 uild technical infrastructure incrementally alongside features&#13\;\n&#
 13\;\nTestimonials&#13\;\n&#13\;\n&quot\;I don't know how they pulled of
 f the [class project]\, but going through four iterations brought the co
 ncepts home. Also I was a programmer wanting to learn about the project 
 development side. Diana's four-quadrant diagrams (about stakeholders) we
 re enlightening as was Jim's [incremental design] box diagrams and analo
 gy of TDD to double-entry bookkeeping. Thank you!!&quot\; --Steve Tamura

DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly gathering to discuss everything from 
 incident response to cross-team collaboration to automation frameworks. 
 Food provided. Please RSVP! This month: LIGHTNING TALKS! DevOps Preppers
  Sure\, the odds of you meeting your demise from a zombie bite are prett
 y much zero\, but pretending it could happen isn’t completely worthless.
  This talk will walk through how a prepper thinks\, how that mindset can
  be extended via the Incident Command System\, and how you can use iICS 
 for non-zombie-based risks. Tiffany Longworth is a Site Reliability Engi
 neer at Puppet. She has launched successful projects large and small\, b
 ut has also worked on projects that were spectacular failures! She likes
  using her background as a Marine\, her training as an English teacher\,
  automation\, and cat gifs as much as possible. ***** So you want to swi
 tch to microservices? The hype cycle around microservices often glosses 
 over the real challenges that engineering teams face when trying to migr
 ate away from monolithic applications. In this talk\, we'll discuss code
  architectures and strategies that can help guide your codebase's transi
 tion from mono to micro. Matt Greensmith is the Operations Engineering M
 anager at Cozy\, where's he's responsible for a lot of nouns that end in
  &quot\;ity\,&quot\; like reliability\, observability and security. In a
  past life he was simultaneously a call center rep\, a bingo caller and 
 a wedding DJ\, so you know he likes to talk. ***** A Brief History of Sc
 hedulers What do schedulers do for us\, how has that changed over time\,
  and why should we care? We'll discuss the historical context that gave 
 rise to early schedulers\, and take a look at the state of such tools to
 day. Kate has been in software engineering for almost a decade\, having 
 worked in areas ranging from power grid resiliency to fintech to enterpr

 ** What DevOps can teach you about starting a business (and why spreadsh
 eets are everything) I went from devops to starting a magazine and was h
 appy and dismayed that many of the same skills apply to both. What happe
 ns when you don’t have time for structuring databases\, building a custo
 m front-end\, or maintaining any real code? Well\, there’s a lot you can
  do with a spreadsheet. Audrey Eschright is a writer\, community organiz
 er\, and software developer based in Portland\, OR. She's the publisher 
 of The Recompiler\, a feminist technology magazine. Previously she found
 ed Calagator\, an open source community calendaring service which has be
 en actively used in the Portland tech community for ten years as of this
  month. Her work on community safety and codes of conduct is used by use
 r groups and open source projects around the world. ***** Pair Programmi
 ng/Problem Solving Pair programming is a practice a lot of engineers kno
 w about\, few profess to enjoy and everyone has an opinion about. Let’s 
 take a look at how to use it regardless of your role and leverage it to 
 shift our perception of effective problem solving. Logan Davis is a soft
 ware developer. He’s shipped a lot of code and some of it was pretty goo
 d. He believes in fostering an inclusive culture focused on solving prob
 lems in a healthy way. Logan currently is a software engineer at InComm 
 Digital Solutions. ***** Risky Business As we operate production systems
  they inevitably fail. As they fail and fail and fail again we as operat
 ors start to identify the way they fail and we know the causes of the fa
 ilures. What if we could see the future and predict failures before they
  happen. We're going to explore using techniques to identify risks and h
 ow to present the risks to engineering and business stakeholders. Jesse

DESCRIPTION:This event runs from Monday\, April 9\, 2018 at 8:30am throug
 h Wednesday\, April 11\, 2018 at 4:30pm.\n\nDescription:\nIn an effort t
 o raise the effectiveness of Scrum\, the Scrum Alliance created the Cert
 ified Scrum Developer (CSD) program (AKA Agile Engineering course.) A Ce
 rtified Scrum Developer is someone who has demonstrated through a combin
 ation of formal training and a technical skills assessment that he or sh
 e has a working understanding of Scrum principles and has learned specia
 lized Agile engineering skills. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nThis three-day class is 
 aimed at helping software development professionals and teams be more ef
 fective when implementing Scrum and other Agile methodologies.  You will
  learn how to create and maintain high quality systems through industry 
 standard practices such as Test Driven Development (TDD)\, Continuous In
 tegration (CI) and common software design patterns. This class was speci
 fically designed to deliver the core Agile Development Practices Learnin
 g Objectives of the CSD program and should prepare the participant to su
 ccessfully pass the Scrum Alliance CSD Candidate Assessment.&#13\;\n&#13
 \;\nThis class focuses on automated testing\, TDD (heavily covered in cl
 ass)\, Continuous Integration\, Design Concepts (Design Principles and P
 ractices) and Extreme Programming (XP) practices. Class is hands-on\, an
 d you will participate in a project where you will build an actual featu
 re using Agile practices and learn about the technical practices. You'll
  learn about how team members interact during sprints. Other topics cove
 red include Technical Debt: Strategies &amp\; Techniques to help reduce 
 technical debt.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nIn order to earn the CSD certification\, 
 the Scrum Alliance requires at least five days of formal training follow
 ed by a CSD assessment/evaluation. This class fulfills 21 of the require
 d 35 hours and can be paired with the Certified ScrumMaster class to com
 plete the requirement.\n\nTags: agile\, scrum\, developer\, engineering\

 form on AWS&quot\; presented by Chris Dunlap- Sr. Solution Engineer @ Ha
 shiCorp Terraform is a tool for building\, changing\, and versioning inf
 rastructure safely and efficiently. This talk will focus on how customer
 s can leverage Terraform to eliminate unnecessary cloud spend by 30-40% 
 and reduce risk by baking guardrails and best practices into their autom
 ation. 7pm-7:30pm &quot\;Intelligent decisions about cloud usage with Cl
 oudability’s FinOps platform&quot\; presented by Patrick Zumar- Senior S
 E @ Cloudability A new operating model for the cloud\, called FinOps\, i
 s emerging that enables a shift — a combination of systems\, best practi
 ces and culture — to increase an organization’s ability to understand cl
 oud costs and make tradeoffs. In the same way that DevOps revolutionized
  development by breaking down silos and increasing agility\, FinOps incr
 eases the business value of cloud by bringing together technology\, busi
 ness and finance professionals with a new set of processes. FinOps has s
 everal fundamental building blocks we’ve seen high performing organizati
 ons put in place to gain competitive advantage. Patrick Zumar will share
  what we’ve learned from guiding hundreds of large and small cloud adopt
 ers on their journey to adopt FinOps. 7:30pm-8pm Networking\n\nTags: mee
