This presentation outlines two main startup/business development models: product development model, customer development model. The right methodology is to use both at the same time with constant feedback and learning.
This document summarizes Week 3 of a Python programming course. It discusses introspection, which allows code to examine and manipulate other code as objects. It covers optional and named function arguments, built-in functions like type and str, and filtering lists with comprehensions. It also explains lambda functions and how and and or work in Python.
The document discusses the location of Legend Tristan at the time of a shooting and the locations of two Border Police crews according to a case file. It also mentions the civilian eye witnesses' version and the Border Police's version.
This document provides an overview of the CS 361 Software Engineering course. It outlines attendance rules, instructors, required coursebooks, and key topics that will be covered including Agile development methodologies, Waterfall methodology, the Agile Manifesto, enabling technologies for Agile development, pair programming, user stories, system metaphors, on-site customers, and more. The document aims to introduce students to the structure and content of the course.
Open source refers to the process by which software is created, not the software itself. The open source process involves voluntary participation where anyone can contribute code freely and choose what tasks to work on. It relies on collaboration between many developers worldwide who are motivated to scratch an itch, avoid reinventing the wheel, solve problems in parallel, and leverage the law of large numbers through continuous beta testing. Documentation and frequent releases are also important aspects of open source development.

Humans have affected the environment in Rome by making it a major tourist destination but have also polluted the Tiber River and defaced buildings with graffiti. Rome is a place where movement of goods like food and people via planes, cars, and scooters takes place and Italian fashion is prominent.

How To Get People to Read Your Emails SoonerKristen Carney
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document provides population change data from the U.S. Census from 1910-2000 expressed as percentages. It shows population changes for the United States, regions of the country, and individual states. The population grew fastest in the West and South between 1910-1950, with growth rates between 13-64%. States like California, Florida, and Texas saw especially large increases, above 30% in several decades.
This presentation was put on by Susan Price from FireCat Studio and myself (Kristen from Cubit) last Friday as part of the Texas Chapter of the American Planning Association's Planning Services Track, Technology and Planning Session in San Antonio.
A synopsis of the session is as follows. Community planning has traditionally been a written report with few images. Is your local government organization effectively using internet to communicate with its citizenry? How do you find suitable services for providing the information and effectively move your plans to the internet? Citizens and public leaders are asking for more information and analysis. The traditional planning report cannot provide this data in a manageable format. There is a need to present this information in geospatial format, data base and provide web access. This session provides a discussion of web-based presentation of planning data and introduction to software that provides analysis of this data, with possible projections based on the data analysis.

Key Takeaways and Future Directions
The insights and feedback gathered from these discussions were invaluable. Here are some of the key takeaways and the steps we are taking to address them:
• Enhanced Resource Accessibility: We are working on a new, user-friendly resource page that will make it easier for members to access training materials and real-world application guides.
• Structured Mentorship Program: Plans are underway to launch a mentorship program that will connect members with experienced professionals for guidance and support.
• Increased Networking Opportunities: Expect to see more frequent and varied networking events, both virtual and in-person, to help you build connections and foster a sense of community.
Moving Forward
We are committed to turning your feedback into actionable solutions that enhance your PMI journey. This workshop was just the beginning. By actively participating and sharing your experiences, you have helped shape the future of our Chapter’s offerings.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the Community Skill Builders Workshop. Your engagement and enthusiasm are what make our Chapter strong and vibrant.
