Ke kódu se vrátila až mnohem později přes Czechitas a ReactGirls. Dnes pracuje v Mews jako junior software inženýr a v rámci ReactGirls podporuje další holky na jejich cestě do techu.

Vďaka nemu si aplikácie vymieňajú informácie cez API rýchlo a efektívne. Je jednou zo základných znalostí každého developera. Pozrieme sa na jeho štruktúru, základné pravidlá a princípy fungovania. **Natália Rydzá** pracuje jako Solution Developer ve firmě Jigx, která se zaměřuje na vývoj mobilních aplikací.

Že můžeš uspět v IT. Že můžeš realizovat svůj projekt. Že můžeš růst - i když si ještě nejsi jistá. Ukážeme si konkrétní koučovací metody, jak využít své dosavadní zkušenosti, ujasnit si směr a proměnit své nápady v reálné příležitosti. Jana otevřeně nasdílí i svůj příběh - včetně výzev a pádů, které k růstu patří. Na závěr si představíme nadaci Gen for Future a představíme novou spolupráci s komunitou ReactGirls. **Jana Zahrádka Zajfrtová** je zakladatelka Gen for Future a průvodkyně žen na jejich profesní cestě. Ve své práci vytváří prostor, kde ženy objevují, že mohou - růst, měnit směr, realizovat vlastní projekty i ambice, které si dosud možná nedovolily naplno vyslovit. **Chceš přednášet na našem meetupu?** Vyplň nám přihlášku, kterou najdeš na našem webu ([ZDE](https://reactgirls.com/meetups)) a my se ti ozveme.

This session turns to the epicenter of Milton’s poem: temptation, choice, and consequence. In Books IX and X, the Fall finally unfolds, and with it the unraveling of innocence, intimacy, and cosmic order. We’ll read closely and ask difficult questions. What actually changes in Adam and Eve? Is the Fall a tragedy, a liberation, or something more complicated? Where does responsibility truly lie? And how does Milton want us to judge - or not judge - what happens? As always, this is a shared inquiry discussion. No lectures, no summaries. Just careful reading, real questions, and collective thinking around the table. Come ready to wrestle with the text.

Join us for a movie night at **Kino Ponrepo** on **Saturday, March 7th.** We’ll meet at **17:30** ***at the Ponrepo cafe*** before the film starts at **18:00**. I will be waiting at the cafe, so please look me up (reference my meetup photograph). We'll be watching *[Werckmeister Harmonies](https://nfa.cz/cs/30354-werckmeisterovy-harmonie-werckmeister-harmoniak?screening=63442),* a 2000 film by the Hungarian director Béla Tarr that portrays the life of János and his uncle György during the communist era in Hungary, and recounts their journey among helpless citizens as a sinister visiting circus casts a shadow over everyone's lives ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werckmeister_Harmonies)). Come enjoy this screening and stay for a drink and a chat about the film afterwards! The film is shown with English subtitles. **NOTE:** Please buy your own tickets (available online: [tickets](https://goout.net/en/tickets/werckmeisterovy-harmonie/ldxjb/)). (seats not numbered) **Kind request:** If you register to attend but later cannot make it, please update your RSVP in time — thank you!

Open philosophical discussion, thinking together about a topic in a philosophical way. The topic will be chosen by the participants at the beginning of the event. No application, no entrance fee. (But as we are meeting in a normal coffee shop, you have to order at least a cup of coffee or tea.) Experience the joy of real dialogue with other people about the really important topics of life! Follow the white rabbit into the wonderland of philosophy... You find informations about me and the event [here](https://sophonautik.ch/english/). Je nach Gruppe kann die Veranstaltung auch auf [Deutsch](https://sophonautik.ch/deutsch/) abgehalten werden.

Welcome to the international Café Philo in Prague. We meet every first Saturday of the month in the cosy [Café Millème](https://store11473398.ecwid.com) in the center of Prague. We choose a participant randomly, by lottery, who then has the privilege to determine the topic of our discussion. We will reflect, ponder and exchange arguments until our brains are on fire. Philosophy isn't just something for universities, it is a way to open your mind to new thoughts and questions. No application is necessary, there is no entrance fee and there are no prerequisites for participating, except curiosity and respect for other people. We meet from 17:15 until 18:45 to follow together the white rabbit into the wonderland of philosophy... More information about me under this [link](https://sophonautik.ch/english/).

We are an open-hearted, English-speaking tribe of locals, newcomers, and expats. 👉 Join our >>> [PUBLIC WhatsApp group HERE !](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GuBrybKEx0x2aW2BCWGKeM?mode=gi_t) <<< *(Once you arrive in person, ask for a QR code for exclusive access to our LOCAL WhatsApp community)* *Deep Topics. Real Connections.* We skip the superficial and discuss life as it REALLY is. From the chaos of modern dating to the future of society, we dive DEEP into heavy topics. We actively listen and honor diverse worldviews, but leave zero space for BS. For us, genuine connection is the norm, not the exception. *Professionally Hosted* This is the official meetup of The Globe Bookstore, an iconic hub for Prague's English-speaking community since 1993. Unlike impersonal, AI-driven mass events (Hello Amelia..), our community is genuinely curated. We have a Host always present, a Hostess to warmly welcome you, and a Photographer to capture the best moments. Come grab a drink and experience the best of Prague, together!

In a world full of opinions, noise, and quick reactions, we often miss spaces for real dialogue — for slowing down, listening, and connecting with one another. This evening is an invitation to do exactly that. Join us for an open and friendly evening (in English & free of charge) dedicated to Communities - The Role of Religion/Spirituality. We will brainstorm together in an Open Space–style format, where participants choose topics themselves about what we want to discuss from this broad topic - questions to help you get inspired: What is the difference between spirituality and religion? Is religion the apex of community? How do we interact with the idea of spirituality and religion? Afterwards, participants will form small groups to explore the questions and insights around the topics 18:00 – Doors open 18:15 – Introduction & topic selection 18:40 - We start discussions 19:40 - Closing session (sharing activities) 20:00 - Networking & Connect What to expect: A welcoming space for newcomers and regulars alike Be slightly pushed to socialize Open, participant-led small-group discussions on diverse perspectives No expertise required — everyone’s opinion matters! Safe, respectful, and judgment-free conversations More about sharing and reflecting than debating or convincing No pressure to speak — listening is just as valuable Not a lecture, not a debate club, and definitely not intimidating! Feel free to bring some snacks to share! Friendly dogs are welcome! If you are a regular that appreciate us and can help, or a newcomer who enjoyed the evening, and wants to help, we have recently set a Patreon page where you can support us! https://www.patreon.com/cw/EarthSocietyDialogues

**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.** **This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.** Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

Welcome, readers! Our March read is **_The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver._** The story follows Taylor Greer, a young woman from rural Kentucky who leaves home for the West, only to find herself unexpectedly becoming the guardian of an abused Native American toddler named Turtle. In Tucson, Arizona, they form a makeshift family with a diverse group of people, including Guatemalan refugees and a single mother, exploring themes of motherhood, community, belonging, and finding hope in hardship. The story blends humor with serious issues, creating a story about finding family in unexpected places. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
