner!

This month Erik Bladwin will be presenting on Gulp! For those of you who don't know, Gulp is a task/build manager best used for automation. Praised by many as easier to use than Grunt with all of the same benefits. Gulp can be used to easily; minify and/or uglify your code, refresh your browser when files have changed, and so much more. If you enjoy automation, and you haven't heard about or used Gulp, this meet-up is for you!

Bring your laptops, or share with a friend. This month we'll be diving into the world of visual regression testing with PhantomCSS.

Visit the PhantomCSS Github Page for installation instructions.

The main requirement is installing Casperjs

It would be worth installing Wraith as well. If we have time, we'll dive into that quickly as well.

React, Extends vs Mixins and more!

ISITE Design's Alex Mueller and Christoph Saxe will be discussing their new front-end development framework Phoenix. In development and used in projects for over a year, it enables their team to work quickly and efficiently, write cleaner and more scalable code, and collaborate across teams more easily.

Battle of the Javascript MVC's!
