Hey folks!
Here we go again — and this time, it’s our 6th SKG-JS Meetup!
We’re excited to welcome you back for another evening of learning, sharing, and meeting both familiar and new faces. The meetup will take place on **December 16th, 2025** at **19:00** sharp at OKThess.
As always, we’ve lined up two great talks from amazing speakers in our community.

**Talk 1: Angular: Build with AI**
Speaker: [Konstantinos Ziazios](https://gr.linkedin.com/in/ziaziosk), Microsoft
AI is rapidly transforming how developers build modern applications. In this talk, Konstantinos will show how Angular developers can develop faster and more efficiently using AI, covering:

* Angular-focused LLM prompts
* Setting up an AI-powered IDE workflow
* Design patterns and best practices for AI-assisted development

If you’re curious about boosting your Angular productivity with AI, this is the perfect session.

**Talk 2: Virtual DOM vs Signals: Two Roads to Reactivity**
Speaker: [Savvas Papageorgiadis](https://gr.linkedin.com/in/papsavas), WeAre8
Reactivity is central to every modern UI framework, but how that reactivity is achieved differs greatly. Savvas will dive into the two leading paradigms:

* Virtual DOM diffing (React)
* Fine-grained signals (Solid.js)

We’ll explore:

* How each model handles state and updates
* Their performance trade-offs
* How the React Compiler optimizes React’s model
* Why mixing these paradigms is inherently challenging and can introduce complexity

Looking forward to seeing you all there,
The SKG-JS Meetup Crew
