It's DDD but \***lightning**\*. The evening will be a hybrid event hosted by the DDD Melbourne crew and consist of short & sharp presentations of fifteen minutes in length on a dev related subject. Venue space is limited, we cannot accommodate more than **90 people**. First come first served! **ONLINE ATTENDANCE** You can join us online, we'll aim to get the call started somewhere around 6pm before we have our introductions and first speaker. Remote audience link --> **TBA** You can ask questions of our speakers via Slido. We'll try to ask your questions as they come through on Slido, but we may not get to all of them. **TALKS** **Elmer Rokerick Niem Bool** neurUL: Duplicateless Databases Using Biomimicry In this talk, Elmer will present neurUL (neurUL Universal Language), a new neurobiological programming language, inspired by computer science, neuroscience, cognitive science, linguistics, and philosophy, that can enable a highly efficient and flexible method for data storage. Using neurUL, developers will be able to solve the ""unavoidable redundancies"" problem, wherein, despite the introduction of database normalization more than half a century ago, relational databases with their current limitations, are still plagued by costly, ever-growing redundancies across columns, rows, tables, as well as in schema definitions **Suyogya Taneja** CQRS in Modern .NET: Clean Architecture, Vertical Slice, Microservices, and AI-Assisted Development with Claude Code The talk will explore implementing CQRS in modern .NET applications across Clean Architecture, Vertical Slice Architecture, and Microservices, along with demonstrating how AI-assisted development using Claude Code can help accelerate building CQRS-based features such as commands, handlers, and tests. **Anderson Santos** Automate Work and Build Tools with No-Code Repetitive tasks are everywhere, copying data between systems, updating records, processing documents, and managing manual workflows. In this talk, Anderson will show how no-code automation platforms like Make allow anyone to connect systems, eliminate boring work, and build powerful workflows without writing code. He will also briefly explore how the same approach can be used to create internal tools and even launch small SaaS products. **Ben Taylor** Building MCP Servers is Surprisingly Easy The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is changing what is possible with LLMs and enabling general purpose agents. It turns out building MCP servers is super easy. Ben will talk about what an MCP is, some background around the security considerations involved, how to build one, and what you could use it for. **SCHEDULE** **5.45pm** Open doors, food served **6.10pm** Intro and three talks **7.30pm** Break for networking and drinks **8.00pm** Two more talks **8.45pm** Close **CODE OF CONDUCT** All DDD events are subject to the DDD Code of Conduct available at https://www.dddmelbourne.com/code-of-conduct/ **VENUE AND FOOD SPONSOR** [Luminary](https://www.luminary.com/) **FUTURE EVENTS** Are you interested in speaking at a future DDD by Night?

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon
