The Melbourne Developer Meetup is a gathering of local developers in Melbourne. We cover all sorts of development and have a great mix of developers who specialise in Web, DevOps, Android/iPhone.
We keep our meetups fun & work hard to keep the snacks and drinks free. We make sure there are awesome give-aways. Most importantly we focus on providing a great opportunity for our members meet, network and collaborate.
Anyone interested in Development scene is welcome, we have everyone from project managers to design folk attend on a regular basis.
A while back, as we were just starting to make beta builds of Adobe AIR (then Apollo) available, I was responsible for the HTML side of the runtime from an evangelist perspective. Coming from Adobe Flex, I set out to find a comparable UI framework for JavaScript and quickly landed upon ExtJS. After some planning, we got a few of the evangelists, Jack Slocum and Brian Moeskau together in Las Vegas, NV for some training.
Flash forward two years, and I had the opportunity to sit on an expert panel at the very first Ext Developer Conference in Orlando, FL. The framework has grown by leaps and bounds since first being rolled off from the Yahoo UI library. It's very comparable with Flex from an functionality perspective. There were about 200 developers present. I also sat in on a number of sessions, generally around theming and customization of the look and feel of Ext applications.
To be clear, the above picture is of the Orlando Convention Center. The Ext conference was held at the Ritz Carlton (which had a small, but very well stocked humidor I might add). As a Starwood Preferred Guest, I opted to stay at the Westin, which was by the convention center. I got an amazing room for a great deal, and highly recommend the location if you're ever in Orlando. The hotel didn't exist the last time I was there.
While in Orlando I also got together with my sister, Christy, and her boyfriend Jason for dinner at Maggiano's. I hadn't seen Christy since she lived in Baton Rouge, and we visited for her college graduation. Shortly after they moved to Orlando where Jason is working on his degree. We had a really nice meal with a bottle of wine and friendly conversation over everything from the Large Hadron Collider to Mayan civilization.
System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shorcuts -> Application Shortcuts.
Add a new shortcut for "Quit iOS Simulator", and you're done. I use cmd-opt-Q.
I also mapped the "Home" command/button to cmd-Q, because I still press it instinctively after a test run, and this makes it behave reasonably sensibly.

The Kahala Hotel & Resort
5000 Kahala Avenue
Honolulu, Hawaii
In 1959 real estate developer Charlie Pietsch Jr obtained a long term land lease on the 6 1/2 acre hotel site from Bishop Estate. Being a member of Bishop's Trust Executive Committee helped! With Waialae lease in hand, Pietsch puts together a 50/50 deal with his acquaintance Conrad Hilton. Pietsch signed a contract with Hilton International to operate the proposed 10 story hotel.
Pietsch suggested the name The Kahala Hilton because Waialae was too hard to pronounce and spell. Architects were Killingsworth, Brady, and Smith of Long Beach. The groundbreaking of the 368-room Kahala was in 1962 and the resort opened in 1964 with a $26 rate. The construction of the hotel resulted in Waialae Country Club to redesign several of its golf course holes. The resort used the post-and-beam construction on a grand scale that became one of Killingsworth’s hallmarks. More than 100 coconut palms were planted. 18,000 yards of fine sand were barged from Molokai island to pad the beach front. The resort cost $12 million to build. Killingsworth and his firm also designed the Halekulani Hotel, the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Kapalua Bay Hotel.
In 1968 Charles Pietsch sold his half of The Kahala to TWA, the owner of Hilton International, for $16.5 million.
1973 - TWA/Hilton International sells its shares in the hotel to mortgage holder Massachusetts Mutual life, but retains
management contract. Massachusetts Mutual Life sells its shares to MEPC, one of the largest property development
companies in the world at a price of over $20 million. In 1977 William Weinberg initiates a plan to buy the hotel for a price between $26 and $28 million. The contract takes two years to negotiate before closing the deal in May 1977. William Weinberg (WKH Corp.) owned the Kahala Hilton hotel from 1977 to 1993, this investment was most near and dear to his heart.
In 1993, WKH Corp. sold the 6.5 acre resort to an investment group then headed by isle developer Bill Mills after an arbitration panel raised the resort's annual lease rent from $96,000 a year to $5.6 million a year. Bishop Estate had proposed an annual rent of $13.5 million while WKH offered to pay $1.3 million a year. Japan-based Kahala Royal Corp. (Katsumi Iida) and local developer Bill Mills paid an estimated $50 million.
