Hello, Kotlin enthusiasts! Our next NLKUG meetup is happening on March 19th at the adesso Office, located at Wonderwoods, Jaarbeursboulevard 294, 3521BC Utrecht! Join us for an evening filled with 2 great talks, networking, and a lively panel discussion on some of the hottest topics in the Kotlin community. This event is RSVP-only, and seats are limited to 60 attendees, so be sure to secure your spot early. You can also let us know if you have any dietary preferences when you RSVP. This meetup is a collaboration between adesso, bol and Flock. bringing together some of the best minds in the industry. A big thank you to our fantastic partners for making this event possible! **📍 Location:** adesso Office, Wonderwoods, Jaarbeursboulevard 294, 3521BC Utrecht **🕒 Timeline:** 17:00 – Doors open 17:30 – Dinner 🍕 18:25 – Welcome 🎙️ 18:30 - Akif: Pair Programming with AI 💻 19:15 - Break 19:30 - Pim: Type Safe Tax Calculations 💻 20:15 - Networking and Drinks 🍻 \*\*\*\* **Talk 1: Pair Programming with AI: Building Software in the Age of Coding Agents** *Mehmet Akif Tütüncü - Engineer @ bol* AI coding agents are rapidly changing how we write software, but what does that look like in a real Kotlin project? In this session, I'll share my experience building an open-source Kotlin DSL library primarily by pair programming with AI. After defining the core design by hand, I relied heavily on coding agents to expand features, refactor code, generate tests, draft documentation, automate publishing, and explore alternative designs. The project tapik, a type-safe DSL for defining HTTP APIs in Kotlin, became more than a library. It became an experiment in AI-augmented engineering. * What changes when AI becomes your primary collaborator? * Where does it accelerate you? * Where does it confidently fail? * What skills become more important? Through concrete examples in Kotlin, I'll show how AI shifts the engineer's role from "code writer" to architect, reviewer, and decision-maker, and what that means for our profession moving forward. \*\*\*\* **Talk 2: Type-safe tax calculations; Using Context Parameters** *Pim van Gurp - Software Engineer @ Flock.* In this talk we’ll explore how two powerful Kotlin features (context parameters and Arrow's Raise DSL) combined to push time and error rules into the type system. Context parameters allow us to change contextual input while keeping the call side consistent. This allows us to calculate income tax with X % in 2025 and Y % in 2026. Furthermore, Arrow's Raise DSL gives us typed, structured error handling without exceptions, making every failure path explicit. Which enhances this typed domain even more. No tax expertise required, just bring your joy for type systems.

**Every product has a story.** *Making it verifiable with blockchain-backed digital product passports.* Every product has a story. Where does it come from? Who made it? Which materials were used? And under what conditions? At the upcoming Almere Tech Meetup, [Edmondo Grigolato](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edmondo-grigolato-15b2a22b/) will take us into the world of Digital Product Passports, powered by blockchain technology. Not as hype, but as a practical solution to real challenges in the supply chain. During the session, Edmondo will present his idea. He is still working on it and he is planning to release the MVP by then. Together, we will explore how it could be expanded across the supply chain and what real value it might create for companies and consumers. What concrete value does this create for producers, logistics providers and retailers? And how does it bring real, verifiable value to consumers? The program is as follows: * **17.30** Door open, welcome drinks * **18.00** Word of welcome by [Stijn Sprenkels](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stijnsprenkels/), serving of snacks * **18.15** Talk by [Edmondo Grigolato](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edmondo-grigolato-15b2a22b/) * **18.45** Q&A, discussion * **19.15** Networking drinks * **20.00** End **Almere Tech** is the meetup for the larger Almere area for startups, entrepreneurs, developers and those interested to discuss new technology. Everybody can join in for a drink and hopefully interesting and inspiring conversations. Hope to see you all again soon!

Whether you're a complete beginner or just curious to try something new, this hands-on session invites you to slow down, focus, and create with your hands. Guided by a professional instructor, you’ll learn the basics of wheel throwing step by step, from centering the clay to shaping your own cup, bowl, or unique form. Pottery isn’t about perfection, but about rhythm, flow, and enjoying the process. This 3-hour workshop is both relaxing and energising, and a great way to meet others in a small, intimate group setting. **What you’ll get:** * Your own handmade ceramic piece * All materials included (clay, tools, wheel, guidance) * First (bisque) firing included * Tea and a small treat **Good to know:** After the workshop, your piece stays with us to dry and be fired (this takes about 2–3 weeks).

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!

**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. **YouTube Link** TBA

12:45-3:45 in the Meeting Room on the library lowest level. Bring your yarn projects, meet new friends. If you plan to attend, please RSVP yes. If you can’t attend, please change your RSVP to no. This helps anyone who is waitlisted and it allows me to have an accurate count of attendees as our space is quite limited. Plenty of parking in the lot, in the overflow lot across the street, and on the street. See you there! Winter Note: If the weather is bad and I have to cancel the Meetup, i will issue the cancellation not later than 3 p.m. of that day.
