Functional Programming

We will of course help you break the ice! * **When:** First Friday of each month, i.e. March 6, 2026, at 7pm * **Ending:** while the duration is announced to be 2 hours, the party usually lasts longer * **Where:** The Snuggest, Zirgu iela 3 * Prices: the event itself is free of charge, but please get a drink or a meal at the bar.

**Important: the event is paid and tickets must be bought at the [https://trektours.lv/](https://trektours.lv/) website.** *This is not an advertisement. I'll go and therefore I am posting the event here so that perhaps others will join me. I didn't want to post any sooner because I wanted to see the weather.* Trektours is organising a hike this Saturday in Ķemeri. I'll be attending and this will be my third hike with them. So far each have been very well organised and with lots of enthusiastic people - since the weather is expected to be nice and springlike, I am posting this here so that those of you who want to enjoy the spring can join. In case you decide to come: 1\. buy your ticket at the website above\, also pick your distance\. I'll be doing the 15 kilometre hike\. 2\. I'll be taking the 10:20 train to Ķemeri and therefore we are meeting at the Laima candy store area of the Central Station at 10:00\. Buy your train ticket for yourself\. NB: you are free to get there whenever you feel like it, within the time range detailed on the organisers website. Bring your food, drinks, proper cloting etc. Expect a large crowd who attend the event through Treck Tours, the organiser company. **And to recap: the hike is a paid event, see the ticket link above.**

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that. As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact? Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization. We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM. 📍 First Watch - 7227 N High St Located in: The Shops at Worthington Ample parking is available. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Start your morning with clarity and connection — we hope to see you there! ☀️

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
