Python Web Development Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
WebAssembly and Embedded Software Development
**About**
Would your embedded product benefit from application logic updates that do not require changes to the full firmware? Or a mechanism for your customers to tweak and extend the functionality of the product? Using their favourite language(s), without proprietary tooling? And all that while your product stays secure, no matter how creative said customers get?
WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) might be exactly what you are looking for.
Join us this evening to learn about the state of the art of running WebAssembly on MCUs, and to experience a practical example of a real world, production grade embedded code base targeting WebAssembly and running in a browser.
Merging the two approaches is then left to the visitors as a take-home exercise.
**Presentations**
1. 15’: Welcome (Urs/Reto and SCS)
2. 40’: Browser technology on the MCU? Introduction to WebAssembly, overview of existing embedded runtimes, use cases, discussion. (Pascal Mainini)
3. 30’: Unlocking Bluetooth Connectivity in Browsers: From Sensors to Audio (Matthias Ringwald)
Presentations start at 19:00. Afterwards we’ll have plenty of time to discuss and socialize.
**About the speakers**
* [Pascal Mainini](https://mainini.ch/) is a teacher and researcher at [Berner Fachhochschule](https://www.bfh.ch/en/about-bfh/people/kkmsprgzbqc2/), focussing on the security of embedded systems and the Internet of Things.

Poolside Chats: Design, Engineering, & UX
Hi! I’m Stephanie, a product designer based in Zurich.
I’m looking to build a community of curious designers, developers, product managers, and other creative technologists who enjoy thoughtful conversations outside the usual networking events, conferences, and office spaces.
This summer, we’ll meet at local Badis and neighborhood pools around Zurich to relax, connect, and share ideas in a casual setting. Bring a passion project, a problem you’re thinking about, an interesting article, a new tool, or simply your perspective.
Topics might include:
* Design, technology, and product thinking
* Ethical, responsible, and sustainable uses of AI
* Creativity, learning, and personal projects
* Philosophy, culture, and the future of digital products
The goal isn’t pitching, recruiting, or performing expertise. It’s creating a welcoming space to exchange ideas, practice communicating them, and learn from one another without judgment.
If spending less time in meeting rooms and more time having meaningful conversations by the water sounds appealing, I’d love to meet you.
See you poolside.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
