Let's meet up and speak English in Kings Cross!
This is a mini-group class for a small number of English students (minimum 2, maximum 4) so that everyone gets lots of opportunity to speak and be corrected. We switch topics as the conversation flows, so that you can get used to talking about a variety of subjects and build your confidence, grammar and vocabulary. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and you'll meet new people to practice with. Look forward to seeing you there!
City Street Photography Walk: Barbican to St. Dunstan in the East
On this relaxed, social photo walk, we will explore the City's contrasting architecture in the afternoon sun. Beginners and experienced photographers are all welcome.
* **The Barbican Centre:** We begin at this iconic brutalist playground, working with its maze of highwalks, geometric lines, textures, and pockets of light.
* **St. Paul’s & One New Change:** Next, we'll capture various vantage points of the famous cathedral and shoot a mix of modern and old architecture.
* **The Northbank Path:** Heading toward our final stop, we’ll take this quieter, less-frequented alternative to the Southbank for scenic cityscape views of the Shard and Tower Bridge.
* **St. Dunstan in the East:** We’ll finish at this bombed ruined church garden—a secret gothic oasis in the middle of the city where nature has overtaken the architecture, offering incredible light filtering through the ruins and makes for stunning creative photographs.
Whether you love to shoot architecture, candid street scenes, or just experiment with the light creatively, there will be plenty to work with.
Please note that this is not a teaching workshop event. However, if you have any street photography questions or need advice during the walk please feel free ask me. As an extra bonus I've created a Street Photography Cheat-Sheet available for free download for members.
Optional. We will end the photo walk at a pub or cafe for a quick drink for those who wish to regroup socially post walk.

Speakers
===
**Sang Young Noh**
**Talk title:** FerrumMD: Building a Molecular Dynamics Engine in Rust
**Abstract:** FerrumMD is a molecular dynamics engine written in Rust, built to explore high-performance scientific computing from first principles. The project implements core simulation components, including Lennard-Jones interactions, periodic boundary conditions, Verlet integration, velocity rescaling, and electrostatics via Particle Mesh Ewald. It aims to bridge computational chemistry, systems programming, and extensible design for future free-energy workflows.

LJC Meet-up at Redis
**Please register on [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ljc-meet-up-at-redis-tickets-1989301512374) join this event.**
**About this event**
The LJC is delighted to be partnering with our sponsor **Redis** for an exciting meetup!
This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn, network and enjoy great food together.
Huge thanks to our friends at **Redis** for sponsoring this event and supporting our Community.
**Agenda:**
**5:30pm:** Doors open
**6pm:** LJC and Redis intros
**6:10pm:** Samuel Agbede: Designing Production-Ready Multi-Agent Systems with Spring AI
**7pm:** Break & food
**7:30pm:** Leif Åstrand: UI with Redis and Vaadin using 100% Java
**8:15pm:** Networking
**9pm:** Event finish
**Speaker One:** Samuel Agbede,
**Title:** Designing Production-Ready Multi-Agent Systems with Spring AI
**Synopsis:**
Exploring how Redis can go beyond traditional caching to support semantic caching, intelligent routing, and short-lived application memory in AI-driven Java systems.
**Speaker Bio:**
Software Engineer and Developer Advocate at Redis focused on AI agents and memory systems. Samuel explores how context, retrieval and state shape intelligent behaviour in real-world applications.
**Speaker Two:** Leif Åstrand
**Title:** UI with Redis and Vaadin using 100% Java
**Synopsis:** Full-stack development can be intimidating, especially when going beyond the typical CRUD. A reactive application with real-time updates requires knowing things like WebSockets on top of the regular frontend stuff. But what if you could build a full-featured full-stack web app using only straightforward Java? No JavaScript, no HTML, no CSS. Just Java.
Join this live coding session to discover how to develop a reactive web app using Spring Boot, Redis and Vaadin. Starting from scratch, we'll cover everything: real-time updates, external services, and a good-looking UI. All in Java.
**Speaker Bio:**
Leif has been working with full-stack web application development in various ways for the past 20 years. Building applications, building frameworks for building applications, and in the last few years mainly working to understand what it takes to build applications. Works at Vaadin in areas related to product management, research, architecture and product development.
This event is organised by [RecWorks](https://recworks.co.uk/ "https://recworks.co.uk/") on behalf of the London Java Community.
The London Java Community is sponsored by Hazelcast, Neo4j, Redis, and Discover

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**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**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

Prompting Is Not Magic: How to Give AI Better Context
Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless.
But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one.
We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows.
No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with.
**What you’ll learn:**
* Why “better prompting” is really about better context
* How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers
* How to use examples, constraints, and output formats
* How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough
* How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows
This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
