Retrouvez-nous pour une édition exceptionnelle chez Apple ! 🙌
Une pièce d'identité sera demandée, utilisez votre nom complet pour vous inscrire, pas de pseudo !
Au programme (les talks seront en français) :
\* Claire Sivadier - Who let the App intents out ? 🐾
Who says you need to open an app to use it? With App Intents, I tracked walks with my puppy 🐶 without taking out my iPhone. Learn how to extend your app beyond the UI using Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and widgets hands-free, in pure Swift.
\* Sebastien Stormacq - Swift, Serverside, Serverless
Swift developers can build full-stack apps purely in Swift with frameworks like Vapor or Hummingbird, but often resort to Node.js/Python/Java due to outdated perceptions. This talk celebrates 100% Swift across frontend (SwiftUI) and backend via AWS Lambda serverless: no server management, instant scaling, pay-per-use. Through live coding, we'll deploy an unmodified Hummingbird app and then build a native Swift Lambda functions for production endpoints.
\* Florent Morin - ClearSurgery: From zero to worldwide leader of spatial computing in operation room
Since day one, we’ve trusted Apple Vision Pro as the ideal platform to bring spatial computing into the operating room. We began with Swift on visionOS, expanded to embedded Swift, built tools across macOS, iPadOS, and iOS, and completed the stack with a Swift server. Every layer was optimized and accelerated with AI: the perfect partner for Swift. Today, we lead spatial computing in the operating room. This isn’t a vision. It’s reality in production.

COURS - Pieds, placement au sol
En mars, on fait des pieds et des mains! Ces fameuses zones d'interface avec le monde sont faites pour s'y adapter, et prennent donc d'innombrables formes, qui les rendent notoirement difficiles à dessiner et à imaginer.
Sur cette troisième séance, nous dessinerons les pieds à partir de la place qu'ils occupent au sol, ce qui nous aidera en même temps à les construire, et à donner à notre modèle davantage de poids et de réalité dans l'espace.
On se retrouve à 19h30, mais qui veut peut arriver au local à partir de 19h pour grignoter, discuter!
Il y aura du thé et du café pour qui veut, il faut retirer ses chaussures car c'est une salle de danse (donc les bottes à lacets attendront une autre soirée).
Paiement en espèces (25€), sur place, et il y aura un chapeau pour qui veut donner un peu plus au modèle! Le matériel n'est pas fourni.
Hâte de vous y voir! 🙂

Hello,
I want to share the passion I have for watercolor with people who want an initiation of this fantastic and peaceful art.
The purpose is to learn the basic technical skill but the main part is to find its own style of pouring the colour into a nice time around cakes and coffees (or tea).
The session costs 22€.
I can invite you in my personal workshop in Vincennes (métro 1 or rer A) for 2h of creativity. All watercolor supplies is provided, just bring your smile :)

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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.
