UI/UX Design

Hello à tous 👋 On a tous connu : \- Les tours guidés linéaires\. \- Les tooltips génériques\. \- Les checklists à cocher comme un formulaire administratif\. On connaît tous ce moment où un produit te “onboard”... et où tu fermes l’onglet 30 secondes plus tard. Le problème ? Ce n’est pas juste un mauvais onboarding. C’est que **le modèle d’onboarding qu’on utilise depuis 10 ans est devenu obsolète.** Pendant que nos produits deviennent plus complexes… les utilisateurs, eux, ont **moins de patience que jamais**. Alors comment amener un user à sa première valeur dans un monde où **l’IA redéfinit complètement l’expérience produit ?** C’est exactement ce qu’on va explorer dans ce talk. [Raphaël](https://www.linkedin.com/in/raalexandre/) (Cofounder & CPO chez **Jimo**) va partager une analyse sans filtre de l’onboarding produit aujourd’hui et surtout **comment il est en train de se transformer avec les agents et l’IA.** Au programme : * Pourquoi **l’onboarding traditionnel est en train de mourir** * Les **4 erreurs que même les meilleurs produits du monde font encore** * Le shift **PLG → ILG (Intelligence-Led Growth)** * Comment concevoir un onboarding **assisté par des agents** * Des **case studies réelles** d’équipes produit → Objectif : repartir avec **des frameworks actionnables** pour aider vos utilisateurs à atteindre la valeur plus vite et y rester plus longtemps. **📅 Quand et où ?** RDV le **24 mars à 18h45** **📍 Dans les locaux de Malou,** 5 Rue Cyrano de Bergerac, 75018 Paris **Inscris-toi vite** pour réserver ta place et rejoins-nous pour une session qui s’annonce aussi utile qu’inspirante. Merci à notre sponsor *[Contentsquare](https://contentsquare.com/fr-fr/)* 🙏

**Um was geht es dieses mal?** Dieses Mal haben wir zwei Talks für euch! **Performance und Portability in Data Analytics mit DuckDB & Co. - Niklas Niggemann** Moderne Data Teams kämpfen mit zwei Kernproblemen: Performance und Portability. Dieser Vortrag zeigt anhand umfassender Benchmarks von DuckDB, Polars und Pandas mit Datensätzen von wenigen Gigabyte bis zu mehreren Terabyte, wie Ausführungsmodelle, Dateiorganisation und Speicherverwaltung die Performance beeinflussen. DuckDB liefert konstant niedrigen Speicherverbrauch, Polars erreicht durch Parallelisierung hohe Geschwindigkeiten – doch sobald mehrere Engines „schnell genug" sind, zählt Flexibilität. Abschließend zeigen wir deswegen, wie Frameworks wie Ibis die analytische Logik von Engines entkoppeln und so lokale Entwicklung, Cloud-Deployment und Plattform-Migrationen ohne teure Neuentwicklungen ermöglichen. **Design Patterns - Wie sie dir helfen, ausdrucksstärkeren Code zu schreiben - Christian Ambach** Vor über 30 Jahren veröffentlichte die Gang-of-Four ihren Klassiker "Design Patterns. Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software". Viele der Muster erfreuen sich heute großer Beliebtheit und es sind eine Menge von Patterns dazugekommen, nicht nur auf Design-, sondern auch auf Architektur- und Organisationsebene. Wusstest Du, dass Du wahrscheinlich schon Design Patterns einsetzt, ohne es zu merken?In diesem Vortrag wird betrachtet, wie bekannte Frameworks und Bibliotheken – zum Beispiel das Spring Framework – auf Design Patterns setzen und wie die Teilnehmer diese Muster vielleicht schon ganz selbstverständlich in ihrem Code verwenden. Gemeinsam werfen wir einen Blick auf eine Auswahl von Design- und Architekturpatterns, entdecken Good und Bad-Practices und wie man Patterns gezielt einsetzen kann, um Code noch ausdrucksstärker zu machen. **Hybrides Setup!** Wir freuen uns, euch bei uns in den Räumen der codecentric AG in Dortmund willkommen zu heißen. Vor Ort versorgen wir euch mit Snacks und Getränken und freuen uns gleichzeitig über interessante Diskussionen und einen guten Austausch. Für alle, die es nicht zu uns ins Office schaffen, werden wir das Meetup Hybrid durchführen. Der Stream beginnt ca. 10 Minuten später, damit wir vor Ort ausreichend Möglichkeit für persönliches Kennenlernen haben. Den Live-Stream findet ihr auf dem [YouTube-Channel ](https://www.youtube.com/@codecentricAG)der codecentric AG. **Wichtig - Absage bitte rechtzeitig:** Wir bestellen das Essen bereits 3 Tage vor dem Meetup. Falls ihr doch verhindert sein solltet, bitten wir euch um eine rechtzeitige Absage. Das ist wichtig, damit wir nicht unnötig Essen verschwenden müssen. Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis! **Anreise:** Per Zug: Vom Dortmunder HBF sind es ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Mit dem Auto: Rund um das Office gibt es einige Parkflächen, dazu befinden sich in dem Parkhaus der Thier-Galerie weitere Parkplätze.

