Ai & Creative Networking
Ai & Creative Networking
Mercoledì 15 aprile ci troviamo per il consueto aperitivo di Creative Hub: un momento informale per conoscere nuove persone che lavorano (o sono interessate a lavorare) nel mondo digital, creativo o tech a Milano. Questa serata avrà un leggero focus sull’intelligenza artificiale, ma senza talk, presentazioni o workshop. Il contesto è quello di sempre: un aperitivo rilassato in bar, dove si chiacchiera liberamente tra professionisti, freelance e appassionati del settore. Parleremo in modo spontaneo di come stiamo utilizzando le nuove tecnologie e l’AI nei nostri progetti, condividendo esperienze, strumenti e approcci in maniera informale. Se interessa, durante la serata condividerò anche il mio percorso recente su alcuni progetti realizzati con il supporto dell'iA: * Coinmeteor, un’app per iPhone già disponibile su App Store ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/coinmeteor/id6751293529 ) * Un software per Mac ( https://ui.koby.studio/keys/ ) in arrivo nei prossimi giorni su App Store * Monster Candy, ( https://www.getmonstercandy.com ) un videogioco per iPhone attualmente in fase di test su Apple TestFlight Ci vediamo mercoledì alle 18:30 à l'Eroica Caffé in Viale Tunisia, 15 NB: L'evento è gratuito, si richiede almeno una consumazione per rispetto del locale che ci ospita. Se non ci trovate all’interno del bar, scrivete nella chat WhatsApp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/H1opsenXvwuFAJXYg2ydJF?mode=gi_t **\*\*\*\* IMPORTANTE \*\*\*\*** Per una questione organizzativa vi preghiamo di iscrivervi solo se siete certi di venire. Nel caso non possiate partecipare, vi chiediamo di annullare l’iscrizione. Grazie per la comprensione.
Hands-on con Kiro (Meetup #7)
Hands-on con Kiro (Meetup #7)
**Ti aspettiamo mercoledì 15 aprile per un workshop dedicato a Kiro, l'IDE agentico nell’ecosistema AWS.** Durante il meetup vedremo come utilizzare Kiro nel flusso di sviluppo, partendo dai concetti di base fino ad arrivare a esempi pratici di spec-driven development. L’obiettivo è capire come questo tipo di strumento può supportare le attività quotidiane di sviluppo, dalla scrittura del codice all’integrazione con i servizi cloud. La sessione alternerà una breve introduzione a una demo guidata, con la possibilità di seguire in prima persona (è una buona idea portare un PC!). *Guideranno la sessione Marco Frattallone (Senior Technical Account Manager, AWS), Francesco Bertani (Solutions Architect, AWS), Francesco Martini (Senior Cloud Operations Architect, AWS).* **📍 Dove** Milano — uffici Amazon Italy, Viale Monte Grappa 3, Milano Indispensabile **iscriversi** all'evento meetup e portare **documento d'identità** per accedere alla venue. **🎯 A chi è rivolto?** A chiunque abbia una **conoscenza generale di AWS** — non serve essere “pro” né esperti. Porta un PC/Mac, **🕒 Agenda (orario CET)** * 18:00: Doors open * 18:30: Introduzione * 18:30 – 20:00: Spec-driven development con Kiro * 20:00: Aperitivo offerto da AWS **🎉 Sponsorship** Siamo felici di essere ospitati questa volta presso gli uffici Amazon Italy, con drink e aperitivo offerti da AWS. **🎥 Foto e riprese video** Nota: foto e registrazioni effettuate durante l’evento potrebbero essere utilizzate per future attività promozionali.

Public Speaking Lab: Parla in pubblico con sicurezza (IT/EN)
Public Speaking Lab: Parla in pubblico con sicurezza (IT/EN)
**Basta libri. Basta corsi. Inizia a parlare!** Puoi leggere 100 libri sul public speaking, ma non imparerai mai finché **non sali su un palco**. The Xplorers Toastmasters Club Milano è proprio questo: una **palestra di Public speaking** bilingue (IT/EN) dove puoi metterti in gioco, sbagliare e migliorare. Che tu sia un manager, uno studente o semplicemente una persona che vuole vincere la paura di parlare in pubblico, questa è la serata giusta per te. **📅 COSA ASPETTARSI:** Toastmasters international è un'associazione nata negli Stati Uniti più di 100 anni fa. Ogni serata di ogni Club del mondo è strutturata in tre parti: 1. **Discorsi Preparati:** I nostri soci presentano discorsi su vari argomenti per allenare le loro skill (Storytelling, body language, struttura). 2. **Improvvisazione (Table Topics)\*:** Esercizi di improvvisazione per imparare a rispondere con sicurezza a ogni domanda. 3. **Valutazioni:** Ogni speaker riceve da un altro socio un feedback costruttivo per capire cosa ha fatto bene e cosa può migliorare. *\*Nota:* Anche gli ospiti possono provare a buttarsi, ma **solo se lo desiderano**. Nessuno ti forzerà! **📍 DOVE E QUANDO:** Ci troviamo allo Spazio OiT (Via Porpora 14, zona Loreto) ogni 1° e 3° mercoledì del mese. * Ore **19:00**: Networking e accoglienza. * Ore **19:15**: Inizio puntualissimo. **⚠️** **Per garantire un'esperienza di qualità, accettiamo solo 9 nuovi ospiti per ogni serata.** **Assicurati il tuo posto gratuito ora!** Ti aspettiamo!
