Worse\, everyone already thinks they’re agile in spirit. (After all\, the thesaurus tells us the alternative is to be clumsy\, stiff\, slow\, and dull.) So it’s too eas y for people to feel free to launch into “doing Agile” without ever havi ng a serious conversation about what that actually means. \;\n \;\ nThis problem is easily fixed. We’ll just stop talking about “Agile” and start speaking of “artisanal retro-futurism crossed with team-scale ana rcho-syndicalism.” There is\, I think\, no danger that anyone will refl exively say\, “Yes! That’s just what I’ve been wanting to do all along! ” \;\n \;\nThe new name does more than just encourage conversation . It encourages conversation about those very properties of Agile that h ave become obscure as Agile has been commoditized. In this session\, I’l l unpack the meanings of the new phrase and encourage you to rediscover what’s been lost. \;\n\n\nTags: agile\, guest speaker\, spirit\n\nImp orted from: http://calagator.org/events/1250457311 URL:http://www.xpdx.org/ SUMMARY:XPDX June: artisanal retro-futurism crossed with team-scale anarc ho-syndicalism LOCATION:Robert Half Technology\, 2nd Floor Conference Room: 222 SW Colum bia St\, Portland OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090623T180154Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090707T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090707T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090623T180154Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090623T181745Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250457336 DESCRIPTION:The Portland Ruby Brigade is a user group for Ruby programmer s in the Portland\, Oregon area.

These are the early days of non-relational databases. So in my opini on this is a good time to think hard about what a high-level interface s hould look like. \;\n \;\nThere will be a definite Ruby slant to t his meeting.

"\;Ruby Persistence with CouchDB"\;\, Jesse Hallett \ ;\n \;\nThere are several libraries out there that provide high level interfaces between Ruby and CouchDB. I will give an overview of some o f them\, discuss the pros and cons of each\, and show how these librarie s make working with CouchDB easier. Along the way I will talk about the particular types of problems that CouchDB is good at solving. \;\n&# 13\;\nJesse Hallett has been designing web applications with Ruby for ne arly three years now. He has worked on administrative / record-keeping applications\, CMS and Ecommerce platforms\, and various other pieces of software. He spends as much time as possible with his fellow geeks in organizations like the Portland Ruby Brigade and the Portland JavaScript Admirers. Jesse has developed a strong interest in the evolving state- of-the-art of client-side JavaScript technology and next generation data bases. Jesse is currently developing JavaScript technology at Jive Softw are. \;\n \;\n \;\n2. "\;Testing iPhone apps with Ruby and Cucumber"\;\, Ian Dees \;\n \;\nThis talk begins with a survey of the landscape of iPhone UI testing. In particular\, we’ll discuss th e groundbreaking work done by Matt Gallagher in stimulating and spiderin g the iPhone UI with an XPath test script. That will be a natural jumpin g-off point to explain why a full-fledged “GUI driver” for iPhone apps h as been long in coming. We’ll look at different ways to prod at applicat ion code\, and discuss the tradeoffs. Finally\, I’ll introduce a simple library of Ruby glue code to connect Cucumber test scripts to the iPhone . The technique will be very basic\, but just powerful enough to test a simple iPhone app. \;\nPizza\, learning and a great time to network w ith the fabulous PHP Community! *** Does your site have a good search me chanism? Does it offer adequate quality for results? Is it a sustainable solution for the foreseeable scale required by your site? This week Chr is Irvine will share experiences from a recent project\, where he conver ted a site's traditional search method over to a search service\, specif ically AWS CloudSearch. Key topics will be: * What can go wrong with typ ical RDBMS based search solutions?* What is a search service? What does AWS CloudSearch offer specifically?* Live demo: Setup a sample search do main and explore available features* A look at the AWS PHP SDK* Case stu dy: Walk through implementation details for a given site \;\n \;\n * How much improvement did we measure? What didn't work?* Lessons learne d\, the good and bad of The Cloud. Chris Irvine is a Senior Technology C onsultant and founder at Threeprong.com LLC\, specializing in performanc e tuning\, B2B integration\, and custom workgroup solutions. He's local to the Portland area and a PSU alum. His professional experience include s management roles in multiple industries\, and numerous development and database environments. Much of his recent projects have been in PHP/MyS QL\, Python\, and also the FileMaker workgroup and mobile platforms. \;\nIan Dees saw his first Timex Sinclair 1000 over 20 years ago\, and w as instantly hooked. Since then\, he’s debugged embedded assembly code u sing an oscilloscope\, written desktop apps in C++\, and joyfully employ ed scripting languages to make testing less painful.

While most developers have internalized \ ;\nthe rules of thumb for designing schemas for RDBMSs\, these rules don 't \;\nalways apply to MongoDB. The simple fact that documents can re present \;\nrich\, schema-free data structures means that we have a l ot of viable \;\nalternatives to the standard\, normalized\, relation al model. Not only \;\nthat\, MongoDB has several unique features\, s uch as atomic updates and \;\nindexed array keys\, that greatly influ ence the kinds of schemas that \;\nmake sense. Understandably\, this begets good questions: \;\n \;\n* Are foreign keys permissible\, o r is it better to represent one-to- \;\nmany relations withing a sing le document? \;\n* Are join tables necessary\, or is there another te chnique for building \;\nout many-to-many relationships? \;\n* Wha t level of denormalization is appropriate? \;\n* How do my data model ing decisions affect the efficiency of updates \;\nand queries? \; \n \;\nIn this session\, we'll answer these questions and more\, prov ide a \;\nnumber of data modeling rules of thumb\, and discuss the tr adeoffs of \;\nvarious data modeling strategies. \;\n \;\nABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade is a user group for Ruby programme rs in the Portland Oregon area.
