Join us for a groundbreaking session on how **AI Coding Agents** are changing the game for legacy modernization. We aren't just talking about code completion; we are talking about autonomous agents that can refactor, document, and migrate entire modules with precision. ​**🚀 Session: Modernizing Legacy Projects using AI Coding Agents** ​In this deep-dive session, we will explore how to leverage the latest generation of AI agents (like Cursor, Windsurf, Devin, or custom LLM pipelines) to tackle technical debt that would normally take months to resolve. ​**What We Will Cover:** * ​**Automated Refactoring:** How to use agents to identify code smells, untangle spaghetti code, and implement modern design patterns without breaking functionality. * ​**Language & Framework Migration:** Strategies for using AI to translate old syntax (e.g., Java 8 to 21, jQuery to React) while preserving business logic. * ​**Test Generation:** How to generate comprehensive unit and integration tests for legacy code that currently has zero coverage, ensuring a safe modernization path. * ​**Documentation Recovery:** Using AI to reverse-engineer documentation from undocumented legacy systems. ​**Why Attend?** Legacy modernization doesn't have to be a painful, multi-year slog. Come see how AI agents can act as your force multiplier, turning a daunting migration into a manageable, automated workflow.

**Get Ready for the Mountains (Moderate hike)** Before you confirm your spot, please keep in mind that this isn't just a social stroll. This is a **timed, moderate-pace hike** designed specifically to measure your current cardio fitness and help you track your physical progress over time. ### What to Expect * **The Pace:** We will maintain a consistent, moderate intensity throughout. This session acts as a benchmark for your training. * **Suitability:** If you haven't been active recently or are new to sustained cardio efforts, this pace might be a challenge. We recommend this for those who have a baseline level of fitness and are familiar with the demands of the Bukit Timah terrain. * **The Goal:** Whether you’re training for a specific high-altitude trek or just want to stay "mountain-ready," this hike is about sustaining effort and seeing where you stand. *** ### Logistics * **Meet/End:** Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (Main entrance, big rock) * **Distance:** \~7km * **Duration:** \~2 to 2.5 hours ### Essential Checklist * **Hydration:** Bring a water bottle and ensure it’s topped up before we start. * **Weather Prep:** Waterproof your electronics and bring rain gear (poncho, jacket, or umbrella). We hike in light rain, but safety comes first. * **Gear:** Hiking poles are optional but helpful for the inclines. * **Safety:** In the event of a Category 1 weather warning, I will announce any changes to the plan at least 2 hours prior to the hike. The 'Waitlist' may not go in order as we reserve the right to prioritize the spots for our trip participants who are training for our upcoming treks. Thank you for your understanding! ### Important Liability Notice By joining this training, you acknowledge that you are participating voluntarily and understand the physical risks inherent in this activity. **AU** is not responsible for any injuries, accidents, or health complications that may occur during the training.

## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️ **Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group** What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game? Join us for a joint Azure CBUS and Columbus HashiCorp User Group meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts. In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure. ### What we’ll cover * Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform** * Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure** * Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning) * How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click* * Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time ### Who should attend * Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers * Terraform users (new or experienced) * Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples * Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
