Spring is in the air and time for another edition of .NET Skåne! Join us at The Tribe's new offices at Skeppsbron in Malmö! UPDATE: Slight schedule change due to sickness **IMPORTANT**: If you have signed up to the event but can't make for some reason please cancel your spot in good time before the event so the spot is free for someone else to attend. **Agenda:** **WebAPI: MVC vs MinimalAPI vs FastEnpoints** (Johan Olsson) When building a REST API in ASP.NET Core, you can choose between Controllers (MVC), Minimal APIs, and FastEndpoints. In this talk, we’ll explore the differences between these approaches and discuss when you might choose one over the others. **Lightning talk: Why should a .NET developer care about WebAssembly beyond the browser?** (Adam Mrozek) WebAssembly is a portable, sandboxed execution layer with growing relevance for backend and cloud scenarios. In this talk, we’ll explore how .NET runs on WASM and what the runtime model looks like. We will look at use cases like: secure plugins, multi-tenant systems, and custom business logic. Finally, we will see why this technology is becoming increasingly important outside the browser. **Demystifying authentication in ASP.NET Core** (Tore Nestenius) In this talk, we’ll explain how authentication works in ASP.NET Core, which can be complicated and have many different parts. We’ll cover the main ideas, such as schemas, handlers, ClaimsPrincipal, claims, challenges, session cookies, and more. It will be a practical, in-depth look at how authentication actually works under the hood. **About the Speakers:** [Johan Olsson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jolsson800) Johan is a software architect/developer with extensive experience within the IT-industry. He started coding back in the dark ages (the early eighties) and hasn’t stopped yet. Learning new things and sharing knowledge is as important to him as beer. Life is meaningless without it.

We are a group of people meeting on Tuesdays to socialize around cooking and eating together. Usually around 40-50 people. Many are international students, but also other people join. The foodclub exist independent of Meetup, we invite you because we have room for a few more people. The food is vegan and made from donated leftover veggies from a local greengrocery. The place has originally hosted leftwing activist groups, and many of the people joining are also involved in political groups. If you want to join for chopping and cooking, we will be doing that from 3 to 6 pm. It is possible to join part of the time. From 6:30 to 8pm we are serving food. Donation around 30 kroner. If you are helping out some hours, chopping, cooking or cleaning, you can eat for free. From 8 to 9 - 9:30 pm we are cleaning up the place. We hope to see you in our lovely foodclub <3

Join us for an inspiring session exploring the intersection of data science and democratic transparency. In an age where political processes can often feel opaque, how can we use modern network analysis to understand the complex ties binding politicians, lobbyists, and decision-makers together? Network analysis provides a digital "X-ray vision" for our democracy. Rather than focusing on isolated headlines, this technique allows us to map the underlying patterns of power and influence that truly shape our society. In this meetup, we move beyond abstract theory to explore the practical ways technology can be used to strengthen democratic values. We will dive into: * **Mapping the EU Lobbying Landscape:** Insights from network analysis of meeting activity between politicians and lobbyists at both the European Parliament and Commission levels. * **The Architecture of Power:** How we can visualize and understand the frequency and reach of interest groups and their access to the political system. * **Transparency in Practice:** How data-driven techniques empower journalists, researchers, and citizens to hold decision-makers accountable and gain a deeper understanding of legislative processes. **About the Speakers:** **Inge-Maria Falbe-Maier** and **Marie Jessen Skau** have developed a deep focus on leveraging data and network analysis to uncover the dynamics of political influence. Through their recent research project, they have mapped and analyzed the meeting activities between politicians and lobbyists within the European Union's key institutions. By examining datasets from the European Parliament and the European Commission, they bring a fresh, data-driven perspective to how we can uncover "hidden networks" and use technical analysis to foster a more informed public. Come prepared for a constructive dialogue on how we can learn from these analytical approaches to build a more transparent, resilient, and connected digital future. We look forward to seeing you there!

**Co-working for writers in Amager!** Join us for an hour of focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in the area. We meet in this lovely spacious café, chilled out, usually not very busy at this time, with an on-site bakery of delicious pastries. Once everyone is here and settled, I will lead a quick introduction, and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. After the hour is up feel free to chat / take off / keep writing if you're on a roll. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers, and it can be a great way to learn from eachother. **A note about the format** We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing. For our full event schedule, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com) **Practical Details:** WiFi name / password: Kasada / haveaniceday Travel / Parking info: Kasada is just a few minutes walk from Lergravsparken Metro Station. We've reserved the large round table in the main room, with power outlets if you need one. Venue Guidelines: Please thank our hosts by purchasing something.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: - 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros. - Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour. - After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

Welcome back to another Malmö AI Devs Meetup! Please note that this meetup will be held at a different location than usual. This time, we’ll be at Valvet. **The talk:** Claude Code, MCP, Tools, Hooks, Skills... OMG! AI coding agents are everywhere, but the jargon is piling up fast. Claude Code, MCP, tools, hooks, skills, system prompts, context windows... what does it all actually mean, and how do the pieces fit together? In this session, we'll cut through the buzzwords and look at what really happens when a coding agent works on your behalf. Using the open-source Coding Agent Explorer, we'll observe a live coding agent in action and watch the actual API calls, tool invocations, MCP traffic, and hook events as they happen in real time. You'll walk away with a solid mental model of how a coding agent actually works, from the first prompt to the final code change, and the confidence to reason about these tools rather than just trust the magic. **Speaker:** Tore Nestenius [https://nestenius.se/](https://nestenius.se/) **Location:** [Valvet Tech AB](https://valvet.tech/) Djäknegatan 5 211 35 Malmö

Join us for a night of board gaming with FANG (Fem All Night Gaming). **We are an all fem board game group** in Columbus, Ohio. No cis-men, please! We play modern hobby board games! If you're unsure what that is, we can teach you! We'll be meeting on the second floor of Giant Eagle in their cafe area. Giant Eagle has a lot of food and beverage options including their hot foods bars. You are also welcome to bring in any outside food.

**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

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy.
