Dear Java developer, We would like to invite you to a physical Java Meetup powerd by Craftsmen in Apeldoorn about Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build by Ko Turk and Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture by Michel Schudel **Location** STOOM Vlijtseweg 114 7317 AG Apeldoorn Movie for route: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8XwbB6APsM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8XwbB6APsM) Maps: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/bHihYysxXp71aQjP7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/bHihYysxXp71aQjP7) **Program** (UTC +1) 17:30 Doors open 18:00 Food & networking 18:45 **Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture** by Michel Schudel 19:30 Break 19:45 **Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build** by Ko Turk 20:30 Networking & drinks 21:15 Doors closed **Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture** Clean Architecture is about separating concerns within your application to keep it maintainable, scalable, and testable. Some call it onion architecture, others call it hexagonal, but in the end they all aim for the same goal: protecting your domain logic from the messy outside world. But how does this work in practice? In this session, we'll build a Spring Boot application together using the principles of Clean Architecture. We'll use the Spring Boot Test framework for clean integration tests and ArchUnit to ensure our squeaky-clean application stays that way by enforcing architectural boundaries. After this session you've learned what Clean Architecture is, and how you can leverage your own applications with it. **Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build** Ahoy, Maven Pirates! Gather around, for I have a treasure of knowledge to share with ye salty dogs. ☠️ Ye be hearin' about this thing called 'Build Caching'? It’s a secret weapon that can make yer ship (build) sail faster than a seagull catchin' the wind! How does it work, ye ask? Well, add an extension to the project file in the "pom" ye mateys call it. But don't think it's all smooth sailin' from there. Nay, ye need to do a bit of work on the pipeline too. Arr, we be talkin' about addin' a remote (cache) server to the settings file, and then ye be sayin' goodbye to them extra (rum with) coffee breaks. ☕️ By makin' a few simple tweaks, we give yer build a mighty fine boost! And ye be learnin' all about them Maven lifecycles too! We will show how to improve yer tests and run them in parallel, like enterin’ a ship. ⚡️ But hear me out, me hearties, for this be no ordinary treasure of knowledge. Nay, this is reserved for a select few, the likes of ye who be joinin' this session. So, keep yer lips sealed, and don't be tellin' a soul about this secret, aye? **Ko Turk** Ko Turk is a Software Architect, Java Engineer, and Community Builder with more than 15+ years of experience in development, architecture, speaking, and building communities.

**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.
