We'll explore everything new in Java 26!
**Java-UIs modernisieren ohne JavaScript — Webswing & webforJ in der Praxis / Stephan Wald**
Ihr habt eine Swing-Anwendung. Oder Eclipse RCP. Oder Oracle Forms. Das Management will sie „im Browser". Der Reflex: React-Frontend, REST-APIs, JavaScript-Entwickler einstellen, zwei Stacks pflegen. Aber muss das sein?
Es gibt inzwischen mehrere Java-native Ansätze für Web-UIs — ihr kennt vermutlich einige davon aus früheren Meetups. Die meisten setzen voraus, dass ihr eure UI von Grund auf neu schreibt und bestehenden Code hinter REST-APIs kapselt. Unser Ansatz ist ein anderer: Wir zeigen einen **zweistufigen Migrationspfad**, der mit der unveränderten Bestandsanwendung im Browser startet und die Modernisierung dann Bildschirm für Bildschirm vorantreibt — ohne den Betrieb zu unterbrechen und ohne eine zweite Technologie einzuführen.
Im ersten Schritt kommt **Webswing** zum Einsatz — eine Laufzeitumgebung, die Java-Desktop-Anwendungen (Swing, JavaFX, SWT, Eclipse RCP) unverändert im Browser bereitstellt, indem sie auf Toolkit-Ebene in die AWT-Pipeline eingreift und das Rendering über HTML5 Canvas und WebSocket an den Client streamt. Im zweiten Schritt zeigen wir **webforJ** — ein Open-Source-Framework (Apache 2.0), mit dem moderne Web-UIs komponentenbasiert in purem Java entstehen: Routing, Data Binding, responsive Layouts, Spring-Boot-Integration — ohne eine Zeile JavaScript.
Der technische Kern des Abends:
* **Webswing unter der Haube:** Wie die Custom-`Toolkit`-Implementierung funktioniert, was auf Server- vs. Client-Seite passiert, und wo die Latenz-Grenzen liegen
* **webforJ-Architektur:** Server-seitiges Component Model auf Basis von DWC (Dynamic Web Client) Web Components, Event-Handling im Vergleich zum Swing-Listener-Modell, Layout-System (`FlexLayout` vs. `BorderLayout`)
* **`WebswingConnector`:** Die Integrationsbrücke — wie eine webforJ-Anwendung eine Webswing-Session einbettet und bidirektionale Kommunikation zwischen Legacy-Swing-Code und modernem UI ermöglicht
* **Live-Code:** Vom minimalen webforJ-Hello-World bis zur Hybrid-App mit eingebettetem Swing-Panel — wir bauen es vor euren Augen
* **Ehrliche Trade-offs:** Wann dieser Ansatz passt, wann nicht — und was er im Vergleich zu einem reinen UI-Framework-Wechsel bringt und kostet
Wir bringen einen Praxisbericht mit: Ein niederländischer ERP-Anbieter hat mit einem kleinen Team in vier Monaten die ersten Web-Module produktiv geschaltet — ohne JavaScript-Expertise im Haus.

The Crazy C++ Quiz
📢 Main event starts at 18:30 CET
René has a passion for collecting unusual code constructs and presenting them anonymously to an interested audience. Any resemblance to existing code is purely coincidental 🤭.
There will be plenty of opportunities to puzzle over the quirks of C++, whether you are an experienced developer or just curious about the language. The challenges might drive you crazy if you tackle them alone, but working together as a group, you just might make it through. The main goal is to enjoy the challenge, not take things too seriously, and have some fun along the way.
🧠 All you need is your brain - no notebooks needed.
🪙 We appreciate any **voluntary donations** on-site.
⏱️ Arrive early for pre-socializing—simple snacks and drinks will be provided.
🍕 After the event, we will relocate to a pizzeria (at your own expense).

