Agenda: 18:00 Doors Open 18:20 Intro/Sponsor Welcome 18:30 Doors Closed! (the reception on the ground floor will not be served anymore.. come early!) 18:30 **Here we go again: Java26 / Dominik Dorn** 19:30 Break, Food, Drinks 19:55 Raffle 20:00 **Java-UIs modernisieren ohne JavaScript — Webswing & webforJ in der Praxis / Stephan Wald** 21:00 Networking Talk 1: **Here we go again: Java 26** 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. **About the Speaker** Stephan Wald entwickelt seit über 35 Jahren Enterprise-Software, seit über 20 Jahren in Java. Seine Erfahrung umfasst C++, C#, mehrere Business-Basic-Dialekte sowie heute primär Java. Als Head of Development und Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung bei BASIS International Ltd. (Albuquerque, USA) verantwortet er die Entwicklung des webforJ-Frameworks, eines Single-Stack-UI-Frameworks für geschäftskritische Java- und Kotlin-Anwendungen in mittelständischen und großen Unternehmen weltweit. Parallel baut er mit [SkillsPilot.de](http://skillspilot.de/) eine KI-gestützte SaaS-Plattform im HR-Consulting, die mit namhaften deutschen Unternehmen mit bis zu 20.000 Mitarbeitenden wächst. Speaker auf der JavaOne 2026.

Come write with us at Cafe Pierre every Sunday at 18:00-20:00! A message from Shut Up & Write: "Shut Up & Write hosts free, in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. Our goal is to ensure that every writer—regardless of genre or skill level—has access to the resources, community, and accountability that they need to be successful in their personal writing goals." And what this looks like at our event: We chat and give short introductions to what we are working on at 18:00, then start writing at 18:15. Though we try to start on dot, being late isn't a problem—just find a spot and get to work! We write until 20:00 and then discuss how our writing went. From fiction to non-fiction, academic papers to poetry, applications to work-related writing—anything goes! Nothing is needed except for you to bring whatever is need to get stuff done, i.e. laptop, headphones, pen and paper, and so on. Optional socialising may happen before 18:00 and after 20:00, or you may choose to use this time to get some more done! Please do order something from the café (drink, meal, dessert, etc.) so as to keep us in their good graces!

📢 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).

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
