Test Driven Development

Figma je prý mrtvá. AI prý nahradí designéry. A FE developer prý teď zvládne UX sám — stačí správný prompt. Nebo je to naopak? Máme Figmu, máme designéra — nepotřebujeme FE developera.

**Um was geht es dieses mal?** **Barrierefreiheit automatisiert testen - Anna Maier (codecentric)** "Barrierefreiheit – ein Produkt für alle nutzbar machen - ist ein komplexes Thema. Bei der Entwicklung barrierefreier Software müssen viele Anforderungen berücksichtigt werden. Ein großes Problem ist, dass das Testen ein weitgehend ein manueller Prozess ist. Das kollidiert mit den schnellen Veröffentlichungszyklen moderner Software. Wie können wir unser Tempo beibehalten und gleichzeitig sicherstellen, dass das Produkt zugänglich bleibt? In diesem Vortrag gebe ich euch das Handwerkszeug, um euch in Hinblick auf Barrierefreiheit besser abzusichern. Dabei lernen wir zunächst automatische Tools und ihre Möglichkeiten und Grenzen kennen. Danach schauen wir auf Strategien zum Schreiben eigener Tests mit gängigen Testframeworks. Abschließend schauen wir uns an, wie KI uns in dieser Hinsicht unterstützen kann" **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.

**🎟️ REGISTER [HERE](https://luma.com/mewsrnd-whenaileavesthelab) TO SECURE YOUR SPOT AT THE EVENT 🎟️** Frontier AI models are evolving quickly, but the real challenge is no longer just building larger systems, it is turning advances in LLM research into reliable, efficient, and valuable products in the real world. ​ We invite you to join a panel discussion featuring experts working across AI research and engineering, who will share their perspectives on what actually matters in the next wave of LLM development. The conversation will explore the trade-offs between scale, efficiency, reasoning, and product impact, as well as what it takes to move from experimental models to systems that can be deployed at scale. The discussion will be moderated by **[Rogers Leo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rogersjeffreyl/?utm_source=luma), Director of Engineering and Product (Agentic AI) at [Mews](https://www.mews.com/en?utm_source=luma).** ​This panel will go beyond the hype and focus on practical lessons from building with LLMs today. We will look at where current approaches break down, what “good enough” really means in production, and why efficiency and system design may matter as much as model capability. ​ **Panelists:** **[Karol Lasocki](https://www.linkedin.com/in/karol-lasocki-1a86b2151/?utm_source=luma)**, Senior Machine Learning Engineer at **[BottleCap AI](https://www.bottlecapai.com/?utm_source=luma)** **[Luděk Matyska](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ludek-matyska/?utm_source=luma)**, AI Lead at **[ROUVY](https://rouvy.com/?utm_source=luma)** **[Soheyla Mirshahi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/soheyla-mirshahi-phd/?utm_source=luma),** AI Governance & Product Leader at **[T-Mobile](https://www.t-mobile.com/)** ​**Agenda:** 18:00 Doors open 18:30 Panel discussion + Q&A 19:30 Networking **🎟️ REGISTER [HERE](https://luma.com/mewsrnd-whenaileavesthelab) TO SECURE YOUR SPOT AT THE EVENT 🎟️** \-\-\-\-\-\- Photographs and video recordings may be taken during this event for documentation and promotional purposes, including use on websites, social media, and other communication channels.