🇫🇷 Bonjour ! Nous avons le plaisir de vous convier au prochain **React Paris Meetup #13** le **mardi 24 mars à 19h**. Cette fois-ci, l'événement sera accueilli à **Neosoft**, au 3 Rue de Tolbiac, 75013 Paris, France. 🎤 Vous avez un sujet intéressant à partager ? Proposez vos talks directement sur notre dépôt GitHub ! 👉 https://github.com/ReactParis/talks *** 🇬🇧 Hello! We are excited to announce our next **React Paris Meetup #13** on **Tuesday, March 24 at 7 PM**. This time, we will be hosted by **Neosoft**, located at 3 Rue de Tolbiac, 75013 Paris, France. 🎤 Have a great topic to share? Feel free to propose your talks directly on our GitHub repository! 👉 https://github.com/react-paris/meetups *** ### Programme / Lineup : **Talk #1: Zustand, simple and performant state management, Arnaud Barré** Zustand est une librairie de state management pour React qui permet de contourner des limitations et des problèmes de performance que peuvent avoir useState ou les contexts. Je vous en présente l'utilisation que j'en fait depuis plus de 4 ans. *** **Talk #2: Liqvid: Vidéos intéractives avec React, Yuri Sulyma** Liqvid est un framework pour créer des vidéos intéractives avec React. Il est particulièrement visé aux tutoriels et aux cours. Je présenterai ses fonctionnalités, ses intégrations avec d'autres librairies (e.g. CodeMirror, THREE.js), et quelques-uns des défis particuliers de son développement. *** 🍻 Networking time after the talks

Le PAUG revient en force avec un programme dont on est vraiment fier. On a bossé dur pour vous préparer le bouquet final de la saison ! Accrochez-vous, ça va envoyer du lourd : ▶︎ 24 Mars : Meetup chez Swile ▶︎ 7 Avril : Meetup chez Leboncoin ▶︎ 9-10 avril : Android Makers 2026 avec un gros programme dans pile 1 mois On espère vraiment que ce programme plaira au plus grand nombre d'entre vous. On a hâte de vous y retrouver. Tous les talks seront en français 🇫🇷. L'enregistrement se fait en ligne sur la plateforme Meetup. Ne manquez pas cette opportunité d’apprendre, de partager et de rencontrer des passionnés de technologie dans une ambiance conviviale ! **Talk 1. Previews compose et test snapshots** *🫅Mathieu Hausherr* Comment tirer parti des previews compose pour garantir la non-régression sur une app. Détecter les changements plus facilement sans complexifier les tests. Fluidifier les tâches transverses comme la mise à jour du design système sans risques. **Talk 2. Comment Java et Kotlin jouent ensemble** *🫅 Ivan Canet* Nous savons tous que Java et Kotlin sont intéropérables : les deux langages peuvent appeler des fonctions de l'autre de manière transparente. Pour du code simple, la conversion est évidente—mais qu'en est-il de fonctionalités qu'un langage n'a pas ? Explorons comment chaque fonctionalité de Kotlin est transformée en concepts Javaistes : les fonctions inline, les coroutines, les lambdas, les exceptions, les fonction d'extensions, les propriétés, les value classes, les companion objects, etc. Si vous travaillez dans un projet complexe utilisant à la fois Java et Kotlin, ou si vous créez une bibliothèque Kotlin que les développeurs Java vont utiliser, c'est la talk pour vous !