In 1996 the hotel was renamed Kahala Mandarin Oriental after a 40 percent investment by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. The Mandarin Oriental Group took over management, lasting until 2005
In 2005 Kahala Royal Corp., the Hawai'i firm owned by Katsumi Iida, paid $97 million to Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group for its 40 percent stake in the hotel on land leased from the Kamehameha Schools. Trinity Investments of Honolulu bought the hotel for $175 million in 2006 and rebranded it "The Kahala." Trinity is owned by California hotelier Chuck Sweeney and attorney Jon Miho of Honolulu.
In August 2014 - The Kahala Hotel & Resort was sold to Japanese-based Resorttrust Inc. for $300 million, which equates to $887,000 per room, the highest per-room price ever paid for an Oahu hotel property. Resorttrust will use the hotel as part of its time-share network. The new owner plans to retain Landmark Hotels Inc., the Trinity affiliate that took over management of the hotel in March 2006. All employees are expected to be retained by Resorttrust, which will assume the collective bargaining agreement between the hotel and UNITE HERE! Local 5.

Splitting off the Xbox could allow Microsoft to focus on core products like Office and Windows. Over the past 10 years, Microsoft shares have underperformed the broader market -- the game developer mammoth size many have kept management unfocused and limited Microsoft's upside.
Vulcan Capital, Paul Allen's investment firm, has argued for an Xbox spinoff. Allen no longer has any management role at Microsoft, but as a co-founder, his word might have some weight. Likewise, some Wall Street analysts, including those at Nomura, have written about the potential benefits to an Xbox spinoff.
The article goes on to explain why this would be a horrendous calamity for Xbox, and why major consoles need a huge consumer electronics giant behind them. Nintendo, he says, has been held back by its need to make profit from hardware, unlike Sony and Microsoft, which have sold consoles at a loss. But then, Nintendo has usually done pretty nicely without carrying millions in corporate debt, so...
Everything you need to know about World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor | game developer Spot
This is a handy guide to all the new info about the latest (but apparently not final WoW expansion). We covered the announcement on Friday, but this article adds snippets garnered through the rest of Blizzcon. Here's some more on the new garrison addition:
The Garrison is your own personal fortress where you can customize the layout, appearance, and gameplay effects. Same-faction friends in your party can visit your base to check it out and trade resources, and it's a non-instanced area, so you'll be able to see it in the distance as you fly around Draenor.
The biggest addition to the Garrison are followers: You'll be able to collect followers, and "You can also allocate them to complete tasks -- things like crafting or gathering resources, which they'll do whether you're online or offline. "The resources you'll acquire during missions include both existing crafting reagents and Garrison-specific materials. For example, if you assign a follower to a mining mission, game developer could receive ore, but you might also unearth stone, a new kind of resource used to construct and upgrade buildings."

NBR Land Developers,is a young,dynamic and vibrant real estate developer from Bangalore formed to fulfill the aspirations of people to have their own house.
Mobile deep linking (also known as ios developer application deep linking), is the procedure of utilizing a URI to connect to specific pages or locations inside a mobile application. You can use it in a number of ways - via notifications, email, SMS, social networking, etc. - and directs users to relevant content, instead of your app’s desltop.
There's a couple of kinds of mobile deep linking:
Standard deep linking - Directs users to some specific a part of your application making use of your application URI. The disadvantage using these is they is only going to work when the user has got the application placed on their device. Otherwise, they'll show the consumer a mistake page.
Deferred deep linking - Deferred deep links will direct users towards the specific content when the application is installed, and direct users towards the ios developer store listing when the application isn't installed.
Contextual deep linking - These may serve the functions of the aforementioned two kinds of deep linking, but additionally permit more precise tracking and relevancy to users. It's more helpful for developers and users, because these links pass data for an application through install and permit not only better attribution but additionally personalized onboarding.
Why Mobile Deep Linking Matters
Screen Shot 2016-04-12 at 3.51.26 PM
via Branch.io
Will Lindemann of TechCrunch notes that initially, adoption of deep linking was slow since the benefits were unclear standard deep linking only labored if your user had the application installed, therefore it wasn’t high priority on product roadmaps.With deferred and much more lately contextual deep linking, this attitude has altered. Companies now realize the need for mobile deep linking for consumer experience, driving engagement, increasing the user onboarding process, promoting their apps and tracking marketing campaigns.Mobile Application Deep Linking Improves The Consumer Experience
Users can easier access content via deep links, with basically no navigation. Additionally ios developer actually help direct users to a particular screens for your application rather of the house screen thus, if you're linking to something inside your application from social networking, a mobile website, etc., users can navigate seamlessly to that particular content.
