Flutter Berlin × CarOnSale
Join us for an evening of Flutter, Dart, and networking hosted by CarOnSale. We'll kick things off with a deep dive into one of Dart's newest language features, followed by a second session and plenty of time to connect with fellow developers from the Berlin Flutter community.
**Schedule**
**18:30 — Doors Open**
Check in, grab a drink, and meet fellow Flutter developers from the Berlin community.
**19:00 — Welcome Notes**
A short introduction from Flutter Berlin and our hosts at CarOnSale.
**Talk 1 — Hiding Complexity with Dart Extension Types — Roman**
Extension types in Dart 3.3+ let you elegantly hide the real complexity behind clean abstractions. They enable powerful patterns for true compile-time singletons with strong privacy guarantees, while also letting you build robust zero-cost Value Objects that enforce domain invariants and create a clear ubiquitous language — all with zero runtime cost.
**About Roman**
Roman is a Google-awarded Flutter Developer and Staff Mobile Engineer at CarOnSale.de, where he has worked for 4 years as part of his 8 years of Flutter experience (and over a decade in design). He loves Dart as his primary language and Rust as a complementary one (along with TS/Swift), but believes strong programming fundamentals matter more than any specific syntax. In his role he mentors Flutter developers and shapes architecture solutions. Outside of work he prioritizes family and open-source.
**Talk 2 — TBA**
Our second session of the evening will be announced soon.
**20:30 — Networking & Socialising**
Meet fellow Flutter developers, exchange ideas, discuss the talks, and connect with the local community.
**22:00 — Doors Close**
We wrap up the evening and head home inspired with new ideas and connections.
From AI Pair Programming To Agentic Delegation
We're trying something new this month at the Berlin Collaborative Modeling Meetup. And guess what? It's about AI!
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll move beyond “chatting with the coding assistant” and practice giving an AI agent real tasks: planning, implementing, iterating, and reporting back.
You’ll follow along from your own laptop and experience the shift from working with the agent to delegating work to the agent.
Bring your laptop and your tokens.