Soixante-quatrième édition du C++ French User Group (C++Frug) Paris. Cette session sera hybride: * [MARGO](https://www.margo.com/) nous accueillera à La Défense, 19 Place des Reflets, Tour Aurore, 92400 Courbevoie * Streaming sur Discord **Pour rentrer, il faudra signer le listing.** Avant de venir, vous pouvez rejoindre les serveurs Discord ([https://discord.gg/tjx9bFpBfC](https://discord.gg/tjx9bFpBfC) & [https://discord.gg/9aU6tZabJV](https://discord.gg/9aU6tZabJV)). L'application Discord est plus stable que la version web. Programme provisoire de la soirée (heure de Paris): * 19h00 Welcome * 19h15 News of the C++ ecosystem * 19h20 Lightning talks * 19h50 Snacks & drinks * 20h20 Arnaud Becheler - Un algorithme de Louvain générique pour la Boost Graph Library * 21h10 Thibault Ricord-Marchal - Modern Error Handling Si vous êtes intéressé pour présenter, vous pouvez nous joindre via Discord ou MP meetup. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Arnaud Becheler** **Un algorithme de Louvain générique pour la Boost Graph Library** Une grande partie des données du monde proviennent d'interactions sur des réseaux. Une question naturelle est de savoir si ces réseaux se structurent en communautés d'interactions plus fortes. Après avoir posé l’intuition mathématique de la détection de communautés et de la partition d'un graphe, nous montrons comment évaluer la qualité d'une telle partition. Nous présentons ensuite l'algorithme de Louvain, populaire, qui optimise cette qualité pour identifier les communautés les plus pertinentes. La seconde partie de l’exposé porte sur les choix de conception d’une implémentation générique au sein de la Boost Graph Library : comment concevoir une API qui reste agnostique à la structure du graphe, à la fonction de qualité et aux critères de terminaison. Nous concluons par une série de benchmarks comparant notre implémentation à d’autres implémentations populaires sur des graphes synthétiques, en discutant les compromis entre généricité, performance et reproductibilité numérique \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Thibault Ricord-Marchal - Modern Error Handling** std::expected allows new ways of handling errors. Which error handling strategy to pick depending on use cases?