The Allure bust developer was supposed to increase the size of one's breasts. The cups went in the obvious location, and a foot pump would be used to produce a vacuum in the cups.
These advantages let us deliver better products more rapidly with foreseeable velocity and less risks.
Sprints
Our initial step with each and every project is creating product definition, which sets the framework for efficient product. Next, we move directly into sprint planning:
Sprint Planning
Before the sprint beginning, each squad conducts a sprint planning session which explains the goals for every sprint, the division from the php developer, along with the features required to complete the sprint. The squad looks at the product backlog and organizes story points which happen to be prioritized during product discovery. The Merchandise Owner looks at the roadmap, determines the hrs needed for every task, and convenience of features to incorporate in the following sprint. We make use of a strategy generally referred to as moving wave planning, which allows us to plan the sprint while using understanding and insight we’ve acquired from previous sprints.
Separating the specifications into incremented epics and tales helps our php developer manage their project with increased control along with a focused goal. Each story point represents a specific product feature(s) which we map on the project roadmap to steer our developers. Each story is believed through the team, permitting transparency using the time-frame for implementation and simply enabling us to trace our progress. With respect to the complexity from the feature, it may be labelled as you story point, or several.
Development
After sprint planning, the squad moves in to the execution from the project. Our team of developers includes a double edged sword: mobile (Android and iOS) who develop native apps and mix-platform frameworks for example Xamarin and Appcelerator. The 2nd are full-stack developers who handle the applying logic: back-finish development for example database development, php developer services, and API, in addition to front-finish UI.
Daily Scrums
At Clearbridge, our squads conduct daily scrums where each team member provides updates of the progress, what must be done next, and methods to challenges that arise.
EVERYTHING BUILDERS & DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES Ought To Know ABOUT php developer AND Online Marketing
construction-web-design-exampleIn ten years a great deal has altered within our business. Smartphones are actually the #1 way visitors reach our and our clients’ websites. Smartphones didn’t exist whenever we started… from tables to HTML 5 & CSS… a great deal has altered. But with regards to the excuses we listen to clients (particularly individuals within the building industry) about why an internet site WON’T work with them… a great deal continues to be same.
Who states a builder or construction company php developer
can’t be engaging and efficient? When crafted using the consumer experience in your mind, coupled with the right planning, a builder website can't simply be good at driving business and residential proprietors to do this - it may downright be the very best tool inside your business’ marketing arsenal. Creating a new web site is, somewhat, much like setting up a custom office or home building. The work must be prepared, identifies and considers all of the stakeholders, defines what's going to result in the project successful and more importantly define and hang expectations.
Different Structures (and Websites) for various Purposes
You may already know an industrial space or business building isn't built in the same manner like a house - there are various rules, codes, and individuals involved. Similarly, an internet site for any construction company shouldn't seem like an internet site for any magazine or perhaps a mother and pop store. For this publish, I'll reveal to you a few of the factors that are unique towards the construction industry and just what to bear in mind to prevent obtaining a cookie-cutter website.
Let’s get began.
WHY YOUR CONSTRUCTION COMPANY Requires A WEBSITE

If there's scope creep or project scope increases but timeline is rigid, budget must end up being the flexible boundary. When more sources are needed to provide and much more features and functionalities are required for that product, budget changes.
Identifying Your Flexible Boundary
A03A0908
While you will find variations in the manner agile application developer is practiced, a foundational aspect is the opportunity to change and react to changes without losing velocity. To do this, versatility is really a necessity.
In a perfect world, you would not have to be flexible promptly, scope, or budget. But neglecting to take into account because you may need to bend as products evolve or new needs arise is extremely dangerous if something does change, there's no contingency plan that enables you to definitely generate a market-ready product.
Enter versatility. You've identified which from the project limitations is flexible, which enables you to definitely adapt without losing velocity. Think about the following scenario:
You've identified that scope is the flexible boundary. You realize featuring and functionalities are crucial for your minimum viable product, and you will find others around the product roadmap which are highly preferred and nice to possess. You prioritize tasks accordingly while using MoSCoW technique (Should have, Must have, Might have, Won’t Have), aiming for the quantity of features/functionalities. But, you've taken into account the truth that should there be issues, application developer are able to reduce but still be capable to deliver your minimum viable product inside the other two limitations. Consequently, if there's a snag, you can now focus sources around the critical facets of the work and save lower priorities for future releases.
“Failing to take into account because application developer may need to bend as products evolve or new needs arise is extremely risky”Within this scenario, if scope wasn’t recognized as an adaptable boundary, the end result will be a sub-componen product with partly completed or incorrectly tested features, delivered inside a hurry and sure defective. Attempting to deliver everything would basically provide the user nothing - except an undesirable consumer experience.

