Hallo liebe Java User Group Mitglieder! Diesmal haben wir Nils Hartmann mit seinem Talk zum Thema "**[Spring Modulith](https://spring.io/projects/spring-modulith)**" zu Gast. Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen (virtuell oder vor Ort). * 18:00 Uhr: Einlass * 18:30 Uhr: Talk * ab 19:30: Ausklang des Abends Dank an [qSkills](https://qskills.de/) für Location, Bier und Pizza! \-\-\- Oft sollen Anwendungen in entkoppelten Modulen entwickelt werden, um Ordnung und Struktur in unseren Code zu bekommen und darüber Wartbarkeit zu garantieren. Microservices stellen dafür einen sehr konsequenten Ansatz dar, können aber auch eine hohe Komplexität mit sich bringen. “Monolithen” hingen sind vergleichsweise bequem in der Entwicklung, stehen aber im Verdacht, schnell zu einem unübersichtlichen “Big Ball of Mud” zu werden. Diesem Problem versucht “Spring Modulith” entgegenzutreten. Damit werden Spring Boot-Anwendungen in einer gemeinsamen Codebasis entwickelt (”monolithisch”), innerhalb dieser werden aber Module definiert ("modulitisch"), deren korrekte Verwendung anhand von Architekturregeln kontinuierlich überprüft und sichergestellt wird. Außerdem erweitert Spring Modulith das Spring-eigene Eventsystem, um auch zur Laufzeit für eine Entkopplung der Module zu sorgen. In diesem Live-Coding-Vortrag möchte ich anhand praxisnaher Beispiele eine Einführung in Spring Modulith geben und mit euch diskutieren, welche Konsequenzen sich für unsere Anwendungen daraus ergeben und für welche Szenarien dieser Ansatz besonders geeignet ist. \-\-\- Dein Vortrag bei der Java Usergroup Nürnberg! Hast du dich in letzter Zeit in deinem Projekt oder privat mit einem interessanten Thema beschäftigt? Vermutlich ist das nicht nur für dich selbst interessant! Hast du Lust, selber einmal einen Vortrag bei der Java-Usergroup Nürnberg zu halten? Wir sind nicht nur auf Java-Themen fokussiert, sondern beschäftigen uns gern mit und um alles über Software Entwicklung und IT. Wir wollen bei der JUG nicht nur bekannten Speaker\*innen eine Plattform geben und die neuesten State-of-the-Art Technologien vorstellen. Wir freuen uns auch besonders, wenn wir Themen aus unserem technologischen (Arbeits-)alltag Raum geben zu können. Melde dich gerne bei uns, wenn du dazu Lust hast, wir geben wenn gewünscht gerne auch Hilfestellung bei der Vorbereitung!

Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest! The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes) Our regular Buddhist meditations have proven popular with people who want to integrate authentic Buddhist methods into their daily lives. For the modern lay person who is juggling work, relationships, and an active role in society, we teach a meditation that is easy to learn, and profound and powerful for experienced practitioners. The meditation originates from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It has a cumulative effect on mind, leading to greater clarity and calmness. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the result of regular practice of Buddhist meditation. * Do I need any special clothing? No special clothing needed. * Does the attendance cost anything? No, the meditation is free.

