    Portland C++ User's Group (PDXCPP

    Do you use C++? Would you like to learn C++?

    Writing an operating system, an autonomous multi-agent system, video game, or hacking on a Raspberry Pi? Stuck on a problem and need another point of view? Perhaps you know C++ and would like to interact with others who also have experience with the language?

    Meet up with other C++ programmers to learn, share, and develop tips and tricks of the trade, find out what local C++ projects are happening, and especially to better understand modern C++! All experience levels are welcome: You aren't alone on your C++ journey!

    Our group is different than some others in that we focus on "modern" C++. We discuss many aspects of the current-- or even future-- C++ standards.

    Come hobnob, learn, and share with other modern C++ enthusiasts!

    Once again, we are hosting a HackerLab event in Portland, OR! This will be a four-hour, hands-on, strategically guided lab aimed at people new to JavaScript to introduce Esri Leaflet, which makes it a pleasure to drop ArcGIS services into most everyone’s favorite Open Source web mapping library.

    This is a BYOM, BYOI, BYOA, and BYOD event: bring your own machine (seriously, we don't have any extras), ideas, apps and data. Yeah.

    Oh and here is a list of the required materials:

    1. Computer

    2. Smart text editor (think Notepad++, Sublime) installed

    3. Local web server running (check out this guide if you need help setting it up)

    4. ArcGIS for Developers or ArcGIS Organizational account

    PDXGo Talk Night: Go without the operating system
    golang

    Esri PDX R&D Center

    Gather with fellow Gophers for an evening of Talks and discussion around Golang! All experience levels welcome!

    Schedule:

    Hang out and chat with other Gophers until about 6:30

    Talk: Go without the operating system by Bernerd Schaefer

    Go lets you to compile your program into stand-alone binaries which can be safely shared across systems without worrying about a missing dependency. But there's one thing even a stand-alone executable depends on: the operating system. What if you could remove that dependency, too?

    AtmanOS is a project built to explore that question. It allows you to compile ordinary Go programs and run them on cloud providers like Amazon's EC2, without a traditional operating system.

    Please RSVP on the meetup page so we know what to set up!

    Continue discussion over beers at Baileys!

    Thanks to Esri R&D for hosting us once again!
