    Code & Coffee - Beaverton
    –
    Fly Chai

    Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session: drink your beverage of choice, bring your laptop, and hang out with your peers! Have engaging conversations, or focus on work or projects. This is a great opportunity to learn from others, share your knowledge, and possibly collaborate on side projects, online courses, or even your day-to-day work.

    ---- Schedule ----

    You're welcome to drop in anytime during the event. We understand that everyone may have external commitments and challenges - join us when you can!

    We have informal unscheduled introductions - practice your personal elevator pitch, or take things slower to build your confidence.

    ---- Venue ----

    Fly Chai allow us to informally and freely use their space. If within your budget, we'd appreciate your help to sustain our use of the venue, by purchasing something tasty, whether Chai or otherwise.

    Find us at tables with a Code&Coffee sign - or a clump of laptop-users!

    Wifi and power outlets are available. Our meeting area should be accessible - please let us know if not.

    ---- What to expect ----

    Smaller events than you may be used to, with a mixed crowd week-to-week. We expect this is likely due to us meeting weekly, at a less central location.

    These may result in what you're looking for:

    A smaller, less intimidating, lower pressure, cozy atmosphere.
A mix of regular and new faces.
A simpler schedule - every week, same time, same place - that you can drop into when you like.
Being closer to you than other events.

    Whether those are generally or partly to your liking, we hope you'll consider dropping by sometime!

    ---- Getting to the venue ----

    Look for the venue on the meetup Google map, or alternatives like OpenStreetMap.

    -- Driving --

    There are limited parking spaces on a lot outside the venue (4+1 accessible), with more in the surrounding area.

    -- Transit options --

    Beaverton Central (Red/Blue MAX), then walk~ 8 minutes

    Beaverton Transit Center (Red/Blue MAX, bus, WES) then walk ~11 minutes

    For a shorter walk to the venue, take a bus from Beaverton Transit Center (52 to Farmington/Hall, 76 to Watson/Broadway, 57 to Canyon/Watson)

  • Big Data? No Problem! An introduction to arrow for R

    Working with data that's too large, too slow, or too messy for regular CSVs? Join us for an introduction to the {arrow} package in R. We'll explore how Arrow and Parquet files can make large datasets faster to store, read, and analyze, all while using the familiar dplyr workflows you already know and love. Using Portland's Biketown data, we'll convert, query, and visualize millions of rides without breaking a sweat (or our laptops).

    Bring your laptop if you want to follow along.

    No need to RSVP via Meetup, but we might share info ahead of time in the event comments!

  • Build Night: From a Teacher's Idea to an AI-Powered Printable Business — Full Stack Devs PDX

    This month we're building something real, live, for a real person.

    THE BRIEF: A local bilingual early-childhood teacher wants to turn years of classroom experience into printable Spanish/English curricula for children ages 1-5: weekly and monthly plans, plus ready-to-print activities for math, language, art, sensory play and motor skills. Teachers, childcare centers and families buy a download, print it and use it the same day. The plan: sell on Teachers Pay Teachers and Etsy, promote on Pinterest, and let AI help with ideas, organization and promotion without losing the teacher's own voice.

    TONIGHT WE BUILD IT TOGETHER WITH CLAUDE CODE, starting from the teacher's written brief:

    • A draft generator: pick an age, theme, skill and language, and get a weekly plan with learning objectives and matching activities, in both Spanish and English
    • The teacher's voice, not the model's: a style guide and real examples so drafts sound like the teacher, with the teacher reviewing and approving every piece
    • Print-ready output: a cover, instructions, the weekly plan and activity pages as letter-size PDFs
    • Quality checks: age-appropriateness, bilingual accuracy, originality, and images that are safe to sell
    • Selling without sending files: automatic delivery on the marketplaces, plus draft listings, preview images and Pinterest pins

    WHY COME IF YOU'RE NOT A TEACHER? The pattern is the same one behind most useful AI products: AI drafts, a human approves, and the system packages and delivers. You'll see how to scope it, where AI helps, where it needs a human, and what it takes to make the output good enough to sell.

    Bring a laptop to build along, or just bring questions. Beginners and veterans welcome. Hablantes de espanol bienvenidos.

    EVENT DETAILS Food, drinks and conversation from 7:00. Short show & tell at 7:20. Live build from 7:30. Free to attend. Free parking at Gladstone Park SDA Church.

    –
    Honey Latte Cafe

    Let’s get together for an informal BEAM PDX hangout: coffee, conversation, and light co-working.

    Note: Your RSVP is required in order to attend this event.

    This is a low-key monthly meetup for folks working with Elixir, Erlang, Gleam, and other BEAM languages, aimed at reconnecting the local community and rebuilding momentum after a long quiet stretch. We'll holding this on the second Thursday of each month.

    There will be opportunities to:

    • Ask questions about Elixir and other BEAM languages
    • Share what you’ve been working on (or stuck on)
    • Get help with programming or design problems
    • Co-work: get things done with like-minded folks nearby
    • Brainstorm ideas for future talk-based meetups and identify potential speakers
    • Bring your laptop if you’d like. It's totally optional.

    New to BEAM languages, or just curious? You’re very welcome.

    Please RSVP so we know roughly how many people to expect. If your plans change, un-RSVP when you can.

    This meetup is also part of our transition away from Meetup to a new home for the group, where we’ll be organizing future events.
