SUMMARY:Calagator full-day code sprint
DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20080621T180000
DESCRIPTION:Calagator is an all-volunteer, open-source project to develop a calendar\naggregation system for the Portland technical community. For further\ndetails about the project, see calagator.org\n\nThe Calagator team has made excellent headway since we've started this\nproject a few months ago. I'm pleased to announce our preliminary\nroadmap to version 1.0: http://code.google.com/p/calagator/wiki/Roadmap\n\nIf you're a designer, writer, or programmer, we could use your help in\ndesigning new UIs, writing documentation, and adding interesting features.\n\nWe have two code sprints coming up:\n1. Wednesday 6/18 at Backspace, from noon until it's time to leave for\nIgnite Portland.\n2. Saturday 6/21 at CubeSpace, from 10am until 6pm, although we often\nend up moving to the Side Door and staying later.\n\nYou do not need to stay for the entire code sprint -- stay as long as\nyou'd like. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if you haven't\nattended a code sprint before. If you want to help with programming,\nexperience with Ruby on Rails and agile development is helpful, but\nyou're welcome to come even if you're new to these because this is a\ngreat way to learn.\n\nJoin us!\n\n-igal

SUMMARY:pdxfunc: Functional programming with dynamic languages
DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20080609T210000
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the next meeting of pdxfunc, the Portland Functional\nProgramming Study Group. The group meets monthly for presentations,\ndemos and discussions. We welcome programmers interested in all\nfunctional languages, and the meetings feature content for coders of all\nskill levels. If interested, please subscribe to our mailing list at\nhttp://groups.google.com/group/pdxfunc\n\nPRESENTATION:\n\nTitle: Functional programming with dynamic languages\n\nSummary: Dynamic, multi-paradigm languages such as Ruby, Python and Perl\nallow programmers great flexibility in how they can write their code,\nalthough most use an imperative (AKA "procedural") style. However, using\na functional style selectively can help provide clearer and shorter\ncode, reduce bugs, and improve performance. This presentation will\nprovide a basic overview of functional programming, sample code\ndemonstrating how to use functional programming features of dynamic\nlanguages, compare and contrast code samples of functional and\nimperative styles, and discuss when each style is appropriate. No\nprevious knowledge of functional programming is necessary.\n\nBio: Igal Koshevoy is a Business-Technology Consultant with over a\ndecade of experience creating sophisticated, business-critical systems\nusing open source technologies. He is the author of an open source\nserver automation toolkit available at "automateit.org", and supports\nlocal community efforts through Calagator, Portland Ruby Brigade,\nPortland Functional Programming Study Group, Legion of Tech, Ignite\nPortland, etc.\n\nSee you there!\n\nPS: Sorry for the short notice, but Kevin's talk on XML parsing with\nHaskell had to be delayed. Hopefully he'll be able to present it next month.
