Comments from PBIT Group co-ordinator, John Vighetto:

All I can say is what an education we received from last night’s presentation! Personally, I was surprised at some of the laws regarding ownership and rights of property/code. Mr. Alan Weisberg presented both a unique but entertaining topic, which had everyone asking questions every time he changed a slide in his presentation (ok, yes, I started a lot of the inquiries). Alan’s knowledge and explanation of certain copyright laws was extremely thorough, and he was happy to entertain the scenarios we presented to him.

I want to thank Alan Weisberg, John Christopher (sorry we missed you at the meeting, but we know you had items to tend to), Luis Garcia and Andy Rapacke for not only presenting last night, but hosting and providing our group with food and beverages as well. We sincerely appreciate the time you took out to create this presentation. Thank you once again.

I also want to thank the members who were able to make it out to this presentation. I know most of us got caught in traffic, but I’m sure that it was definitely worth your trip down to Christopher and Weisberg, PA’s firm.

Should anyone in the group wish to contact the firm to retain their services, please go to http://www.cwiplaw.com/. Hope everyone has a great rest of the month, and hope to see you at next month’s meeting!

Regards,

Coders Café Report from Washington DC - Dave Noderer & Shervin Shakibi

In the picture… Marc Noderer, Dave Noderer, Maureen Homnick, Lois Frankel (Florida 22^nd Congressional District), Joe Homnick, Shervin Shakibi.

 
Quoting from the invitation to this event:

" A few weeks ago, Dave and Shervin traveled to Washington DC as part of the annual ACT Flyin (http://bit.ly/1iXhmJx/ to talk to the house and senate about topics of interest to software developers everywhere.

The primary topics were Intellectual Property, Privacy and Piracy. Intellectual property focused on the need for patent reform in a way that is fair to both large and small companies. Privacy affects all of us and especially app developers. There are many regulations and we all want to do the right thing but it is difficult for a small company to decipher and understand what is required. Piracy is important to app developers. If someone steals your mobile app bits and republishes, if they are in the USA it might be possible to catch and prosecute them, even for a small company. If that someone is in a forgeign country, especially for a small company, it turns into a trade issue and we need the support of our government to help.

Come and hear our stories and add your own at the next coders cafe.

Speakers:

Dave and Shervin have been doing software development for many years focused on Microsoft Technologies. Dave is a Microsoft MVP and Shervin is a Microsoft Regional Director."

Palm Beach IT Users Group, 13 May 14

From our Group Organizer, John Vighetto:

It was great seeing everyone last night. We had a good turnout, and the presentation conducted by Matt Somach of Comcast very impressive and informative.

As Matt stated, it’s very important for him to qualify a candidate for VoiceEdge because it is not the right fit for everyone.

When you have a customer that is in need of repair or replacement of a traditional key system, please remember our member Lynne Keane.

Congratulations to everyone that won a prize last night.

I want to thank Matt Somach and Comcast for not only sponsoring our meeting last night, but for the presentation, the food and the beverages.

Deerfield Beach Coders' Cafe, 6 May 14.

From the Invitation:
The Web technology and Web Development advance pretty quickly. By the time you finish reading this paragraph, two new JavaScript libraries will be created and another framework will get pushed to GitHub. Trust me. Go Check! In the .NET community, we've seen our fair share of web frameworks recently. Coincidentally, the authors of these frameworks found themselves essentially building the same components over for running web applications on different server hosts, i.e. IIS, XSP, and self-host. There was an obvious need for some common ground. Enter OWIN, a specification that defines a baseline interface for communication between web applications and web servers. In this talk we’ll explore the OWIN Specification, and what it means for the future of web development in .NET. We’ll also dive into some code and see how OWIN can be leveraged in your web projects today.

Speakers:

Cecil Phillip is a Software Developer from South Florida with many years of experience building applications on the .NET Framework. Throughout his career, his primary focus has been providing web and SOA based solutions for various markets. He also enjoys experimenting with different programming platforms such as Python, PowerShell, and Javascript. You can follow Cecil on Twitter via @cecilphillip.

Palm Beach IT Users Group mtg, 8 Apr 14

Quoting from our Co-ordinator, John Vighetto:

"I want to thank everyone that took the time to come out last night and see where we will be meeting from now on.

We had a great tour of Windstream’s switch room, which was conducted by Matt Pinto and Randall Ives. Very impressive layout!

Ms. Emily Hoch gave a very informative presentation on Windstream’s hosted Exchange solution, Disaster Recovery module, and the Mimecast product that provides email continuity and unlimited archiving.

For the paid annual members, I will have a recorded session for future viewing on our website.

I want to also thank Jennifer for continuing to host our user group meetings, as well as for providing us dinner from TooJays.

Some of us had our traditional MAM (Meeting After the Meeting) at Hurricane Bar & Grill. All I’m going to say is that we ended up closing the place down last night!"
------------------------------------------------------

I was very impressed with Windstream's Switch Room (DC).  As a former 'NOC-Rat' , I am very familiar with this area.  Sorry, we were very appropriately not allowed to take pictures in there. 

Presenter, Emily Hoch was very professional & knowledgeable.  Her use of a slide deck was minimal and avoidance of Power Point was refreshing.  Folks, if you want the meat and potatoes, you just gotta be there!

As John had stated, our MAM closed down the Hurricane Bar & Grill so this was a very productive evening.  Great drawing also !  Thanks John.
