|
| |
| c) software investments

|
| |
| d) job choice
| |
|
| |
| e) where to invest your computer/tech-related volunteer time
| |
|
| |

| |
|
| |
| We did not get any volunteers for speakers, so we'll go play instead.
| |
|
| |
| We're going to hang out at the Machine Shed. Costs are:
| |
|
| |
| $10 ages 13+
| |
|
| |
| $5 ages 8-12
| |
|
| |
| 7 and under are free with paid adult
| |
|
| |
| The [https://www.facebook.com/groups/MachineShed/ Machine Shed website].
| |
|
| |
| They're open from 4-8 pm, and the cost is flat per session, so if you feel like arriving early for longer gaming that's certainly fine. They also sell snacks, drinks, and pizza, so you can come straight after work.
| |
|
| |
| They are located at [https://www.google.com/maps/place/11+2nd+St+NE,+Rochester,+MN+55906/@44.0255146,-92.4643205,17z/ 11 2nd St NE], Rochester, MN 55906 in the east portion of the Wausau Homes building (look for the two large garage doors and the entry door).
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Note that the signage is almost non-existent, they have a plain text-only sign on the appropriate door, but no big sign on the building. The parking lot there IS for customers, or you can park on the street. I won't be attending, you'll have to gather around someone else.

| |
|
| |
| ArborWay Labs will present a live demonstration of its automated
| |
| relational technology system called the ART Studio. It is a proof of concept that
| |
| generates database applications automatically using context-sensitive interfaces that
| |
| guide designers through our step-by-step process. In the first half of our presentation,
| |
| we will explain how and why our technology breaks new ground with the RDBMS on the
| |
| white board. Next, we will build a small database application from a 5-table database
| |
| system that will be posted on our server. The audience will be encouraged to browse
| |
| and explore the “100 Best TV Episodes database” on their own personal computing
| |
| devices. This part of the demonstration will be limited to smart phones, tablets, and
| |
| laptops. Stay tuned for the launch of our smart watch database applications in the
| |
| Summer’17.
| |
|
| |
| ArborWay Labs is a Rochester, MN based start-up that aims to change the way today’s
| |
| professionals build and distribute database applications. With ArborWay’s ART Studio,
| |
| database applications are generated by a design activity that automates the production
| |
| of SQL, object-relational mapping, and all code that was previously crafted by hand.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| It is rumored Dennis may be having a birthday (and providing cupcakes), and ArborWay is providing two pizzas.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Also, K-LUG officer elections, and PCIG officer nominations.
