Peter Kranz: Enter the Java Dungeon - Eine interaktive Reise durch Java 9-26
Hallo liebe Java User Group Mitglieder!
Diesmal haben wir Peter Kranz mit seinem interaktiven Talk zu den unterschiedlichen Java-Versionen zu Gast.
Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen (virtuell oder vor Ort).
* 18:00 Uhr: Einlass
* 18:30 Uhr: Talk
* ab 19:30: Ausklang des Abends
Dank an [adesso](https://www.adesso.de/de/unternehmen/standorte/nuernberg.jsp) fĂźr Location, Bier und Pizza!
\-\-\-
Java entwickelt sich seit Version 9 im Halbjahresrhythmus weiter â mit Records, Pattern Matching, Virtual Threads und vielen weiteren Features. Doch wer hat schon die Zeit, 17 Releases im Detail zu verfolgen? Die FĂźlle an Neuerungen ist enorm, und je nach Projekt und Interesse sind ganz unterschiedliche Features relevant. Ein klassischer Vortrag kann hier nur einen starren Pfad durch die Feature-Landschaft bieten.
Dieser Talk geht einen anderen Weg: als interaktiver Dungeon Crawler. Das Publikum entscheidet gemeinsam, welchen Themenkomplex es als Nächstes erkunden will â Moderne Sprach-Features, Concurrency, APIs, JVM-Tooling oder experimentelle Preview-Features. Jede Entscheidung fĂźhrt tiefer in den Dungeon und schaltet neue Level frei. So entsteht bei jedem Vortrag ein einzigartiger Pfad durch die Java-Versionen 9 bis 26.
Wie in einem echten Dungeon Crawler sammelt das Publikum dabei XP und wird am Ende einer Klasse zugeordnet â vom Warrior mit Fokus auf Performance bis zum Wizard der Sprach-Features. Ob Einsteiger:in oder erfahrene:r Entwickler:in: Jede Session liefert praxisnahe Einblicke in genau die Java-Features, die das Publikum am meisten interessieren. Kein Vortrag gleicht dem anderen â und der einzige Weg, alles zu sehen, ist wiederzukommen.

Bi-Weekly Co-Working in Prague â Get It Done Together (3â6PM)
**You start, but don't finish. We help you get it done.**
Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6), Keep contact via [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/)
You just havenât been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. Youâre not alone.
Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **Thatâs where we are.**
At NoCrastination, we donât meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently.
**What this really is**
This is a space for people who are:
* building something
* figuring things out
* or simply trying to stay on track
**without doing it alone**
You donât need to be an entrepreneur. You just need something you want to move forward.
**What happens here**
You bring something youâve been putting off. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. Thatâs it. And thatâs everything.
**Why people keep coming back**
* âI finally follow through on what I planâ
* âI leave with real progress every timeâ
đ **Time**: 3:00 PM â 6:00 PM
đ **Location**: **Safe Space Bookstore,** U boĹžĂch bojovnĂkĹŻ 606/3, Prague 3 Ĺ˝iĹžkov ¡ Prague, cz
đť **Bring**: Your laptop, journal, creative tools, or anything youâve been procrastinating on
đż **Hosted by**: NoCrastination.
â Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces!
Donations optional.
**đŞSeating information:**
* If this is your first time joining us, please look for **Fernando Goncalves** when you arrive
* If youâd like to **work independently (without the Pomodoro arrangement)** but still be part of the group energy, just let Fernando know â weâll make sure youâre comfortably included. đ
đą **What to Expect**
* **Drop in anytime** between **3:00â6:00 PM** â stay for a bit or settle in for the whole session
* **Clarify your goals**: write down your measurable tasks for the day on a Post-it when you arrive
* **Two spaces**: one for quiet focus, one for casual conversation. After each focus session, if youâre still in the flow, feel free to remain seated â no need to move. If you're up for a chat, join others in the social area for a relaxed break.
* **Social start**: from **3:00 to 3:30 PM**, we mingle and get to know each other; our first focus session begins at **3:30 PM**
* **Gentle structure**: we begin with a soft check-in and intention round
* **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45-minute focus blocks followed by 15-minute social breaks. If 45 minutes feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20-minute focus sessions with a short 5-minute reset in between. Youâll need to self-regulate these shorter cycles, just tune into your own flow and rejoin when ready.
* **Quiet companionship**: no pressure to talk during focus time â just shared presence and support
* **Welcoming space**: we meet in the creative, cozy lobby of the **Safe Space Bookstore**
**This space is for you ifâŚ**
* You keep starting but donât finish
* You work alone and feel stuck
* You want structure without pressure
* You donât want to do this alone anymore
**What youâll get**
Not motivation. Not a productivity hack.
**Youâll get: ONE THING DONE.**
And then you come back, and do it again.
**This is how it starts**
You donât need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing.
Finish it. Weâll be there.
**Stay connected**

Philosophical seminar: How to live - according to thinkers and religions
This open seminar by Albert Hoffmann explores how different people and traditions have approached the question, âHow should we live?â
We will look at ideas from philosophers, thinkers, and religious traditions and explore different answers from various cultures and time periods.
The seminar is intended as an invitation to reflection rather than a definitive answer.

Let me know when you are next to it, and Iâll pick you up. If youâre anywhere else and have trouble finding it, just let me know.

Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups!

Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.
### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**
Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether youâre seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.
## **Why Join?**
* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** â Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** â Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** â Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.
## **The Ideal Group Leader**
The ideal group leader
* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.
* Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind.

* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.
We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.
### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**
Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. Itâs a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
