Comments from the PBIT group organizer:

I want to thank Alex Raskin from Adtran for his informative and also entertaining presentation. There were parts of his wifi presentation that I was not aware that I should be doing, and his talk regarding their new line of routers and switches kept people asking questions.

Thank you Alex for dinner from Paneras, and let's not forgot Jennifer from Windstream for hosting our meetings.

Thanks to all that showed up, and I promise that the link for the webcast will go up sooner than what it did last night for the members who would like to view this online.

Regards,

John Vighetto

Further:

Thanks Alex  for an excellent presentation, I was unaware of Adtran latest technology and products until last night.

Thanks John for the dedication to the group and Jennifer for the support!

Deerfield Beach Coders' Cafe 02 September 2014

Here is the bulletin for this event:
Bring your Windows 7/8/8.1 laptop to the next Coders Café and David Cobb will walk us through getting started with PowerShell.

We will get hands on with PowerShell and cover:

• The basics of PowerShell syntax
• The three commands that unlock all of PowerShell!
• Amazingly useful cmdlets and scripts
• Leveraging the.Net Framework
• Where to go from here

This will be an interactive session, we should all walk away with some practical powershell skills. Demo scripts will be available online on OneDrive and a free USB key!

Technical Note: Windows 7 has PowerShell version 2 by default, but you can upgrade to PowerShell version 3 with the Windows Management Framework 3.0. This is recommended, but not required to learn and participate in the session, though some features and scripts may not be compatible with version 2.

Coders Cafe - Deerfield Beach - 09-02-2014 - Hands on PowerShell - David Cobb

BRING YOUR LAPTOPS!! We are planning on having an interactive session where you will be able dive into powershell and try it for yourself!

If you are running windows 8 you already have Powershell 3. If you are on Window 7 and want to upgrade to Powershell 3 you will need to download the Windows Management Framework 3.0: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34595. This video goes through the upgrade process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlOT36BI0Kw. 

This was a greaat event experience.  Dave (Cobb) took us through loading Powershell and then running it in ISA / Administrator mode.  The basic functions and procedures followed.  Really a great way to get off the ground or smooth off some of the rough spots.

Palm Beach IT Users Group meeting, 12 Aug 14

Quoting from PBIT Grou Leader, John Vighetto:

I want to thank everyone who made it down to last night's meeting (and also to the people who were able to view the webcast). From what I've heard last night at the MAM (Meeting After the Meeting), everyone enjoyed the presentation quite a bit.

Many thanks to Shae Adams for his presentation, hosting the meeting, and providing the great food and drinks. Shae did a great job explaining what to look for on your website to drive more business to it, as well as what to look for to target the vertical market you're trying to reach.

Thanks also to Eyas Musallam for speaking to his client (Top Pro Media Group) to have them present to our group.

Once the member login area is completed, I will send a private email to the paid members to this area so that they can view/access the previously recorded meetings/presentations. We are currently working on this and hope to have it done very soon.

This presentation addressed marketing your business on Social Media (Google,Yahoo, Bing, Facebook etc.).  Among the critical factors here, management, cost factors, measurement and effectiveness.  See the photo essay HERE  .

Palm Beach IT Users Group, 09 June 2014

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!

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."