Tuesday Padel (bi-weekly)
Join us for our regular Tuesday evening playing Padel.
**How we play**
Intermediate and Advanced Players are welcome (no beginners on Tuesday, please join us on Friday or Sunday instead).
Number of courts depends on the number of players
* 4-7 players: one court
* 8-11 players: two courts
* 12-15 players: three courts
Ideally, 6, 10 or 14 players are attending
* Then you play two matches in a row and then take a break
* A match is played in a single set. First team reaching four games wins the match. We play a minimum of six games per set (means even after 4:0 you still play two more games in this set)
If an odd number of players are attending, we adapt to the situation
Teams are mixed all the time. So you will play with/against different players during the event
* Teams are put together based on their skill level
* We focus on having balanced teams
**Price**
* 10 € for 1h
* 17 € for 2h
* If you need a racket, you can rent it from us for 2 € (limited number available). Otherwise you can always rent from the venue for 5 €
* We use the money to cover the courts rent, base-subscription for renting, providing balls and rackets
**Cancellation**
* Please cancel at least 4h before the event. Otherwise you have to pay the fee for one hour
* We understand that sometimes unexpected things can come up. However, not showing up and failing to let us know is considered disrespectful and goes against our community spirit. Uncommented no-shows may result in being excluded from future events.
**Other information**
* The venue has courts **outdoor only**. Dress accordingly to the weather
* We are respectful and warm with each other. Our cultural and professional background is diverse
* The hosts or regular players, can ask misbehaving players to step out from the court, in order to maintain the good vibes
* The hosts and regular players are entitled to send players different courts to have balanced teams
* Most of the time we go on a drink after the event at the venue's restaurant. You're welcome to join us
**Important**
* You are playing on your own risk
* Playing competitive is allowed (Smashing balls, hitting balls close to opponent player etc.)
* Playing friendly is our main goal
* Please announce the hosts, and/or the players on your court, if you have some injuries or specific conditions
* Be welcome with newcomers
Execution with Style — Vienna Co-Working Lab
Welcome to **Execution with Style**, a weekly co-working lab for freelancers, creators, founders, and builders who want structure, accountability, and real momentum. We combine **deep focus + small-group pressure + a playful self-expression twist**. When we wear something unusual, we step outside our normal identity.
That’s when creativity becomes easier.
📲 **Want reminders or to connect with others before/after?**
Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6), Keep contact via [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/)
**Execution with Style** 👗🧥✨
Each session, you’re invited to wear **clothes that you don’t normally wear**.
Something expressive.
Something bold.
Something unusual.
**Examples:**
* the jacket that never leaves your closet
* something colorful or dramatic
* something funny / absurd
* something you “could never pull off”… until today
No pressure — but if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it.
**Self-expression + execution = momentum.**
**Location**
* Our weekly co-working sessions take place at creative, cozy hotel lobby **Jaz in the City in central Vienna**.
* Regular participants may also be privately invited to occasional **Skyscraper Secret Sessions** — spontaneous small-group co-working gatherings at a private skyline location with **free tea & coffee**, plus **gym and shower access**.
* These special sessions are **invitation-only** and shared privately with regular members of the community.
🕐 **Time**: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM Every Tuesday
📍 **Location**: Jaz in the City – Ground Floor Lounge: Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna, Austria
💻 **Bring**: Your laptop, journal, creative tools, or anything you’ve been procrastinating on
🌿 **Hosted by**: NoCrastination. See you in front of the ground floor bar ✨ you will see us sitting with our laptops
☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! Coffee price: Espresso: €3.5, Americano: €4.5, Latte: €5.5.
Donations optional.
**🪑Seating information:**
* If this is your first time joining us, please look for **Joanna Liu** when you arrive at the **Ground Floor Bar** (not at the hotel reception).
* There is a **long table with 12 seats** for those joining the **peer accountability session** — please arrive on time if you’d like to sit here.
* There are also **round tables nearby** for anyone who prefers a more flexible setup.
* If you’d like to **work independently (without the Pomodoro arrangement)** but still be part of the group energy, just let Joanna know — we’ll make sure you’re comfortably included. 💛
🌱 **What to Expect**
* **Drop in anytime** between **1:00–5:00 PM** — stay for a bit or settle in for the whole session
* **Clarify your goals**: write down your measurable tasks for the day on a Post-it when you arrive
* **Two spaces**: one for quiet focus, one for casual conversation. After each focus session, if you’re still in the flow, feel free to remain seated — no need to move. If you're up for a chat, join others in the social area for a relaxed break.
* **Social start**: from **1:00 to 1:28 PM**, we mingle and get to know each other; our first focus session begins at **1:30 PM**
* **Gentle structure**: we begin with a soft check-in and intention round
* **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45-minute focus blocks followed by 15-minute social breaks. If 45 minutes feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20-minute focus sessions with a short 5-minute reset in between. You’ll need to self-regulate these shorter cycles, just tune into your own flow and rejoin when ready.
* **Quiet companionship**: no pressure to talk during focus time — just shared presence and support
* **Welcoming space**: we meet in the creative, cozy lobby of the **Jaz in the City**
💡 **New to Pomodoro?** Don’t worry — we’ll guide you gently. No apps or timers needed.
**Who This Is For**
You’ll enjoy this if you:
* want real accountability (not just a desk)
* have a project, goal, or task you’ve been procrastinating on
* like focused work blocks with a supportive vibe
* are building something (job search, freelancing, creative work, admin, studying, side project, etc.)
💬 Why Join?
* Beat procrastination with gentle accountability
* Reclaim your momentum without doing it alone
* Enjoy a change of scenery that boosts your focus
**Group Size:**
This is designed as a **small execution lab** (limited spots) to keep the energy focused and the accountability real.
Bring your project. Bring your presence. Let’s work side-by-side. 💚

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

Connected Westerville Night of Networking!
**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy*
You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life.
The problem isn't you. It's the format.
Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built.
Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else.
*That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real.
There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking.
Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum.
This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic.
You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation.
**April 14th. RSVP now.**
**When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
