What we’re about
Join our community-driven meetup in Vienna about everything in and around complex Java software projects. We strongly believe that exchanging ideas, discussing challenges, and exploring new features are key to progress as software engineers and enabling project success. Our discussions aren't limited to Java—we also dive into adjacent topics like software architecture, event-driven systems, or cloud infrastructure. Held at different local venues, our events prioritize open exchange and learning over being always right. All levels are welcome!

Avraham Poupko is a systems architect that spent the last 25 years analysing, modeling and designing software as well as teaching systems thinking and system design. Avrahams experience varies from working with small startups that have one product, to large enterprises that create very complex domains and systems. Avraham is currently leading a multi disciplined team that is designing the next generation data center.In his talk, he will explore with the audience the implications of using AI to generate programming code such as Python or C++. Lets get together for an experimental and interactive exploration of AI's impact on software development. We'll dive into the fascinating intersection of natural language and programming, examining why LLMs excel at Python but struggle with assembly. Through curated discussion, we'll investigate how AI is reshaping programming practices and potentially influencing future programming language design.

The Model Context Protocol: What? How? Why? When?🗣️ Marián Varga
What Kotlin-skeptic Java developers and teams are missing out on🧑💻 Speakers:
Martin Treiber is an IT professional with over 25 years of experience, a company founder, and a part-time farmer.Learn what the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is and why it's becoming increasingly important for the effective use of Large Language Models (LLMs).
Marián Varga is a freelance software engineer with over 20 years of professional experience. In his work he connects software systems as well as the people involved. He is a co-author of an upcoming book Mastering RESTful web services with Java, see more at love2integrate.com.
His talk will show how Java developers and Java teams can benefit from adding Kotlin to their tool set in various ways, increasing the code quality and developer happiness. I will tell you about different ways to combine your Java code and skills with Kotlin. Besides considering the usage of Kotlin, the Java developers will learn why it's important to pay more attention to new versions of Java. If you already like Kotlin, but everyone around you prefers Java only, this talk will give you arguments to try to change their mind.
