🎉 Come along to the London Scala Talks! 🎉 In this event you'll hear from Jacob Wang and Jack Higgs. **Agenda** 6:00pm - 🥤 Doors open. Come along and grab a drink! 6:40pm - 🗣️ Jacob Wang: A comprehensive tour of error handling in Scala 7:20pm - 🍕 Intermission: Join us for some free food and drinks! Vegan, vegetarian options are provided. Let us know if you'd like something special - we'd be happy to accommodate. 7:50pm - 🗣️ Jack Higgs: Starship Enterprise: Functional Programming at Huge Companies 8:30pm - 🥤 Socialising: Grab a drink and let's discuss the talks. 9:00pm - 🍻 Join us in a pub to discuss the talks! 🌐 **This event may have a live stream** Watch this space for more details. **🗣️ Jacob Wang: A comprehensive tour of error handling in Scala** Errors are part of life - But how best to work with them in our code? In this talk, I'll take you on a tour of various typed error handling approaches within the Scala ecosystem, as well introduce a new one for cats/cats-effect ecosystem! ⭐ Jacob Wang ⭐ Jacob has been writing Scala for close to 10 years. He enjoys creating programs that mostly behave, as well as sharing this joy via open source & teaching. **🗣️ Jack Higgs: Starship Enterprise: Functional Programming at Huge Companies** Practicing functional programming inside a Fortune 100 enterprise can feel like flying the Starship Enterprise through asteroid fields of legacy code and bureaucracy. This talk shares hard-earned lessons from the Information Engineering team at JPMorganChase, which runs a production Scala codebase powering a novel metadata platform. We'll explore the political, cultural, and technical friction of pushing functional programming in a Java and Python dominated environment. We'll introduce the domain we work in, the techniques that have worked (and those that haven't), the compromises we've made, and why - despite it all - we still think it's worth it. If you've never tried to run cats-effect in a place where Spring Boot is king, add this talk to your battle log. ⭐ Jack Higgs ⭐ Jack Higgs is a technologist with fifteen years of experience in investment banking, including the past decade at JPMorganChase. He leads teams building metadata platforms using Scala and functional programming techniques. Over the past six years, Jack has worked at the intersection of software engineering, data architecture, and large-scale enterprise systems. Passionate about type safety, functional design, and making abstract ideas practical, he thrives on applying elegant code in messy real-world environments. ———————————————————— 🗣️ Would you like to present, but are not sure how to start?

The Android Circuit journeys through London, with each "stop" hosted in the heart of the city's vibrant tech ecosystem. Our mission remains the same: to connect Android developers of all levels. We're delighted to announce that the next station on The Android Circuit will be Old Street! Mark your calendars for our fourth meetup on February 11th, starting at 17:30, which will be hosted at our community partner, Encode Hub. Agenda 5:30 PM: Registration and arrival 6:00 PM: Welcome remarks 6:15 PM: Empowering Android Apps with Local Google Gemma Models for Privacy-First AI by Abdul Basit This session explores the transformative potential of running Google Gemma models locally on Android devices to build secure, privacy-first AI applications. Starting with a brief overview of Large Language Models (LLMs) and their role in the AI landscape, we’ll address privacy concerns driving the need for local deployment. Discover why local LLMs are essential, explore available Gemma models optimized for Android, and learn practical steps to install and run these models on Android devices. By the end, you’ll be equipped to create innovative, offline-capable Android apps that prioritize user privacy. Key Takeaways: AI and LLMs Overview: A concise introduction to Large Language Models and their significance in the AI ecosystem. Privacy Concerns: Key risks of cloud-based LLMs, including data exposure and regulatory challenges (e.g., GDPR, CCPA). Why Local LLMs?: Benefits of local deployment on Android, such as enhanced privacy, offline functionality, and compliance. Available Models: Overview of Google Gemma models (1B, 2B parameters) designed for lightweight, on-device Android use. Running Gemma on Android: Step-by-step guide to installing and optimizing Gemma models on Android using tools like TensorFlow Lite or ONNX Runtime, with practical deployment tips. 7:00 PM: Why it's worth implementing passkeys in Android - even though it's hard! by Tom Colvin With passkeys, you can secure user data with your phone's fingerprint scanner, facial recognition or screen lock. No more passwords or third-party auth! In this talk, I hope to convince you that passkeys are worth implementing in your app, even though it's hard to do so. And I will demonstrate how to do that in Android. You will learn: - Why user behaviour makes passwords insecure - How passkeys solve this, by being inherently immune to phishing, credential stuffing and data breaches - How to authenticate users using passkeys in Android using Jetpack Credential Manager 7:45 PM: Networking --- Speaker Abdul Basit - HungerStation (Senior Engineer) Hosts Tom Colvin - Apptaura (Google Developer Expert • Chief Technology Officer) Tom Colvin is CTO of Apptaura, the app development specialists; and founder of Conseal Security, the mobile app security experts.

Improving will be providing pizza and beverages. * 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Main meeting and presentation(s). Lonnie Morgan will be presenting information about the DLT Library. "The Python library `dlt` provides a powerful [REST API toolkit](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/rest_api/basic) to ingest data. Combined with our [LLM scaffolds](https://dlthub.com/workspace) and [MCP server](https://dlthub.com/docs/hub/features/mcp-server), you can build a custom connector for any of the 8k+ available sources in 10 minutes by following this guide. Building with LLMs is an iterative process. We will follow this general workflow and give practical tips for each step." See Our [Parking Map](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1u2A4fLNlxwLJn0KA_hKc8bnFlFHLvsHBDh-_8wzX_tk/edit?usp=sharing) We meet on the last Monday of each Month. Presentations are given by members and friends of this group. If you would like to do a presentation (small or large) on a python topic, please contact centralohpython@gmail.com

**New Dojo Location!** **Draft Day Columbus** 1130 Dublin Road Columbus, OH 43215 We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead. We're looking for topic suggestions and people interested in presenting at our monthly meetings. To this end we've set up a survey form at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc)

We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.