**Léto klepe na dveře a před námi je poslední pražský předprázdninový meetup. Než začnete se svým agentem řešit, kam na dovolenou a co si vzít s sebou, a vyměníte prompty za offline čtení na pláži, stavte se pro poslední dávku nápadů! 🤖☀️🔥** Pohodový večer, kde to nebude o tom, že nás AI nahradí, ale o tom, co s ní reálně zvládneme líp. Jako vždy odstartujeme Nowwwinkami a pak se ponoříme do programu, který stojí za odložení dovolenkových plánů o jeden večer. Přijďte si pro poslední nálož inspirace, než pošlete své agenty na virtuální pláž a všechno utichne v dovolenkovém a okurkovém režimu. ☀️🏝️🥒 **Hlavní line-up** 🤩 * 🟢 18:00 otevíráme dveře v **CDN77** * 1️⃣ 18:30 **Nowwwinky** od Tomáše Kouta * 2️⃣ 19:00 **Mezistavy: React nechce, abyste řešili async** od Adama Kováře * 3️⃣ 19:30 **Vibecoding 280+ dní poté** od Jana Honzy Černého a.k.a. chemiXe * 4️⃣ 20:00 **Co mi chybí v** **BEM** (lightning talk) od Jirky Cerhana * 🎓 80+ nadšených účastníků * 🍻 a v neposlední řadě kvalitní networking \-\-\- 1️⃣ Tomáš Kout se svými **Nowwwinkami** jako obvykle otevře večer svým přehledem toho nejzajímavějšího z poslední doby. \-\-\- 2️⃣ Následuje přednáška na téma **Mezistavy: React nechce, abyste řešili async** od [Adama Kováře](https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-kov%C3%A1%C5%99-0905a0169/) z [CDN77](https://www.cdn77.com/) Většina interakcí v UI je asynchronní, spinner browser tabu nám už nestačí a frameworky stále hledají řešení. Odpověď React teamu je, že async řešit nemusíte, alespoň ne tak jako doposud. Ukažme si, jak toho chtějí docílit pomocí transitions a action patternu. Adam o sobě: *„Mám rád otevřený a rychlý web, přesto posledních 6 let vyvíjím v Reactu. Věřím, že RSS je technologie budoucnosti a ve volném čase luštím křížovky.“* \-\-\- 3️⃣ Přednáškový blok uzavře [Jan Honza Černý a.k.a. chemiX](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chemix/) příspěvkem **Vibecoding 280+ dní poté** ...a pak přišel vibe coding. Najednou stačilo pár vět do chatu a před očima začaly vznikat funkční prototypy rychlostí blesku. Jenže to nebyli jen prototypy. CEO, manažer, grafik dostali nástroj kterým začali plevelit codebase a vibecode apokaplypsa začala... Tato přednáška ukáže, co jsme se za více jak 280 dní naučili. Jak s apokalypsou bojovat. Jak předcházet nakažení. Jak se bránit proti nákaze. A jaké jsou příznaky nakažení nejen kódu, ale i u lidí. To celé trošku s nadsázkou a hlavně otvírákem k diskuzi u piva. Jan o sobě: *„Digitální alchymista – rád zkoumá substituce UX, UI, AI, frontendu i backendu. Všude i nikde. Offline mísí s online. Tam, kde klávesnice končí, začínají kostky a karty. Spoluorganizátor technických meetupů po celé České republice, klid hledá u rydel nebo v lese.“* \-\-\- 4️⃣ A na závěr v odlehčeném duchu naservírujeme lightning talk na téma **Co mi chybí v** **BEM** od [Jirky Cerhana](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jiri-cerhan/) ze [SiteOne](https://www.siteone.cz) BEM metodiku pro organizaci CSS většina z nás důvěrně zná. Ve své praxi jsem ale narazil na pár míst, kde to maličko skřípe. S nástupem CSS custom properties se nabízejí nová řešení, která posunou přehlednost a snadnou modifikaci komponent o úroveň výš. **Máte zájem se připojit do bloku ⚡️Lightning talk(s) taky?** Napište a zajistěte si své místo ještě na této akci. \-\-\- Neváhejte s registrací a zabookujte si místo – bude to stát za to! 🎉 👉 Pro další zajímavé novinky a dění sledujte kanály komunity na [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@FrontendistiCz), [X](https://x.com/Frontendisti), [Facebooku](https://www.facebook.com/frontendisti/), [Instagramu](https://www.instagram.com/frontendisti/), [LinkedInu](https://www.linkedin.com/company/frontendisti/posts/?feedView=all) nebo navštivte [náš web](https://www.frontendisti.cz).

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Each class in this series has an attendance fee. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. 4. As the Etch toolset evolves, so too will the class outline below. **Introduction:** Our Site Building with Etch class provides detailed instructions on the philosophy of the Etch development framework, as well as in-depth, hands-on instruction on using the Etch environment and associated tools. Anyone familiar with Kevin Geary and the Digital Gravy set of products will tell you that they offer ground-breaking approaches to professional WordPress site development. As we write this, the Etch toolset and environment are rapidly taking shape, with weekly quantum leaps forward in WordPress development methodologies. As early investors in the Etch product offering and its development process, we are actively testing and evaluating the toolset as it takes shape. We are beyond excited to see how WordPress site development is being modernized, and can't wait to bring this course set to you. It will be a paradigm shift in page and site development within WordPress, as well as moving your development mindset light-years forward. Join us as we explore Etch and dive deep into development approaches that will genuinely elevate your craft as a website developer and agency provider.
