Once again it's NSCoder PDX--Where you can code (and/or drink) and bounce questions off your peers:

Place:
Lucky Lab Brewery
915 SE Hawthorne Blvd
Miser Monday (deals on beer all night long)

Date/Time:
Monday 25 Aug 2014
6:30PM-whenever you've had enough


No formal presentation (you don't have to participate in the "Informal Discussion" if you're working on something else), no "leader" (cats don't need herding…), just an informal gathering of people hanging out, coding, and bouncing ideas off each other.

Great beer, food, plenty of electricity and Wi-Fi.

Join us, and if you can, bring a notebook/laptop and code to work on... If not, you can still come and enjoy the wonder that is Lucky Lab!

We are usually located on the rear (east) wall near an electrical outlet (unless someone else got to the outlets first). If you are the first, plant your flag / Stammtisch and grab that electricity.

"Informal Discussion Topic(s)" of the week:
CocoaHeads:
Did anyone get a chance to actually play with the Continuous Integration and Jenkins stuff that (the other) Scott talked about at CocoaHeads last week? We can play with that a bit.
Continuing:
A previous NSCoder suggested working on a team app to put on the app store (for resume building). If anyone is interested in working with peers to put an app together, let's keep talking about it.

Any questions, let me know

"Informal Discussion Topic(s)" of the week:

Timely:
NSCoder is moving locations! We’re canvassing ideas for a place that’s a bit less noisy and a bit more conducive to group discussions.
And it will also move back to Tuesday evening.
Janine and I have a couple of places in mind, but if you have any suggestions I am all ears.
We may or may not have one in two weeks (29 Dec), but most certainly will in four (12 January).

Dedicated parking spots in the lot, and easy to get to by transit or walking (corner of Madison and SE 11th)

Since remodeling from Madison’s to Mad Son’s, the downstairs layout is quite cozy and informal.
BUT they still have the semi-private upstairs with a ginormous TV, so if you don’t see any NSCoder colleagues downstairs, walk up the stairs and look for us there. We are hoping to be able to use that TV for informal discussion presentations (and when there isn’t a game on).

How to find me: If you see someone wearing an orange shirt with a MacBookPro, come over and say “Hi Scott”. If you don’t, text me.



"Informal Discussion Topic(s)" of the week:

Timely:
NSCoder has moved locations! Let me know Pros & Cons.
We are still considering alternating to the westside, but I have yet to find (or have someone suggest) a suitable spot

Ongoing:
The NSCoder immediately preceding and following CocoaHeads will be germane to the CocoaHeads discussion topic.

Laughing Planet exists all over Portland, and this one is surprisingly (to a snobby Eastsider) really nice…

Food is excellent, and yes they do have beer (and also non-beer options, this location was chose specifically because it is NOT a pub).

Once again it's NSCoder PDX--Where you can code (and/or drink/eat) and bounce questions off your peers:

Place: Mad Son’s Pub (formerly Madison’s, they threw the “i" overboard...)
1109 SE Madison St.
http://www.madsonspub.com
Dedicated parking spots in the lot, and easy to get to by transit or walking (corner of Madison and SE 11th)

Date/Time: Tuesday
Cinco de Mayo 2015
6:30PM-whenever you've had enough


No formal presentation (you don't have to participate in the "Informal Discussion" if you're working on something else), no "leader" (cats don't need herding…), just a gathering of people hanging out, coding, and bouncing ideas off each other.

Great beer, food, plenty of electricity, and Wi-Fi.

Join us, and if you can, bring a notebook/laptop and code to work on... If not, you can still come and chat, and enjoy the wonder that is Mad Son's!

Since remodeling from Madison’s to Mad Son’s, the downstairs layout is cozy and comfortable (even a fireplace).
AND they still have the semi-private upstairs with big screen TV, so if you don’t see any NSCoder colleagues downstairs, walk up the stairs and look for us there.

"Informal Discussion Topic(s)" of the week:

Timely:
Janine discussed size classes last week, we could discuss issues had with size classes

"Informal Discussion Topic(s)" of the week:

Timely:
I was out of town helping family for two solid weeks--if you have anything you'd like to share that would be great

Ongoing:
1. Richard Clem will be continuing coordinating a group of students following the Swift programming/assignments from the CS193P class at Stanford.

2. The NSCoder immediately preceding and following CocoaHeads could be germane to the most recent CocoaHeads discussion topic. For those that went last week, we would love to hear about it!

The last time we were at MadSons’s, the internet was unusably slow. I’m looking for other close-in eastside options—any ideas?

Place: Produce Row (reopened!)

corner of SE 2nd and SE Oak, near MLK/Stark, and Portland Streetcar (which is currently not operating) and multiple bus lines

I had considered moving NSCoder to Produce Row several months ago, but then they sadly closed. But now they are reopened, with more room, less noise, more outside/inside choices, and better WiFi than we’ve had in the past at other locations.


"Informal Discussion Topic(s)" of the week:

Timely:
I looked around at several new places for NSCoder, and am happiest with Produce Row. If others have any input, I’m all ears.

Ongoing:
1. The NSCoder immediately preceding and following CocoaHeads could be germane to the most recent CocoaHeads discussion topic. For those that went last time, or want to prepare us for the next one we would love to hear about it!


Any questions, let me know

Scott
How to find me: If you see someone with a 17” MacBookPro (oh how I love the non-glare screen), come over and say “Hi Scott”. If you don’t, text me
cell: (503) 781-0781
Of the 3 people that showed up last week, one left just a few seconds before I got there (according to the bartender). If you don’t see me, text me!



Yes, this is another NSCoder falling right in front of a CocoaHeads. I blame Janine...

Sorry for the last minute warning—I’ve been out-of-town quite a bit, and nearly forgot that tonight is the night…