CHE IL CODICE SIA CON TE… FINCHÉ SERVE
CHE IL CODICE SIA CON TE… FINCHÉ SERVE
**Se ora il codice lo scrive una AI… io cosa ci sto a fare?** Negli ultimi mesi abbiamo visto l’intelligenza artificiale passare da semplice “assistente” a qualcosa che è in grado di scrivere codice, proporre soluzioni e persino prendere decisioni. **Ma quindi… siamo diventati inutili?** In questo talk cercheremo di rispondere proprio a questa domanda, andando oltre hype e paure, per capire cosa sta realmente cambiando nel nostro lavoro di sviluppatori. Partiremo dalle basi: * cosa sono i Large Language Models (LLM) * cosa significa davvero parlare di “agenti” * come funzionano concetti come MCP, tools e skills Per poi passare alla pratica, con esempi concreti su come queste tecnologie possono essere integrate nel workflow quotidiano di uno sviluppatore PHP, utilizzando strumenti come **Laravel Boost** all’interno di progetti reali. Vedremo come configurare e utilizzare agenti per: * scrivere test automaticamente * analizzare e migliorare il codice * generare documentazione * supportare attività ripetitive come commit e refactoring **L’obiettivo non è sostituire lo sviluppatore, ma aumentare la sua capacità di lavorare meglio, più velocemente e con maggiore consapevolezza.** Chiuderemo con una riflessione sul futuro della professione: * quali competenze diventeranno fondamentali * cosa cambierà davvero nel nostro lavoro * e soprattutto… quale sarà il nostro ruolo in un mondo dove il codice può essere scritto (anche) da una AI Un talk pratico, concreto e senza fuffa, pensato per sviluppatori che vogliono capire — davvero — come usare queste tecnologie invece di subirle.

Rooftop Spritz
Rooftop Spritz
(English below) Golden Hour Aperitivo - C’è quel momento della giornata in cui la luce diventa perfetta, l’aria più leggera e tutto sembra rallentare un po’. È lì che ci troviamo. Vi proponiamo un evento pre-serale, un aperitivo tra chiacchiere, musica in sottofondo e calici per tutti mentre il sole scende. È il modo giusto per iniziare la serata, senza fretta: un pre-serata rilassato, prima di uscire, o restare per chi ha piacere. Da bere ci sarà spritz libero per tutti o in alternativa prosecco 🧡, mentre da mangiare ci saranno snack per accompagnare il drink senza appesantire, così chi si è già organizzato per la cena o per una serata nei locali potrà comunque unire i due eventi. Attenzione: non ci sarà quindi il solito buffet che avete sempre trovato nelle serate precedenti!!🥂 COME PARTECIPARE: * Registrati all'evento * Attendi il mio messaggio privato con cui ti comunicherò l'indirizzo PayPal * Effettua il pagamento dell'importo Alcune informazioni: * Se non ci saranno abbastanza partecipanti, l’evento verrà riprogrammato in una data successiva. * Se l’evento raggiunge il numero massimo di partecipanti, non sarà purtroppo possibile accettare nuove richieste di partecipazione. * Se avete allergie o intolleranze, come sempre fatelo presente. Se l'evento venisse annullato, avrete il rimborso dell'intero importo. l'indirizzo preciso sarà comunicato ai partecipanti il giorno dell'evento: zona MM1 (linea rossa) Milano ovest Vi aspetto! Golden Hour Aperitivo – There’s that moment of the day when the light becomes perfect, the air feels lighter, and everything seems to slow down a bit. That’s where you’ll find us. We’re hosting a pre-evening event: an aperitivo with chats, background music, and glasses for everyone as the sun goes down. It’s the perfect way to start the evening, unhurried: a relaxed pre-night gathering before heading out, or staying longer if you feel like it. To drink, there will be unlimited spritz for everyone or, alternatively, prosecco 🧡. As for food, there will be light snacks to accompany your drink without weighing you down, so those who already have dinner plans or a night out can easily combine both. Please note: there will not be the usual buffet you may have found at previous events!! HOW TO PARTICIPATE: • Register for the event • Wait for my private message where I will share the PayPal address • Make the payment of the amount Some information: If there are not enough participants, the event will be rescheduled to a later date. If the event reaches maximum capacity, unfortunately we won’t be able to accept additional requests. If you have allergies or intolerances, please let us know as usual. If the event is canceled, you will receive a full refund of the amount paid. The exact address will be communicated to participants on the day of the event. Area Metro 1 (red line) West Milan Looking forward to seeing you!

