Join us for the very first **Symfony/PHP Barcelona meetup**, bringing together developers passionate about modern PHP and the Symfony framework! **Agenda** 18:00 🏢 Doors open 18:30 👋 Introduction from organizers 18:55 💬 Build Applications that Welcome Change 19:30 🍕Food & Drinks *provided for all attendees* 20:00 💬 Building on top of Symfony AI 20:35 🌐 Networking and socializing You can expect a relaxed evening with engaging talks, friendly faces, and lots of Symfony/PHP chatter. 🎤 **Talks:** * **“Build Applications that Welcome Change”** Alexander M. Turek Software changes. Dependencies evolve. New requirements appear. A Symfony application that can adapt to these shifts without major disruption gains a powerful long-term advantage. This talk explores architectural choices that allow core business logic to remain stable while the surrounding technology continues to evolve, leading to calmer upgrades, safer refactoring, and systems built for the long run. Change is inevitable. Pain doesn’t have to be. * **“Building on top of Symfony AI”** Christopher Hertel In this talk Christopher will explain and demo how you can build AI-powered features in your existing Symfony stack. We will dive into the three main components of the initiative and get to know some best practices on how to use them. Whether you’re an experienced Symfony user, new to PHP frameworks, or just curious about the community, you are welcome! 💚

Este taller propone trabajar la relación entre política y forma en la literatura latinoamericana a partir de la lectura de fragmentos de Valeria Luiselli, Leila Guerriero, Alejandro Zambra, Elena Poniatowska y César Aira, junto con episodios del podcast 'Las Raras' y el desfile de Moschino sobre Argentina a cargo de Adrian Appiolaza. El eje estará puesto en cómo cada material organiza la experiencia a través de decisiones formales: la construcción de la voz, el uso del archivo, la disposición del relato, el montaje y el lugar desde donde se habla, para pensar la política no como tema sino como modo de configurar lo visible y lo decible. La propuesta incluye un trabajo sostenido de escritura: se ensayarán variaciones de una misma escena con cambios de voz y focalización, reescrituras a partir de materiales documentales, ejercicios de montaje entre registros distintos (crónica, testimonio, ficción), y prácticas que exploren el recorte, la omisión y la disposición del texto en la página. Se buscará que cada participante desarrolle una serie breve en la que ponga a prueba estos procedimientos, atendiendo a cómo la forma produce sentido y modifica la posición del lector.

We’ll have access to their private room, and you’ll be able to pay your tab with Bitcoin. Join us for a fun and relaxed social event! Enjoy delicious food and drinks as we chat about the latest news in the Bitcoin world. Everyone is welcome, whether you're looking for guidance, have questions, or just want to meet like-minded people.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