**Több, mint egy közös sörözés.** Bár a jéghideg sör jó ürügy a találkozásra, a lényeg idén is a szakmán van: pörgős előadásokkal és az épp aktuális témákkal készülünk. Áprilisban szeretnénk összehozni a ServiceNow közösséget egy kötetlen estére, ahol a minőségi tartalom mellé most is jut bőven a jó hangulatból. Gyere el, és koccintsunk egyet! ❗️ **Az esemény ingyenes, de regisztrációhoz kötött:** [BeerUP ServiceNow Edition 2026 regisztráció](https://www.mndwrk.com/beerup-servicenow-edition-2026) ##### Az előadók, és az általuk hozott témák: Bözöri Dániel - Advisory Solution Architect (ServiceNow) Vígh Gergely- ServiceNow Architect CTA (Accenture) Boros Bulcsu - ServiceNow Architect CMA,CTA (Sofigate) Dombai András - ServiceNow Architect CMA (Rubico) **1\. előadás \-** **AI Agentek a ServiceNow platformon – mikor használjuk, mikor ne?** A ServiceNow és az AI fejlődése rengeteg új kaput nyit meg, de a generatív megoldások és az AI Agentek nem minden helyzetben jelentenek automatikusan jobb választ. Az előadás során azt járjuk körbe, hogyan lehet tudatosan, az üzleti értékre fókuszálva beépíteni ezeket a funkciókat a vállalati környezetbe. Megnézzük, milyen problémákra érdemes valóban AI-t használni, és hol hatékonyabbak a hagyományos workflow-k vagy szabályalapú megoldások. Szó lesz a technológiai korlátokról, a kockázatokról és arról a határvonalról, ami elválasztja a látványos tech-demót a valódi, hosszú távon is fenntartható üzleti értéktől. **2\. előadás \- Scoped Application mint belső szolgáltatás** Az előadás a ServiceNow Scoped Application koncepcióját mutatja be a modern mikroszolgáltatás-alapú szemlélet tükrében, rávilágítva arra, hogyan válthatóak valódi belső szolgáltatássá az elkülönített, jól menedzselhető alkalmazások. A résztvevők megismerhetik a moduláris és skálázható ügyféligények tervezésének módszertanát, valamint az Open API szabványokra és egyedi integrációkra épülő technikai szolgáltatások platformszintű előnyeit. A prezentáció gyakorlati útmutatást ad ahhoz, hogyan építhetőek strukturált, újrafelhasználható és könnyen karbantartható megoldások komplex ServiceNow környezetben. **3\. előadás \-** **Extension Points in Practice – hogyan tervezzünk jól és használjuk őket skálázhatóan?** Az extension pointok hatalmas szabadságot adnak, de ha félrecsúszik a tervezés, a megoldás hamar nehezen karbantarthatóvá és törékennyé válhat. A kérdés az, hogyan használjuk őket úgy, hogy valóban a skálázhatóságot szolgálják, és ne a technikai adósságot növeljük. Valós példákon keresztül nézzük meg a jól működő struktúrákat, a tipikus hibákat és azokat a bevált tervezési mintákat, amikkel hosszú távon is fenntartható marad az architektúra. Kiderítjük, hol van az a pont, ahol tényleg érdemes hozzájuk nyúlni, és mikor célravezetőbb más utat választani. **4\. előadás \- Adat és folyamat szeparáció a gyakorlatban** Az előadás betekintést nyújt banki környezetben, nemzetközi leányvállalati kiterjesztés kihívásaira , amit az adat és folyamat szeparáció koncepciójának bevezetésével támogattunk. A következő kérdések lesznek fókuszban: \- Hogyan lehet Domain Separation nélkül adatot és folyamatot leválasztani? \- Milyen esetekben lehet rá szükség? \- "Értem én\, hogy gőzgép\, de mi hajtja\!?"

One-day improv theatre workshop in English held in Budapest instructed by Abel Farkas. No acting experience is required. The event is organised by Flow Theatre. The workshop is from 9:45-17:00 (with a lunchbreak in the middle) Early Bird discount until the 31st of March. Registration is required to participate, and the class is limited to 14 participants. Please register using the link below: https://shop.flowszinhaz.hu/one-day-improv-theatre-workshop-with-abel-3/ Everybody has the ability to improvise. We do it in our everyday life. In theatre, others are watching us, and we feel we are required to perform well. This creates frustration within us and makes it difficult to act naturally. In improv, another obstacle is that we have no idea what our partner(s) will do and how we can create the connection between us. This uncertainty creates further frustration. During the workshops, we practice principles and methods which help us overcome and master these problems. The application of these methods go beyond theatre and could be useful in many areas of life, such as relationships, teamwork and communication. Instructor: Ábel Farkas, a reserach mathematician, magician and improv instructor. He has spent more than 10 years practicing improv theatre and studied it on three continents in English and Hungarian. Venue: Jurányi Produkciós Közösségi Inkubátorház, building A, at the end of the corridor on the 3rd floor (3. szint), the door on the left; the classroom of the Central European Irish Dance Academy (in Hungarian: Közép-Európai Ír Tánc Akadémia). ! Street shoes are not allowed in the rehearsal room. Instead, you may bring indoor shoes, slippers, socks or be barefoot. Comfortable clothes are recommended. Schedule: 9:45-13:00 workshop 13:00-13:50 lunch break 13:50-17:00 workshop After the workshop, we usually sit in the bar of Juranyi for a few drinks. All are very welcome! Price: Early Bird 16 500 HUF/person (if registered by 21st January) Normal 19 800 HUF/person The event is intended for adults, so we are only accepting registrations from adults. In cases of tardiness or behavior that hinders or disrupts group work, participation may be denied. The decision is at the trainer's discretion. In such situations, we are unable to refund the participation fee. After registration, the participation fee is non-refundable. Even if a participant is unable to attend, we are unable to issue a refund. In such cases, participation can be transferred to another person.

A different way to end the week. **Friday Sobers: The Tea Social** is a relaxed Friday evening gathering at Okuma — good tea, small bites, and easy conversation from 6 to 9PM.
