November 20th and 21st.
Beginning Presentation: Drive Business Decisions by Tracking and Analyzing Data from Multiple Data Sources Instantaneously using Excel PowerPivot
Presenter: Caren Grandgenett
Description: Demonstration of Microsoft Excel PowerPivot that allows instantaneous collection, management and analysis of data from various sources; including Excel, Access and any number of other sources.
Caren Grandgenett is a database development and training specialist, with expertise that empowers clients to track customers, competitors and business metrics. Clients include Cherub Medical Supplies, Tall Grass Freight, and Johnson County Community College
Advanced Presentation: Creating a custom function in Access
Presenter: Lisa Friedrichsen
Description: Have you ever needed to calculate a bonus, stipend, commission, or any other value for your employees based on your company’s unique policies and business needs? If so, you’re looking at an excellent candidate for an Access custom function to help you do the work.
A custom function is a saved formula that allows you to quickly, consistently, and accurately calculate a result. A custom function defines a unique formula that you create in a VBA module. Once the custom function is created it can be used over and over again in queries, forms, and report.
In this example we’ll create a custom function called STIPEND. The STIPEND function will return a value of $0, $250, or $50 based on several conditions including the enrollments and number of sections an instructor teaches over the course of the academic year.
By defining STIPEND once as a custom function, we will greatly simplify every query, form, and report that needs to calculate stipend values.
Lisa Friedrichsen is a professor of database and Web technologies at JCCC.

A festival celebrating the impact & application of data.
BDKC (Big Data - Kansas City) is part of the global crowd-sourced Big Data Festival going on November 20-21, 2013. The Big Data Festival (BDF) unites the data community around the world.
Kansas City has partnered with major cities to create a global platform for big data enthusiasts. With over 25,000 attendees, you can expect a think-tank of our data community including: scientists, visualizers, architects, researchers, engineers, experts, beginners, professors and learners. Our focus will be the challenges and opportunities presented by the growth of Big Data.
Coderetreat is a day-long, intensive practice event, focusing on the fundamentals of software development and design. By providing developers the opportunity to take part in focused practice, away from the pressures of 'getting things done', the coderetreat format has proven itself to be a highly effective means of skill improvement. Practicing the basic principles of modular and object-oriented design, developers can improve their ability to write code that minimizes the cost of change over time.Details on the website: http://coderetreat.org/
The coderetreat day consists of 5-6 sessions, each session's learnings building upon previous sessions. The morning focuses on becoming comfortable with the problem domain, breaking old habits and beginning focused self-discovery. The afternoon pushes the envelope by challenging pairs to stretch their skills and understanding of abstractions, modular design and test-driven development.
We do have a last minute substitution.
