Data & Design Paris : Apéro pour se rencontrer 🍻
Bonjour à tous,
Le premier meetup Data & Design Paris aura lieu le 19 mars à Paris au Kilomètre Zéro, une microbrasserie juste à côté de République !
L’idée est simple : se rencontrer autour d’un verre et échanger dans une ambiance informelle.
Si vous travaillez ou vous intéressez à la data, au design, à la visualisation, au produit ou à l’UX, où que vous êtes juste curieux, vous êtes les bienvenus.
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer ! 🍻
CocoaHeads de Mars chez Apple
Retrouvez-nous pour une édition exceptionnelle chez Apple ! 🙌
Une pièce d'identité sera demandée, utilisez votre nom complet pour vous inscrire, pas de pseudo !
Au programme (les talks seront en français) :
\* Claire Sivadier - Who let the App intents out ? 🐾
Who says you need to open an app to use it? With App Intents, I tracked walks with my puppy 🐶 without taking out my iPhone. Learn how to extend your app beyond the UI using Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and widgets hands-free, in pure Swift.
\* Sebastien Stormacq - Swift, Serverside, Serverless
Swift developers can build full-stack apps purely in Swift with frameworks like Vapor or Hummingbird, but often resort to Node.js/Python/Java due to outdated perceptions. This talk celebrates 100% Swift across frontend (SwiftUI) and backend via AWS Lambda serverless: no server management, instant scaling, pay-per-use. Through live coding, we'll deploy an unmodified Hummingbird app and then build a native Swift Lambda functions for production endpoints.
\* Florent Morin - ClearSurgery: From zero to worldwide leader of spatial computing in operation room
Since day one, we’ve trusted Apple Vision Pro as the ideal platform to bring spatial computing into the operating room. We began with Swift on visionOS, expanded to embedded Swift, built tools across macOS, iPadOS, and iOS, and completed the stack with a Swift server. Every layer was optimized and accelerated with AI: the perfect partner for Swift. Today, we lead spatial computing in the operating room. This isn’t a vision. It’s reality in production.

Build-a-blockbuster - An improv Show in English
It's cinema... without a script.
Each night, the audience's ideas inspire four brand-new "films," performed live on stage. From epic fantasy to wacky westerns and painfully awkward rom-coms... you suggest it, the actors bring it to life!
After every round, the audience votes one story off the reel until only one survives... the blockbuster of the night!
Fast, funny, and unpredictable, this improv show turns movie magic into comedy mayhem.
The chaos is brought to you by Foreign Exchanged, a motley crew of international improvisers from all over the world — India, the US, Russia, Colombia, Lebanon, Moldova, France and beyond — making their way through Paris, one English faux pas at a time.
Come for the accents, stay for the laughter.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
