Welcome to The Club.
**Welcome to The Club.**
A **curated** social community in Brussels for people who want real connections, memorable experiences, and **better energy than the usual random meetup chaos**.
Most of our events happen in **private homes**, gardens, hidden places around Brussels, or unusual locations outside the city. The goal is simple: create the kind of atmosphere where people actually talk, laugh, connect, and want to come back.
We organize things like:
• gourmet lunches & dinners
• picnics & roadtrips
• cooking nights
• walks around Brussels
• karaoke & movie nights
• debates & discussions
• card and social games
• occasional “chaperoned” social evenings where people can meet naturally in a safe environment
The difference is that we personally curate and vet new members.
The host actively introduces newcomers, helps people integrate into the group, and keeps the atmosphere respectful and relaxed. We have zero tolerance for creepy behavior, unwanted pressure, spam, random uninvited people, or drama.
*Unfortunately, posting too many details publicly on Meetup or on the internet in general quickly attracts bots, scammers, fake profiles, crypto weirdos, and people who completely ruin the vibe for everyone else.*
That’s why most of our real coordination happens privately through our ***vetted WhatsApp community***.
To join, simply scan the QR code in the image.
If you are on your phone and cannot scan it directly:
• take a screenshot of the image
• open the screenshot in your photo gallery
• most phones can automatically detect QR codes from photos by long pressing or using Google Lens / iPhone scan feature
Then request access to the group and introduce yourself briefly.
See you soon

Build a Modern API with FastAPI
[French version below]
You’ve built an API — or at least explored one. But have you ever used an API that documents itself, validates your data automatically, and tells you exactly what went wrong… without writing extra code?
Welcome to FastAPI.
FastAPI is one of the most popular modern Python frameworks — and for good reason. It’s fast to write, hard to break, and comes with powerful features that used to take hours to set up, right out of the box.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll build a real API together using FastAPI and discover what makes it such a game changer compared to traditional approaches.
🔍 **What we’ll explore**
* How FastAPI differs from frameworks like Flask
* Using type hints as real validation tools (not just documentation)
* Pydantic: define your data once and get validation + clear error messages for free
* The magic of /docs: an interactive API documentation generated automatically from your code
👩💻 **Workshop style**
This is a hands-on session — we’ll code together step by step, so you can follow along and experiment in real time.
👉 **Who is this for?**
* You have basic Python knowledge
* You’ve seen or built a simple API (e.g. with Flask) — or you’re curious to go one step further
* You want to understand how modern APIs are built today
🧰 **What to bring**
* Your laptop with Python 3.x installed
* A code editor (VS Code recommended)
* Install before the session: pip install fastapi uvicorn requests
* Enthusiasm and curiosity!
✨ By the end of the workshop, you’ll have your own working API — and a solid understanding of why FastAPI is becoming the go-to framework for modern backend development.
***
**Construisez une API moderne avec FastAPI**
Vous avez déjà créé une API — ou au moins exploré ce concept. Mais avez-vous déjà utilisé une API qui se documente toute seule, valide automatiquement vos données et vous indique précisément ce qui ne va pas… sans écrire de code supplémentaire ?
Bienvenue dans FastAPI.
FastAPI est l’un des frameworks Python modernes les plus populaires — et ce n’est pas un hasard. Il est rapide à écrire, difficile à casser, et propose des fonctionnalités puissantes qui demandaient autrefois des heures de configuration, directement prêtes à l’emploi.
Dans cet atelier pratique, nous construirons ensemble une véritable API avec FastAPI et découvrirons pourquoi il change la manière de développer des APIs par rapport aux approches plus traditionnelles.
🔍 **Ce que nous allons explorer**
* Ce qui distingue FastAPI de frameworks comme Flask
* L’utilisation des type hints comme outils de validation (et pas seulement de documentation)
* Pydantic : définir vos données une seule fois pour obtenir validation et messages d’erreur clairs automatiquement
* La magie de /docs: une documentation interactive générée automatiquement à partir de votre code
👩💻 **Format de l’atelier**
C’est une session pratique — nous coderons ensemble étape par étape, afin que vous puissiez suivre et expérimenter en temps réel.
👉 **À qui s’adresse cet atelier ?**
* Vous avez des bases en Python
* Vous avez déjà vu ou créé une API simple (par exemple avec Flask) — ou vous êtes curieux·se d’aller plus loin
* Vous souhaitez comprendre comment les APIs modernes sont construites aujourd’hui
🧰 **À apporter**
* Votre ordinateur portable avec Python 3.x installé
* Un éditeur de code (VS Code recommandé)
* À installer avant la session : pip install fastapi uvicorn requests
* De la curiosité et de l’enthousiasme !
✨ À la fin de cet atelier, vous repartirez avec votre propre API fonctionnelle — et une bonne compréhension de pourquoi FastAPI est en train de devenir un standard pour le développement backend moderne.
