Hallo liebe Java User Group Mitglieder! Im ersten Meetup des Jahres geht es mit Felix Tensing um das Thema Bottom-Up-Tests. Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen (virtuell oder vor Ort). Dank an [BRANDAD](https://brandad-solutions.de/) für Location, Bier und Pizza! \-\-\- Frühes Testen in der Softwareentwicklung gilt längst als bewährte Praxis – dennoch verlassen sich viele Entwickler:innen weiterhin auf „den Tester“, um ihre Arbeit zu prüfen. Entwicklung und Test laufen getrennt, Feedbackschleifen verlängern sich und es entstehen Wissenssilos. Die Folge: Fehler werden spät entdeckt, Korrekturen teurer und das gemeinsame Verständnis für Anforderungen und Nutzer:innen bleibt lückenhaft. Exploratives Testen bietet hier eine einfache und wirkungsvolle Lösung. In selbstorganisierten Sessions können Teams ohne Vorwissen unmittelbar starten. Test-Chartas geben Orientierung, ohne die kreative Erkundung einzuschränken. Schon kurze, fokussierte Sessions liefern wertvolles Feedback, decken blinde Flecken auf und fördern den Wissensaustausch im Team. So profitiert das ganze Team vom Knowledge-Aufbau – sei es fachliches Wissen, Testmethoden oder Aspekte wie Barrierefreiheit. Der Vortrag zeigt praxisnah, wie Entwickler:innen exploratives Testen bottom-up einführen können – auch ohne offizielles „Go“ von oben. Anhand von Beispielen, konkreten Anleitungen und leicht übertragbaren Formaten erhalten Teilnehmende einen Hands-on-Einstieg, mit dem sie sofort beginnen und profitieren können. Exploratives Testen zeigt sofort Wirkung – wenn ihr es einfach ausprobiert. \-\-\- Dein Vortrag bei der Java Usergroup Nürnberg! Hast du dich in letzter Zeit in deinem Projekt oder privat mit einem interessanten Thema beschäftigt? Vermutlich ist das nicht nur für dich selbst interessant! Hast du Lust, selber einmal einen Vortrag bei der Java-Usergroup Nürnberg zu halten? Wir sind nicht nur auf Java-Themen fokussiert, sondern beschäftigen uns gern mit und um alles über Software Entwicklung und IT. Wir wollen bei der JUG nicht nur bekannten Speaker\*innen eine Plattform geben und die neuesten State-of-the-Art Technologien vorstellen. Wir freuen uns auch besonders, wenn wir Themen aus unserem technologischen (Arbeits-)alltag Raum geben zu können. Melde dich gerne bei uns, wenn du dazu Lust hast, wir geben wenn gewünscht gerne auch Hilfestellung bei der Vorbereitung!

**Weekly stand-up comedy open mic night, featuring short sets from multiple comedians. FREE ENTRY!** Every Thursday at 9pm at Updown Bar ! Free tickets https://www.eventbrite.com/e/comedy-open-mic-luxembourg-tickets-1216566646589?aff=ebdsshcopyurl&utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=

I enjoy discovering new restaurants and trying new menus, and this group is about doing that together. We’ll regularly choose new places to visit, plan our dinners in advance, and enjoy good food in good company. It’s a relaxed meetup where we can share impressions, talk about the dishes (and sometimes the wine), and meet people with similar interests. If you like exploring new spots and enjoying food beyond just eating, you’ll feel right at home! The 1st restaurant to try out is L'Orgue in Lintgen. Gault&Millau gives it 13.5 out of 20 and mentions its "Roaring Twenties" ambiance, refined, creative cuisine and overall experience being polished. Well, let's see for ourselves and find out! [Restaurant link](https://www.orgue-restaurant.lu/) The table is booked for 6 people, so the number of participants is limited. There's parking available and you can carpool or reach the place by public transport.

Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area. When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries! **A note about the format** We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing. For our full event schedule, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://www.shutupwrite.com). **Other Important Details:** 1\. Until further notice\, this event will take place on the 1st floor of Cocottes Chimay in the city centre\. I’ve been there several times in the morning\, and it’s never busy\. 2\. I usually sit on the left\-hand side at the top of the stairs\, and you’ll be able to find me by the Shut Up and Write print on the table\. I will\, however\, always let you know in the chat below where I am\. 3\. First time? Don’t be afraid\! Everyone is welcome\! 🙂 4\. Anyone who would like to can join me for lunch or a drink at the venue\. 5\. I will bring an extension cable for anyone who needs to power up their laptop\.

Pojďme se pravidelně potkávat a sdílet zkušenosti z Power Platformy, co nás na ní baví, co nás trápí a co nového zajímavého přichází. A pokud už nám to někde reálně běží, pochlubme se, jak to funguje nebo nefunguje. Témata jsou primárně Power Automate, Power Apps, Power Pages, Power BI, Copilot Studio, Dynamics 365 a Dataverse. Budeme rádi i za méně pokročilé příspěvky, protože většinou jsme velmi hluboko v technických detailech. **Lokalita:** Fyzicky v Microsoftu v Praze Vyskočilova 1561/4a, Praha 4, 140 00 Místnost Morava Případně online na [https://ppug.community/stream](https://ppug.community/stream) **Jazyk:** čeština **Agenda:** [https://ppug.community/agenda](https://ppug.community/agenda) **Přihlašte vlastní příspěvek:** [https://ppug.community/sessions](https://ppug.community/sessions) **Link na stream:** [https://ppug.community/stream](https://ppug.community/stream) **Občerstvení:** Bagety **Úroveň:** 100-300 Tak si prosím naplánujte čas ve svých kalendářích a přijďte, pokud bude chuť a čas, tak si po meetupu určitě můžeme sednout na pivo.

**⚡ AI & Coffee – In-Person Meetup in Luxembourg** Since the community has been growing, we’re hosting the next event on Sunday 15th Februara from 15h00-17h00 in Updown Bar (Downstairs) Based on the great feedback last time, feel free to bring your laptops if you’d like to show your work. People were very open to sharing approaches and projects, which sparked some truly deep conversations. Looking forward to meeting you all again, and also welcoming those who couldn’t make it last time. AI is moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up alone. The best way to make sense of it is by meeting others, exchanging ideas, and hearing fresh perspectives. That’s what this meetup is about. ☕ We’ll gather in a local café for open conversations about: * AI news and trends (what’s real, what’s hype) * Sharing projects, ideas, and feedback * Supporting each other and creating new stories * Building connections with like-minded people 👥 **Who’s welcome?** Developers, entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, students, researchers, creatives — and anyone simply curious about AI. 💡 **What to expect** * Casual atmosphere, no commitment, no pressure * The host will share small icebreakers and sparks of AI news * The rest is up to you: meet, talk, connect, and exchange 🎉 The only cost is your own coffee or drink. Bring your curiosity and an open mind — and let’s build one of the most exciting AI communities in the area.

A hilarious show about dating and failing, with some of the best comedians in town. We dated all the red flags, so YOU won't have to! The show is fun, playful and when the audience is up for it, it can get a bit unhinged too. Anna Ampatziani and her comedy friends gathered their crazy dating stories to give you an unexpected and very funny show that everyone can relate with. Treat yourself with an hour of laughter, while they tell you all about love, failure, and everything in between. According to those who saw her live, her stories hook you until the end, and she makes you laugh about things, you never thought you'd laugh about. The show takes place at the hidden "Salle New Jazzland" right next to the central train station. It's a cozy atmosphere with vinyls and vintage posters covering the walls. You can enjoy a cocktail or a meal à la carte. If you're coming alone, don't worry, you'll feel like you are among friends. Doors open at 7PM, show starts at 8PM Entry to the show is free with a one-drink minimum requirement.

This is not just a money class. This is a restoration space. The I AM Worthy of Ownership™ Path is a 12-step, sister-centered journey for women who are ready to build financial stability without shame, fear, or pressure—and to do it in a way that honors both wisdom and the spirit. Many women don’t struggle with money because they lack discipline or intelligence. They struggle because of unhealed experiences, survival patterns, and the quiet belief that they are “behind” or “disqualified.” This series gently challenges those beliefs while offering practical tools for peace, clarity, and long-term planning. Together, we will talk honestly about: Releasing shame and money anxiety Building stability as a form of self-respect and spiritual discipline Understanding money as a tool, not a source of worth Managing debt with clarity instead of condemnation Preparing for life’s unexpected moments without fear Laying a calm foundation for future ownership and legacy Each session blends practical financial education with reflection, conversation, and encouragement. There is no pressure to share personal numbers or experiences. You are welcome to speak, journal quietly, or simply listen. This is not about hustle. This is not about perfection. This is about alignment, wisdom, and peace. Who this series is for: Women who are starting over or rebuilding Women who want stability without stress Women preparing for future ownership or housing decisions Women who want their financial lives to reflect wholeness, not fear No prior financial knowledge is required. Come as you are. Bring a notebook. Leave a little lighter than you arrived. Light refreshments will be served along with 30 minutes of networking.

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.
