COURS - Les Mains, en détail
En mars, on fait des pieds et des mains! Ces fameuses zones d'interface avec le monde sont faites pour s'y adapter, et prennent donc d'innombrables formes, qui les rendent notoirement difficiles à dessiner et à imaginer.
Sur cette deuxième séance, nous explorerons les différentes mesures, les éléments, et la construction de cet outil polymorphe.
On se retrouve à 19h30, mais qui veut peut arriver au local à partir de 19h pour grignoter, discuter!
Il y aura du thé et du café pour qui veut, il faut retirer ses chaussures car c'est une salle de danse (donc les bottes à lacets attendront une autre soirée).
Paiement en espèces (25€), sur place, et il y aura un chapeau pour qui veut donner un peu plus au modèle! Le matériel n'est pas fourni.
Hâte de vous y voir! 🙂

Java Bootcamp: The Grand Finale Hack Hour
The **Women Coding Community (WCC)** is wrapping up our Java Bootcamp with a high-energy, hands-on **Hack Hour** session. This isn't just a presentation—it's a community coding event where we build the future of our platform together.
***The Theme: "Building for the Community"***
We are focusing on practical Java projects that directly support the **Women Coding Community** mission. Whether you are a beginner focusing on core Java or an intermediate developer ready for Spring Boot, we have a path for you.
**Choose your approach:**
**\- The Architect:** Come with a specific Java project idea and your initial implementation. Use this time to pair program with mentors to solve bugs or add features.
**\- The Catalyst:** Just bring an idea! Connect with other attendees, form a team on the spot, and spend the evening coding a prototype with us.
***AI Tools in Practice: Accelerate Your Java Development***
We'll explore how AI assistants can accelerate your Java learning and development. Live demos and discussion covering:
• Using Claude, ChatGPT, and JetBrains AI for debugging and code generation.
• Best practices for prompting AI when learning a new language
• What to trust, what to verify, and when to push back on AI suggestions
• Comparing tool strengths for different Java use case
***Project Inspiration***
All ideas are centered around enhancing the **WCC ecosystem**. Pick a level that challenges you:
**Basic: Core Java & CLI Tools**
* **WCC Member Directory:** Build a command-line tool to manage member profiles (name, skills, location) using Java Collections and File I/O.
* **Event Attendance Tracker:** Create a system to track check-ins for our meetups using the Java Date/Time API.
* **Coding Challenge Generator:** Develop a tool that randomly selects Java exercises for members to practice.
**Intermediate: Spring Boot & APIs**
* **WCC Job Board:** Create a REST API for members to post and filter tech opportunities.
* **Community Blog Platform:** Build a backend that supports Markdown posts and author profiles for WCC contributors.
* **Skill-Tracking Dashboard:** Develop a platform for members to track their learning journey and visualize progress.
*Mentors will be on hand throughout the evening to guide you through the vibe coding process, answer questions, and help you get unstuck.*
**To join register here: [Java Bootcamp Form](https://forms.gle/kw7fgyvwzwxsZPFX7)**
**Schedule — March 13th, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM (London Time)**
**•** **AI Tools Showcase:** Claude vs. ChatGPT vs. JetBrains AI. (6:00 PM - 6:30 PM)
• **HACK HOUR:** Pair programming and feature building with mentors. (6:30PM - 8:40PM)
• **Closing & Networking** (8:40 PM - 9:00 PM)

Il y en a pour tous les goûts, quelle que soit votre expérience des jeux de société.
Notre principal objectif, se faire plaisir en se réunissant autour d'un jeu.
La première venue est bien entendue gratuite, ensuite la participation ponctuelle à une soirée est de 2€, la cotisation annuelle est de 30€.
★ Échange de langues latines 🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹 ★

L'adresse de l'événement ne sera partagée qu'avec ceux qui possèdent une carte de membre annuelle valide.

Rencontre autour d'un café
**French version**
Hey,
Bienvenu pour cette première réunion!
Cette rencontre aura lieu dans un café près de Châtelet afin que tout le monde puisse s'y rendre facilement.
Nous commencerons par une table ronde afin d'apprendre à mieux nous connaître. Je pense que cela nous aidera également à déterminer les sujets que nous pourrions aborder ce jour-là en fonction des présentations. N'hésitez pas à mentionner un sujet si vous souhaitez aborder un point en particulier.
Nous profiterons de cette première session pour déterminer le format de nos futures réunions. Est-il préférable de garder une conversation informelle sans préparation préalable ou vaut-il mieux choisir un sujet en se basant sur la lecture d'une partie d'un livre ou article avant chaque réunion?
Hate de vous voir lors de ce premier café :)
Jacques
**English version**
Hey,
Nice to see you there!
This first meeting will be set in a cafe next to Chatelet to make it easy for everyone to access the place.
We'll start with a round table to get to know a bit more about everyone. I think also it will help to see what topic we could bring up for that day based on the presentation. Feel free to mention a topic if there is something you specifically want to bring up.
We'll use also this first session as a way to determine the future format of our meeting. Do we want to keep conversation casual with no early preparation or do we want to read books and use chapters as a way to bring every time a different topic.
Hoping to see you at the cafe :)

Life Drawing Session 445 (female) GUY MÔQUET - Long pose
Join us for a long pose workshop with a female model, led by figurative artist John Kelly. The session consists of 45 minutes of drawing or painting, followed by a 15-minute break, and then another 45 minutes with the same pose. John will be present throughout the entire session to offer individual guidance on the principles of drawing and painting from life. If you prefer a more self-directed approach, you are welcome to work independently at any time.
The workshop is suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists. It offers a supportive environment to develop your artistic style while exploring different aspects of academic drawing or painting, experimenting with new techniques, or refining compositional ideas. It's designed to guide your exploration of the human form through an anatomical lens while capturing the model's emotional presence.
As always, posing for you are professional fine art models affiliated with the Beaux-Arts de Paris and other Parisian life drawing ateliers. Please bring your preferred art materials.
All media are allowed, including pastels, ink, watercolor, or paint. If you need additional advice on materials, such as oil paints or watercolor paper, please don’t hesitate to contact John directly at jfkellydesign@gmail.com or send us a message. This session doesn't provide a basic drawing materials set. Once again, please remember to bring your own art supplies.
**About John Kelly**
Born in Paris and raised in New York, John studied at the School of Visual Arts before pursuing a career as an art director and oil painter. He employs traditional oil painting methods while also painting *alla prima*. Influenced by Balthus, Degas, and traditional Japanese prints, his figurative work explores the psychology of the model and the viewer’s gaze. For more details, visit John’s website: johnkellyart.com.
We kindly ask everyone to RSVP to secure their spot. If you haven't booked, we reserve the right to deny participation if the session is full. For any questions about a specific session, feel free to contact us via Meetup or email your host / organizer at [deni@lifedrawingmontmartre.com](http://deni@lifedrawingmontmartre.com/) or [maria@lifedrawingmontmartre.com](http://maria@lifedrawingmontmartre.com/)
