Dear Java developer, We would like to invite you to a physical Java Meetup powerd by Craftsmen in Apeldoorn about Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build by Ko Turk and Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture by Michel Schudel **Location** STOOM Vlijtseweg 114 7317 AG Apeldoorn Movie for route: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8XwbB6APsM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8XwbB6APsM) Maps: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/bHihYysxXp71aQjP7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/bHihYysxXp71aQjP7) **Program** (UTC +1) 17:30 Doors open 18:00 Food & networking 18:45 **Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture** by Michel Schudel 19:30 Break 19:45 **Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build** by Ko Turk 20:30 Networking & drinks 21:15 Doors closed **Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture** Clean Architecture is about separating concerns within your application to keep it maintainable, scalable, and testable. Some call it onion architecture, others call it hexagonal, but in the end they all aim for the same goal: protecting your domain logic from the messy outside world. But how does this work in practice? In this session, we'll build a Spring Boot application together using the principles of Clean Architecture. We'll use the Spring Boot Test framework for clean integration tests and ArchUnit to ensure our squeaky-clean application stays that way by enforcing architectural boundaries. After this session you've learned what Clean Architecture is, and how you can leverage your own applications with it. **Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build** Ahoy, Maven Pirates! Gather around, for I have a treasure of knowledge to share with ye salty dogs. ☠️ Ye be hearin' about this thing called 'Build Caching'? It’s a secret weapon that can make yer ship (build) sail faster than a seagull catchin' the wind! How does it work, ye ask? Well, add an extension to the project file in the "pom" ye mateys call it. But don't think it's all smooth sailin' from there. Nay, ye need to do a bit of work on the pipeline too. Arr, we be talkin' about addin' a remote (cache) server to the settings file, and then ye be sayin' goodbye to them extra (rum with) coffee breaks. ☕️ By makin' a few simple tweaks, we give yer build a mighty fine boost! And ye be learnin' all about them Maven lifecycles too! We will show how to improve yer tests and run them in parallel, like enterin’ a ship. ⚡️ But hear me out, me hearties, for this be no ordinary treasure of knowledge. Nay, this is reserved for a select few, the likes of ye who be joinin' this session. So, keep yer lips sealed, and don't be tellin' a soul about this secret, aye? **Ko Turk** Ko Turk is a Software Architect, Java Engineer, and Community Builder with more than 15+ years of experience in development, architecture, speaking, and building communities.

The leprechauns have clearly interfered with the calendar and somehow pushed St. Patrick’s Day onto a Tuesday, right when we already had a meetup scheduled. **Suspicious, yet very fortunate.** ☘️ So this week, our usual Tuesday drinks go even moar Irish. Join us for a slightly chaotic, very friendly evening with locals, expats, regulars, newcomers for random conversations, and the usual Utrechters social magic. No forced networking, no corporate energy. Just people meeting people, having drinks, talking nonsense, sharing stories, and maybe collecting a few new friends on the way. **Imporant:** Wear some green. Seriously. Put effort level anywhere between "full saint mode" and "I found one green sock". Green shirts, green hats, green chaos, all welcome. And **BIG** kudos to the bar staff for still having us. They are super nice, patient, and somehow continue to tolerate our weekly appearance that sometimes ends in bulk cocktail orders. Please be nice back to them and order at least one drink. 🍻 What to expect: * locals + expats * very busy bar * community ages roughly 20 to 60, average somewhere around 30 * free to join, voluntary, low-pressure, human-friendly If you have ideas for future events, tell us. This group is not just for Tuesday drinks. The goal is to build a proper community for all kinds of activities. Join the WhatsApp group: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/GopSuzuFKRBKeYVKQrX4pE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GopSuzuFKRBKeYVKQrX4pE) Come have a drink, wear something green, and help us give this Tuesday a bit of Irish nonsense. ☘️

#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Focus Filmtheater): you can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session# **Title**: Joe Speedboot **Language**: Dutch **Subtitles**: English **Length**: 96 min **Director**: Sam de Jong **More info**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/english-subs-joe-speedboot/ **Ticket link**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/english-subs-joe-speedboot/ **Synopsis**: Sam de Jong (*Met Mes*) ventures into a punky and energetic film adaptation of Tommy Wieringa’s bestseller. After a bizarre accident leaves Fransje Hermans confined to a wheelchair, he seems doomed to spend his days in the sleepy village of Lomark. But then Joe Speedboot arrives. Fransje can no longer move or speak as a result of his accident, and with only one functioning arm, his life seems hopeless. This changes when he forms an unlikely friendship with the charismatic and reckless newcomer Joe. Will Joe help Fransje realize his passionate dreams and satisfy his desire for the enchanting PJ, or is he just another project for the adventure-seeking Joe? **How it works**: I will be at Focus around 18:30, where we can meet before the movie starts. You can message me to find us. Screening starts at 19:00. After the movie, we can have a drink together. Hope to see you soon!