KLJ Developers Pvt. Ltd. is a leading real estate company in India, with many completed and successful projects in Faridabad, Haryana in the likes of KLJ Greens, KLJ Platinum Plus, KLJ Platinum Heights, KLJ Square and many others.
Russell "Rusty" Lyon Jr., Chairman of Westcor Inc. was a principal developer of the Boulders Resort which was valued at $200 million when it opened in 1984. Boulders gets its name, logo and theme from the gigantic granite rocks deposited on this desert land millions of years ago. Westcor also operated the Hotel Westcourt at Metrocenter and Westcourt in the Buttes resort in Tempe. Westcor also developed the Arrowhead Towne Center at Bell and 83rd. Rusty Lyon was the visionary for Scottsdale Fashion Square, Chandler Fashion Square, Biltmore Fashion Park. Rusty Lyon, passed away in 2016.
Bennie Gonzales was the original architect of the Boulders. Gonzales was known for his adobe-style architecture. He also designed the Scottsdale Civic Plaza and the Scottsdale Conference Center. Scottsdale based Allen + Philip Architects completed the design work. The adobe look was achieved with synthetic stucco over masonry and viga and latilla framing. Guy Bussell was the project manager.
Laurence Rockefeller's Rockresorts was the management company chosen to operate the Boulders. A Rockresort company goal is to go to the frontiers of natural beauty and create resorts that lend themselves to the environment. Laurence Rockefeller wanted nature be the star. Rockresorts managed the Boulders from 1984 to 1988. In 1988 Westcor actually placed an unsuccessful bid to buy all of Rockresorts properties.
Walter Blum, who was chef for many years at the Arizona Biltmore, Grand Teton Lodge Company and the Muana Kea Beach Hotel, was the Rockresort's Executive Director of Food at the opening of the Boulders. He designed the menus and hired the opening chefs, who were Duncan Slater and Robert Walton. A Blum quote "It takes longer to become an executive chef than a physician." Some entre's from 1984 included pheasant with plum sauce, chateaubriand, snails with chopped mushrooms and duck breast with papaya sauce. The Boulder's restaurants were The Latilla, The Palo Verde and The Club. The Latilla was permanently shuttered in 2015 and its space converted to a meeting room.
Richard E. Holtzman, president of Rockresorts, appointed his son Richard A. Holtzman Jr. to the General Manager position.
In 1988 The Boulders had a 78% occupancy rate at its 120 casitas during the 9 1/2 months it is open each year.
A Boulders Resort advertisement stated "and on the seventh day, God built a golf course." There are two 18-hole golf courses designed by Jay Morrish built in to the natural rock outcroppings. In 1983 Morrish began putting the North and South Courses together - nine holes at a time. First came the Boulders Nine, followed by the Saguaro Nine. Eventually the Lake Nine was added, and that’s the way things were - 27 holes - until Morrish came back in 1992 to add nine more holes.
By 1994 Rusty Lyon and his partners had formed Carefree Resorts. Partners in Carefree Resorts were Richard Holtzman Jr., William Nassikas, Michael Surguine, David Beckham, Scott Lyon and Del Goehring. Resorts acquired were The Peaks at Telluride in Colorado; Carmel Valley Ranch Resort in California; and The Lodge at Ventana Canyon in Tucson, Arizona.
In 1996 Patriot American Hospitality Inc. bought Carefree Resorts for $210 million. Included in the sale were The Boulders, The Peaks at Telluride in Colorado; Carmel Valley Ranch Resort in California; and The Lodge at Ventana Canyon in Tucson, Arizona.
In January 1998 The Boulders was established as the flagship of the Wyndham International - luxury properties.
Blackstone Real estate Advisors bought the Boulders in 2005 and became a member of the LXR Luxury Resorts Collection. Michael Hoffmann was appointed Managing Director. He served from 2005 to 2013. A graduate of Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne and native of Switzerland, Hoffmann came from Claridge's in London. In 2006 Blackstone gutted and redesigned the interiors of all the guest rooms.
On April 23, 2015 Columbia Sussex acquired The Boulders for a reported $83.3 million and switched the resort's Hilton brand from the Waldorf Astoria to the Curio Collection. General Manager is Howard Harris (former gm at Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa). The resort renovated all 160 of its Casitas by the end of 2015. The bedrooms’ wood-burning fireplaces received an adobe update and each room included a wood-inlay headboard in a traditional Hohokam design.
