Coders Café - 2017-12-13 - Cendyn, Boca - Blockchain 101 - The Future of Digital Contracts, Joe Homnick

Joe takes you on an easy to understand journey of Blockchain technology. Blockchain is the basis of Cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Bitcoin etc., however, extends way beyond these as a framework for Smart Contracts. Blockchain is an emerging way for businesses, industries, and public organizations to almost instantaneously make and verify transactions—streamlining business processes, saving money, and reducing the potential for fraud. At its core, a blockchain is a data structure that’s used to create a digital transaction ledger that, instead of resting with a single provider, is shared among a distributed network of computers. The result is a more open, transparent, and publicly verifiable system that will fundamentally change the way we think about exchanging value and assets, enforcing contracts, and sharing data across industries. The applications using blockchain are almost limitless, ranging from loans, bonds, and payments to more efficient supply chains to even identity management and verification. Joe will also look at the new CoCo Framework and Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) as a means of implementing your own smart contract system.

dotNet Café - 2017-11-15 - Cendyn, Boca Turning software into computer chips - Zoltán Lehóczky

As seen on .NET Conf 2017, we have Zoltán Lehóczky showing us: Turning software into computer chips with Hastlayer

Software is flexible, specialized hardware is extremely fast. So why not write software, then turn it into a computer chip? This is what Hastlayer does by transforming .NET software into electronic circuits. The result is faster and uses less power while you simply keep on writing software. You may not be able to tell just by looking at it but behind some function calls now actually embedded hardware is working! (You wonder how? Check out what FPGAs are!) In this demo-packed session we'll get an overview of what Hastlayer is, why it is useful for developers like you and how to write Hastlayer-compatible software.
About Zoltán Lehóczky
Co-founder and managing director of Lombiq Technologies, originator of the Hastlayer project. His main expertise is in .NET software development and software architecture design. Core contributor of the ASP.NET Orchard CMS, guest lecturer at Óbuda University, John von Neumann Faculty of Informatics.

Peter Pezaris presents: CodeStream a real-time collaboration tool for Javascript

Boca JS

Tuesday, November 7, 2017
6:45 PM

Cendyn Spaces, in the Atrium
980 North Federal Highway
Boca Raton, FL 

Peter Pezaris presents: CodeStream a real-time collaboration tool for Javascript

Peter Pezaris (Founder of CodeStream and Founder of Glip that was purchased by RingCentral) will be presenting  CodeStream CodeStream revolutionizes the software development process by allowing programmers to collaborate on writing, debugging and optimizing source code in real-time through team chat built right into their favorite IDE.
The idea of CodeStream is in response to our thesis that software developers suffer from "heads-down" syndrome and too often try to learn or solve problems in isolation, rather than communicating specifically about written, or about-to-be-written, source code.

They believe that by making it super-simple and completely frictionless to discuss code, development teams will better leverage the expertise of the more skilled members, and elevate the productivity and quality of the entire team and the end product.
NOW! Since Peter is the FOUNDER of CodeStream he wants to give all the BocaJS Members a chance to join their Alpha ONLY because you're a member of BocaJS. So even though we ALWAYS record the events you WILL want to join us to find out more.


About Peter Pezaris
Peter has been creating products in the real-time messaging industry for the last 15 years, having previously founded and sold Commissioner.com (CBS), Multiply (Naspers) and Glip (RingCentral). He is a technical CEO, having managed development teams for 25+ years.

Palm Beach IT Users Group, 11 Apr 17

Comments from group co-ordinator:
I thank everyone who was in attendance at last night's meeting!

Paul led us through a switch tour at Windstream, where we saw the guts of their network architecture, PCM equipment,  brand new 3-phase battery backup room, and possible birthplace of a new fixed wireless.

Hersel showed us how Windstream's SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) will have big benefits for  retail locations, and medium-large clients in the mid sized market. With 2 available circuits and BYOB, network traffic is automatically monitored for performance metrics, prioritized, and de-prioritized with Dynamic Multi-Path Optimization.

Jennifer and Hersel exemplified how their SD-WAN uses ISP's efficiently and inexpensively as a cost-effective alternative to MPLS for small to medium businesses.

A special thanks for Jennifer Cohen, Hersel Guerra, and Paul for hosting us at Windstream, providing the group with dinner, and for showing us their evolutionary SD-WAN and awesome array of switch equipment!

Some comments from our Group Co-Ordinator and other participants:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
(From John Vighetto)

I wanted to thank everyone who attended last night’s meeting. I think the ideas that were put on the whiteboard from your suggestions for future presentations were great ideas, and I hope to help in having to get some of these presenters.

Thank you Harold for stepping up and accepting the challenge to be the next victim (I mean user group leader!) for our group. I’m sure that you’ll do great; especially now that we have tentative committees setup to help out. I will definitely help out in whatever capacity you feel I can.

I want to sincerely thank everyone who pitched in for my thank you card from the group. I was very pleasantly surprised at the generosity and gratitude displayed. I’m truly humbled. Thank you all once again!

Special thanks to Jen for continuing to host our user group meetings. Can’t thank you enough!

Check back on the website soon. It will be changing, and we will need everyone who still wishes to be included in the Google Groups email thread to please register; otherwise you will be removed from the existing member list.

Regards,

Last night i mentioned that one of the other groups i belong to will be meeting this Saturday at the Broward main library.

If you'd like to come to the meeting, here is the information for the group:  HackMiami.org   - http://hackmiami.org/2017/01/03/01-14-2017-first-meeting-of-the-year/

They also have a Meetup.com group that you can join and see all of the meeting information as well.

Even if you don't want to join the group, you should come in and check out the Creation Station at the Library.  It's like nothing you've ever seen before!  (well, some of you have seen better, i'm sure... but it's pretty darn impressive!)

should you decide to come on Saturday - park in the parking garage across the street from the library.  it is 1.50 per hour or something but it is covered and it is cheaper than the surrounding parking - unless you just want to walk from somewhere far far away that has free parking?  also, we are in the creation station on the first floor - park in the garage, pay the meter, put the ticket back in your car, take the walkway over the street on the 2nd floor, down the escalator, turn left and go to the left corner.

Adam - per our discussion, just let me know which email address you'd like to use and i can have B0tOrn0t send you and invite for the Slack group.  There are a few Pi enthusiasts there that would probably love the project you were describing... and i have to say that i'd really like to do one of those as well.  That could be the first project that we work on.  :)

Boca JavaScript User Group 3 Jan 17

Michael Vargas presents Angular 2: Everything You Want to Know In An Hour

This was the invitation:  Join me, Michael Vargas, co-organizer of BocaJS, as we cover the Angular 2 ecosystem using Angular CLI. 

In this session, we'll cover varying skillsets:
For the beginner: 
We'll begin by covering the basics of Angular 2 like:
• TypeScript
•  Modules
• Built-in Directives
• Components
• Services
• Pipes
• Bootstrap 4 Integration

For the intermediate: 
And then move onto the Angular2 CLI to generate application artifacts using convention over configuration to create an application.

For the advanced:
We'll walk through a use case of the application that was put together using Angular2/CLI and Bootstrap 4 for the upcoming UX+DEV Summit Conference. Discuss some of the best practice principles from John Papa and Dan Wahlin.

Hope to see all of you there!!