**——————————** **Event Description:** **——————————** Welcome product enthusiasts! We're a meet-up group that hosts regular speaking events for those interested in the world of **digital products** and **doing things differently!** Each meet-up features new guests from some of the most influential product companies around the world, providing unique insights, tangible ideas, and new techniques to help drive change from the inside out. **————————** **Event Format:** **————————** This is a **hybrid** event, offering the option to come along in person or join us from anywhere in the world online! **————** **Venue:** **————** 🚨 We are at Wrap co-working Brighton, a stone's throw from the station. We're looking forward to seeing you there! 🚨 **————————** **Our Supporters:** **————————** Our March event is supported by **[MPB](https://www.mpb.com/en-uk)** the world’s leading platform for buying, selling and trading used photography and videography equipment, making kit more accessible and sustainable for creators everywhere. And as always our friends at **[Silicon Brighton](https://siliconbrighton.com/)**, whose mission is to put Brighton on the map as a technology hub, spotlighting the region for talent and investment. **————————** **Our speakers:** **————————** **Steve Down** **Steve Down is a Senior Product Manager at Channel 4, specialising in building high performing streaming apps for the biggest screen in the home.** He’s spent years shaping TV experiences at major UK broadcasters, tackling platform fragmentation, performance constraints and all the quirks that make doing product on TV Apps a whole world of its own. He regularly writes and speaks about the realities of Connected TV product development, sharing lessons from building and scaling TV apps across diverse platforms and fast changing user behaviours. His industry contributions unpack everything from platform limitations and UX challenges to experimentation gaps and the future of big screen viewing. **————————** **About the Talk:** **————————** **Behind the Streams: The untold story of TV App Product Management** Forget what you know about doing Product Management on web and mobile - TV is a whole different ball game. You’re juggling dozens of platforms & stakeholders, designing for a lean-back user experience, and working in an environment where optimal performance is everything. Add in the giants like Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube as competitors, and standing out gets tough. **In this session, Steve will pull back the curtain on:** \- What makes TV product management so different \- The skills you need to succeed in streaming \- How you can break into one of the most exciting areas in product today If you’ve ever thought about working in streaming or just want to know what happens behind the biggest screen in the house, this talk is for you. **Raff Di Meo** Senior Product Design Manager at Optimizely. Raff has spent over 10 years designing products across startups, agencies, and enterprise SaaS, including a startup acquisition. Today, he's a Senior Product Design Manager at Optimizely, where he leads a team of designers reshaping how marketing teams create content across the web. He's an active speaker in the UX community and writes Some Designers on Substack, championing inclusivity and supporting designers through a profession that won't sit still. **————————** **About the Talk:** **————————** **When too easy to use becomes a problem: from e-commerce returns to AI in design** A few years ago, Raff designed a returns flow for an e-commerce product. It was fast, frictionless, and users loved it. It also helped normalise a behaviour that cost businesses millions and generated thousands of tonnes of waste. By every metric tracked, it was a success. By every metric not tracked, it was a disaster. Today, the same pattern is playing out. Not just in the products we design, but in how we design them. Teams are reshaping their entire process around AI tools that can't even retain their own users. We're told the old ways are dead. Move faster. Ship more. Trust the tools. In this talk, Raff will share what the returns project taught him about the gap between a successful design and a responsible one, and how those lessons are shaping how his team is navigating AI right now: what they're using, what's genuinely working, and what they're deliberately protecting. You'll leave with three things you can take back to your team: why understanding the problem still comes first, how to explore with AI without losing your craft, and a dead-simple habit for catching unintended consequences before they ship. **——————————** **About your hosts:** **——————————** Product Unleashed is brought to you by your hosts **[John Griffin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-griffin-designer/)** and **[Dominic Port](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-port/)**. The duo have worked on the design of products of all shapes and sizes and bring their energy and enthusiasm to this unique meetup, packed with great guests and knowledge - for anyone interested in levelling up their game in the world of products.

🔎 L'intelligence artificielle ne se contente plus d'assister les développeurs. Elle redessine en profondeur la façon dont on conçoit, déploie et gouverne les systèmes numériques tout en s'alimentant d'une ressource devenue plus précieuse que jamais : nos données. Le jeudi 26 mars, [Cybersup](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cybersup/) vous invite à un afterwork gratuit autour de deux talks d'experts pour explorer cette transformation sous deux angles complémentaires : celui du développeur et celui du citoyen numérique. Au programme : 🛡️ Talk Cyber - Surveillance numérique et économie de la donnée, présenté par [Raphael ATTIAS](https://www.linkedin.com/in/raphael-attias-b3090b298/) (RAPATT) – Head of Security & Infrastructures chez [Mintera](https://www.linkedin.com/company/mintera-co/) Chaque clic, chaque déplacement, chaque application alimentent un écosystème de profilage ultra-précis. Lors de ce talk, nous explorerons comment nos traces numériques volontaires et involontaires construisent un double numérique dont la valeur peut atteindre plusieurs dizaines de milliers d'euros et ce que ça implique concrètement. 📊 Talk Data - IA & Architecture logicielle présenté par [Chrys Fé-Marty NIONGOLO](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrys-f%C3%A9-marty-niongolo-410770153/) \- IA & DevOps Engineer chez [Atos](https://www.linkedin.com/company/atos/) Génération de code, copilotes IA, automatisation des pipelines data… Le rôle du développeur évolue vers celui d'un architecte qui orchestre systèmes, modèles et flux de données. Comment mesurer la vraie valeur de l'IA dans un projet ? Quels impacts sur les équipes et la gouvernance technique ? Retours concrets et pistes stratégiques. La soirée se poursuivra autour d'un moment de networking entre professionnels du secteur. 👉 Places limitées - inscrivez-vous dès maintenant : https://www.cybersup.ai/evenements/afterwork-26-mars

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

**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. **YouTube Link** TBA