Tech Startups in the Pub - Milan (6:30 PM CET)
🍻 **Join Us for Tech Startups in the Pub - Milan Edition!** 🍻 Hey there! 🌟 We'd love for you to join us for our next edition of *Tech Startups in the Pub,* this time in Milan, Italy! The event is scheduled for **6:30 PM local Italian time**. The platform does not allow us to change the time zone, so we can only create events with the GMT time, thus you will see the invitation for 7:30 PM, but you definitely want to come earlier. It's a relaxed evening at The O'Connell Irish Pub, and run by Volodymyr. We have been running for 3.5 years in London and we are excited to now run our monthly events in Milan as well, welcoming new folks to the community. Whether you're a tech founder, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in. This isn't about panels or pitching, just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink on a Thursday evening. Important information about the location and time. **It is in the ZTL zone**, so please do not come by car. Please use public transport or walk. **House Rules:** * Find Volodymyr to introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly. The pub knows we are coming, so you should be able to find us easily. * No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chill, friendly after-work get-together. * Not drinking? No worries! You're more than welcome to come hang out and enjoy the conversation. Mark your calendar and come down for some fun tech talk. See you there!
Girlfriends Picnic at Parco Sempione 18.04
Girlfriends Picnic at Parco Sempione 18.04
Picture this: a relaxed, sun-filled lunch in Parco Sempione, surrounded by greenery, soft blankets, and that effortless, slightly chic picnic vibe we all secretly love. There’s good wine (of course), fresh non-alcoholic drinks if that’s your thing, and a spread of finger food you can just pick at while chatting, laughing, and slowly getting comfortable. Nothing rushed, nothing too structured—just a really nice moment to pause and enjoy. And because everyone’s there for the same reason, there will be a few light, fun activities woven in naturally, the kind that make it easy to start conversations and actually get to know the other girls without it feeling awkward or forced. It’s basically that perfect kind of afternoon where you show up not knowing anyone… and leave feeling like you’ve just expanded your circle in the most effortless way. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

HTML5 Master Series (Class 03 of 04) (SPECIAL OFFERING)
HTML5 Master Series (Class 03 of 04) (SPECIAL OFFERING)
**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:** 1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring. 2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. **Introduction:** HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today. One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences. A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites. Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires. **The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:** **Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5** This class introduces the core concepts of web development, the history of HTML, and the fundamental structure of an HTML5 document. * **Topics**: * **Web Architecture Overview**: How browsers, servers, and web pages interact. * **HTML Fundamentals**: Understanding elements, tags, and attributes. * **Basic Document Structure**: Using !DOCTYPE html, html, head, and body. * **Text Formatting**: Headings (h1 to h6), paragraphs (p), and text-level semantics (e.g., strong, em, br). * **Lists and Links**: Creating ordered (ol) and unordered (ul) lists, and linking between pages using anchor tags (a). * **Activity**: Students create a basic personal webpage containing text, a list of hobbies, and a link to an external website. **Class 2: Semantic HTML5 and Multimedia Integration** Class 2 focuses on modern HTML5 elements that provide meaning (semantics) to content, improving accessibility and search engine optimization. It also covers adding images and multimedia. * **Topics**: * **Semantic Elements**: Understanding and implementing elements like header, footer, nav, section, and article. * **Images**: Adding images using the img tag and attributes like src, alt, width, and height. * **Multimedia**: Embedding audio and video content using the audio and video tags. * **File and Folder Structure**: Best practices for organizing project files and managing file paths. * **Activity**: Students refactor their Class 1 project to use a proper semantic layout and add an image and a link to a video file. **Class 3: Forms and User Input** This session is dedicated to building interactive HTML5 forms, which are essential for capturing user data and input. * **Topics**: * **Form Basics**: Using the form element, action and method attributes. * **Input Types**: Exploring various input types (e.g., text, password, checkbox, radio, date, submit). * **Form Elements**: Utilizing label, textarea, select, option, and button. * **Client-side Validation**: Implementing HTML5 validation attributes like required, minlength, and pattern. * **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation. **Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling** The final class introduces Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style the HTML content and make the web pages visually appealing and accessible. * **Topics**: * **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values. * **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets. * **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout. * **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment. * **Accessibility Basics**: Identifying principles of web design usability and accessibility, including ARIA labels. * **Activity**: Students apply an external CSS file to their Class 3 form project to style the layout, colors, and fonts, culminating in a well-structured and styled webpage.
