From Bootcamp to Production: What Changes in Real Engineering Teams
➡️➡️➡️ To register, [sign up on here](https://www.lewagon.com/events/from-bootcamp-to-production-what-changes-in-real-engineering-teams-O9kJLh) ⬅️⬅️⬅️
**Overview**
Bootcamp vs real engineering teams: learn what changes in production, what managers expect, and how to succeed as a junior developer.
**🚀 From Bootcamp to Production: What Changes in Real Engineering Teams**
Ever wondered what really changes when you move from a coding bootcamp into a professional engineering team?
This workshop pulls back the curtain on how software is *actually* built, shipped, and maintained in production environments.
We’re excited to host Eu-Loong, past Le Wagon student and an Engineering Manager from Eightcap, who will walk students through the real-world differences between learning to code and working as a professional software engineer.
**🎯 What This Workshop Is About**
Bootcamps teach you how to build features.
Real engineering teams focus on building systems that last.
In this session, we’ll explore what changes when you step into a production engineering environment, from code quality and collaboration to ownership and decision-making.
**🧠 What You’ll Learn**
* How engineering work differs between bootcamps and real companies
* What “production-ready” code really means
* How teams think about:
* Code reviews & pull requests
* Testing, monitoring, and reliability
* Technical debt and trade-offs
* The role of communication, documentation, and teamwork
* What Engineering Managers look for in junior developers
* Common mistakes early-career engineers make, and how to avoid them
**👩💻 Who This Is For**
This workshop is ideal for:
* Bootcamp students and recent graduates
* Computer science students
* Junior developers preparing for their first role
* Anyone curious about how real engineering teams operate
No advanced experience required, just curiosity and an interest in software engineering.
**🏢 About the Speaker**
Our speaker is a past Le Wagon student and Engineering Manager at Eightcap, a global fintech company, with hands-on experience leading real production teams and mentoring early-career engineers.
They’ll share practical insights from the industry, the kind you don’t usually get in tutorials or coursework.
**🗓 What to Expect**
* Real-world examples from production teams
* Honest insights (no buzzwords, no fluff)
* Time for Q&A with the speaker
* Actionable advice you can apply immediately
**✅ Why You Should Attend**
If you want to:
* Feel more confident transitioning into your first engineering role
* Understand what employers *actually* expect
* Learn how to think like a professional engineer

🎨 Street Art Photo Walk & Conversation - Fitzroy
Join us for a relaxed street art walk through Fitzroy, exploring laneways, murals, and hidden creative spots while enjoying easy, natural conversation along the way.
If you love photography, bring your camera or smart phone (charged) to snap some fun photos along the way. We often pose in front of our fave artworks. Be prepared to be silly with me 🤪… (optional of course)
This event is about moving at a comfortable pace, noticing what’s around us, and letting conversation unfold organically as we walk. There’s no need for art knowledge - curiosity is more than enough.
The walk has a **light structure to help things flow**, but nothing rigid. You’re welcome to chat as much or as little as you like and enjoy the experience in your own way.
After the walk, there will be the option to stay on for dinner nearby for anyone who’d like to continue the conversation (completely optional).
This event is best suited to adults **approx. 25–50 who are young-at-heart** and enjoy exploring the city, being outdoors, and connecting through shared experiences. Strict age limit = 18+
Recommendation: Download the "Street Art Cities" app which we will use to hunt down the art.
I've also made a booking for **6pm for 10** of us at El Camino Cantino. Please comment below if you're keen to stick around for dinner too.

