Dies ist ein informelles Treffen für Lernende, die ihre ersten Schritte in der Programmierung machen oder ihre Grundkenntnisse vertiefen möchten. *** This is an informal meetup, for learners that want to do their first steps in programming or want to consolidate their skills. We spend one hour and a half working on tutorials, exercises or projects. If you need help to get started, we will help you finding a good way for learning. You should be prepared to spend your time "doing things": just hanging around and listening might get boring, if all other people are learning on their side. There are experienced people are around and you can ask questions as soon as their arise or bring with you questions you have had during the week. During the last half an hour, we do a (simple) exercise together. We speak German, English, and a few other languages. Currently, how main programming languages are: * Python * Javascript * Java * Flutter * C++ * C * C# * PHP But you're free to learn any programming language during our Co-Learning!

This acts as an announcement to the public event hosted by [Students for Palestine](https://www.instagram.com/studentsforpalzh/) that is the film screening of the ver impressive Palestinian film 'All that's left of you' which is an award winning 2025 film with extremely impressive film-rating of 100% ([Film-Rating](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/all_thats_left_of_you)) by Film-Critics and Audience. This screening is in light of 78 years of the ongoing Palestinian Nakba, and **entry is free.** \* You dont need to register here to attend the event, it is public. **Description:** All That’s Left of You is a historical drama that traces three generations of Palestinians from 1948 to 2022, revealing the profound impacts of the Nakba and Israeli occupation. The film follows a Palestinian teenager who gets swept up in a protest in the Occupied West Bank and experiences a moment of violence that rocks the family.

Join us for a community-led developer event focused on AI-assisted coding with GitHub Copilot. This event brings together developers to explore practical workflows, real-world use cases, and hands-on experiences using GitHub Copilot. Whether you are new to GitHub Copilot or already using it, this event will help you better understand how to apply AI-assisted coding techniques in everyday development. **Agenda** \- 4:30pm: Doors open\, Snacks\, and Networking \- 5:00pm: Welcome\, Community update \- 5:10pm\~5:40pm: Tech talk: GitHub Copilot overview \- 5:40pm\~6:40pm: Tech talk: GitHub Copilot in Practice \- 6:40pm\~7:30pm: Open discussion and closing **Tech talk: Mastering GitHub Copilot CLI** **Speaker:** Aymen Furter - Cloud & AI Solution Engineer, Microsoft **Abstract:** Learn to harness the power of agentic development by transitioning to autonomous, multi-step terminal workflows. This session focuses on mastering plan-based execution, repository-aware context, and integrating external data via the Model Context Protocol. **Tech talk: GitStop Using GitHub Copilot Like a Toy** **Speaker:** Emanuele Bartolesi - GitHub Tech Lead, Xebia **Abstract:** GitHub Copilot is easy to love in a demo. Real projects are different. Production codebases come with legacy code, missing context, inconsistent patterns, unclear requirements, and delivery pressure. That is where GitHub Copilot either becomes a real advantage or just an expensive toy. This talk focuses on practical ways to use Copilot in real development workflows, going beyond autocomplete. Agent mode, skills, Copilot CLI, and better prompting can make a real difference when working in messy repositories and under real deadlines. Designed for developers and tech leads who want more than flashy demos, this session shares concrete tactics to get better output, reduce noise, and make Copilot genuinely useful in day-to-day software delivery.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
