NSLondon Apple Logo Run
Event details coming soon! 🏃
This will be a run around Mayfair/Marylebone inspired by Apple Fitness+ Trainer Cory Wharton-Malcolm who (in a post on X shared by Joz) ran the same area making the form of the Apple logo outline on Strava. We'll be looking to do something similar but as a group running at a pace where we don't drop anyone (unless enough people turn up to split into groups).
Please bring appropriate clothing and footwear, and note this may be for more experienced members of the community that are already able to run.
We’d love to see first-timers! All attendees must follow our [code of conduct](https://nslondon.com/coc).
Probably meet for 11am somewhere on route, then starting maybe 5/10 mins later. The run might take us an hour depending on how busy some areas are, for example Oxford Street (!) and we're not expecting any personal bests either. We'll probably hang around for a coffee at a nearby coffee shop – feel free to attend for this portion, only the run, or both! More details coming soon.
The weather seems favourable so far – high of 12°C and low of 5°C with Cloudy conditions, but this could change without warning.
This is Joz's post: [https://x.com/gregjoz/status/2033543999240200246](https://x.com/gregjoz/status/2033543999240200246)

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
