***Overview about Talks:***
**Talk 1st:**
**Why Seed7 - Introducing a programming language**
A classification of Seed7 and a comparison with other languages.
A list of Seed7 advantages. A hello-world Seed7 example program.
The advantages of Seed7 are discussed in detail:
This includes **compile-time execution**, **integer overflow checks**,
the **absence of pointers and NULL**, the static type system,
ahead of time compilation, types as first-class citizens,
abstract data types, **templates**, **parser as part of the run-time library**,
the Extended Backus-Naur Form, **Seed7 Structured Syntax Definition**,
defining the semantic of a for-loop, how languages evolve and
the **Seed7 test suite**.
**Talk 2nd:**
**Claude Code - How AI Agents Are Changing the Way We Code**
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding CLI that lives in your terminal. it autonomously reads your codebase, edits files, runs tests, and ships PRs — all through natural conversation. I'll give a live demo covering its latest features:
* **Sub-agents**: parallel, specialized AI workers with independent context windows
* **MCP** (Model Context Protocol): connecting Claude to external tools like Firecrawl for live web search/scraping, databases, Slack, and more — right from the terminal
* **Hooks & Skills**: custom automation triggers and reusable slash commands that personalize your workflow
* **Plan mode**: aligning on implementation strategy before the AI writes a single line of code
* **Auto-memory (CLAUDE.md)**: how the agent learns your project conventions and remembers them across sessions
* **Voice mode**: talking to your codebase
Whether you use VS Code, JetBrains, or just a terminal — this is the future of developer tooling. Live demo included.

* To develop a personal style that unites technical skill with your own creative voice

* **Clarify your goals**: write down your measurable tasks for the day on a Post-it when you arrive, or join us for the 30' intro session where we introduce ourselves and share our goals for the day
* **Enough spaces**: main table is for quiet focus, multiple nearby tables for casual conversation, and sofa's in the back for taking video calls(be mindful that the hotel music is always on in the background). After each focus session, if you’re still in the flow, feel free to remain seated — no need to move. If you're up for a chat, we can move to a social area for a relaxed break
* **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45' focus blocks followed by 15' social breaks. If 45' feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20' focus sessions with a short 5' reset in between. You’ll 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 — just shared presence and support
💡 **New to Pomodoro?** Don’t worry — we’ll guide you gently. No apps or timers needed.

Connected Westerville Night of Networking!
**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy*
You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life.
The problem isn't you. It's the format.
Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built.
Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else.
*That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real.
There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking.
Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum.
This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic.
You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation.
**April 14th. RSVP now.**
**When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