Dancing, Brunch and Conversation - "Daybreaker" at Abbotsford Convent
### Meet time
**7:30am sharp – Meet outside Abbotsford Convent**
We’ll have around **15 minutes together *outside* (in front of BIKE SHED) before the event**, which is perfect for a **quick round of friendly introductions** and settling in as a group before heading into "Daybreaker".
### Daybreaker
**8:00am – 10:00am**
We’ll attend "**Daybreaker"** together – an alcohol-free morning dance experience designed to energise your body and mind and start the day feeling alive and present.
"Daybreaker" tickets are booked separately and can be purchased here:
[https://www.daybreaker.com/event/melbourne-02-07/](https://www.daybreaker.com/event/melbourne-02-07/)
No dance experience needed. Come as you are.
### Brunch + deeper conversation
After "Daybreaker" (10am), we’ll meet outside the BIKE SHED again, then head out for **brunch together** (optional but encouraged).
Depending on the group and availability, we may:
* Walk straight into the **Collingwood Children’s Farm Café**, or
* Take a longer walk to a nearby venue such as **Three Bags Full**, **Cam’s Kiosk**, or **Jinda Thai**
We’ll decide together on the day.
This is where there’s space to slow down and deepen conversations. After moving together, it’s often easier to connect and talk about:
* Your experience of Daybreaker
* Dance, music, art, or creativity
* Food, wellbeing, and living healthy
* Life in Melbourne and upcoming events
As with other **Good Conversations Club** events, you’re welcome to arrive exactly as you are.
There’s **no pressure to perform or talk constantly**.
I’ll have **conversation prompts available** that you’re welcome to use if you’d like — or not at all. They’re simply there to support ease, connection, and better conversations if you want them.
Brunch is where conversations naturally deepen and flow more easily.
### Who this event is for
This event tends to attract people who are **young at heart**, open-minded, and curious about life.
There’s no strict age range — you’ll likely meet people across different ages who:
* Enjoy movement, music, and shared experiences
* Value meaningful conversation over small talk
* Are open, respectful, and socially aware
If you’re comfortable in mixed-age groups and enjoy connecting beyond labels, you’ll likely feel at home.
### Important notes
* We’ll keep pre-event conversation light due to time
* Deeper conversations happen after Daybreaker over brunch
* "Daybreaker" tickets are purchased individually
* Brunch is pay-your-own
This event is about sharing an experience first, then enjoying meaningful, nourishing conversation afterwards.
**Movement first. Conversation after. Connection naturally.**
NOTE: For "Daybreaker"
### **Come ready to dance.**
### **Wear something that lets you move freely.**
### **Bring a water bottle and an open heart.**
### **Leave the rest at the door.**
### **We’ll see you on the dance floor.**
### **Door open at 7:40am**

Art (NGV), Dinner & Conversation (Women: young-at-heart)
If you’d enjoy a relaxed Sunday afternoon wandering through beautiful spaces, sharing thoughtful conversation, and ending the day over a lovely dinner — you’re warmly invited to join us.
This is a women-only gathering designed to make connection feel **easy, unforced, and nourishing**, with art, movement, and shared experience doing the heavy lifting.

### Gallery wander + conversation
**4:00pm – 5:00pm**
We’ll spend the afternoon **wandering a limited area of the NGV together**, moving at an easy pace and allowing conversations to unfold naturally as we explore.
This is a relaxed, unstructured wander — there’s no rush and no expectation to see everything. The gallery provides a beautiful backdrop for:
* Gentle conversation
* Reflections sparked by art and design
* Easy connections without small talk pressure
As with other **Good Conversations Club** events, you’re welcome to arrive exactly as you are.
I’ll have **conversation prompts available** that you’re welcome to use if you’d like — or not at all. They’re simply there to support ease, connection, and meaningful conversation if you want them.
### Walk to dinner
The NGV closes at **5:00pm**, so we’ll meet out front, then take a **short walk (approx. 10 minutes)** together towards Flinders Street Station.
### Dinner
**5:30pm – 7:00pm**
**Chocolate Buddha** (very close to Flinders Street Station)
Dinner is a chance to sit, slow down, and continue conversations over (shared?) food.
You’re welcome to join for the gallery wander only, or both — dinner is optional but encouraged.
### Who this event is for
This is a **women-only** event for those who are:
* Young at heart and open-minded
* Interested in art, culture, and meaningful conversation
* Comfortable in mixed-age groups
* Looking for connection without pressure or performance
There’s no strict age range — you’ll likely meet women across different life stages who value presence, curiosity, and good conversation. (In general, ages of people attending our events have been around 25-50 years)
### Important notes
* Entry to the NGV is free
* Dinner is pay-your-own
* Please arrive on time so we can begin together
* Comfortable shoes recommended for walking
This event is about **shared experience first**, followed by **nourishing conversation** — in beautiful surroundings, with ease.

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers
The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way?
This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents.
Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to:
Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture.
Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases.
Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI.
Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem.
Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

Lonnie Morgan will be presenting information about the DLT Library.
"The Python library `dlt` provides a powerful [REST API toolkit](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/rest_api/basic) to ingest data. Combined with our [LLM scaffolds](https://dlthub.com/workspace) and [MCP server](https://dlthub.com/docs/hub/features/mcp-server), you can build a custom connector for any of the 8k+ available sources in 10 minutes by following this guide. Building with LLMs is an iterative process. We will follow this general workflow and give practical tips for each step."

CBusData - Ok I Want to Get Data into Fabric - Now What?
I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.
