Web Performance

### Learn how to create your own AI team and develop an app in just one day. * Intensive in-person hands-on training * 3 hours * The course is taught in English * From zero to hero * Learn by doing ### The way apps are built is changing – fast The most efficient builders today aren't working alone. They're orchestrating teams of AI agents that design, code, test, and deploy – in parallel. If you're still building everything manually, you're already behind. This workshop teaches you how to create your own AI development team – **a system of specialized agents** working together to take your idea from concept to production. ### What you'll build Your own product idea – not a predefined tutorial. By the end of the workshop, you'll have: * A fully functional web application (live URL) * Backend, database, and APIs connected * Authentication and core product logic * A **reusable AI agent system** you can keep using ### What you'll learn * How to **design and orchestrate an AI agent team** * Splitting work between agents * How to go from idea to spec to execution * Debugging and fixing AI-generated code * Deploying your app live * Creating **systems you can reuse for future products** ### Who this is for * Aspiring founders who want to build their own products * Developers who want to 10x their output with AI * Designers and product thinkers ready to ship ideas * Anyone serious about building real apps fast No advanced AI experience required – but you should have a Plus or Pro subscription for OpenAI, Claude, or GitHub Copilot. Bring your laptop and an idea for the app to build. ### What's included * Practical **hands-on workshop** * Step-by-step **guidance** from experienced developers * Real-time **help and debugging** * Pre-configured workflows and templates * **Post-workshop resources, materials and support** * Networking with other builders ### The outcome By the end of the day you will have: * A live product * A repeatable system to build more * The confidence to go from idea to launch anytime ### Limited spots To keep the workshop highly practical and hands-on, seats are limited to 6.

Second Meetup in April OMG!!! Let's gooo! We have some amazing speakers, and of course, pizza and drinks will be available after the event. ────────── **18:30: Welcome** Grab a drink and a seat until everybody arrives! **18:50 Intro by Host Neciu Dan** **19:00 Front-end testing at Preply: Shifting left towards component testing with Storybook** Speakers: Lukasz Rados and Dominika Szukala, both Senior Frontend Engineers at Preply Preply invested a lot into E2E testing in the past, but this approach wasn’t scaling well for us. With the advent of the company rebrand and the new engineering excellence culture, Preply needed a new approach to front-end testing. We (Dominika and Lukasz) embarked on a project to apply the new Engineering Excellence principles to front-end testing, providing the tools and fixing the current context to steer the whole company toward component tests. **19:25** **AI vs. App Engineer. Claude vs. Stack Overflow,** **or How an Animation Task Can Change the Perception of Your Work** Speaker: Arthur Repin, App Engineer at Preply I had a task, that initially looked like a routine change. Normally, I would handle it the usual way: check the documentation, browse Stack Overflow, try a few naive solutions, iterate, and get it done. But not this time. This is a story about how a wrong estimate can actually pay off later by saving time on future tasks. It’s a journey through misjudged effort, shifting approaches, unexpected struggles, and the lessons learned along the way. It also includes a deep technical dive into React Native animations, exploring complex animation patterns and why achieving smooth performance, especially on Android, is still a challenge. This talk is for engineers who want a deeper understanding of React Native animations and a reminder of why engineers still matter in the age of AI. **19:50: Drinks and networking!** Do you want to talk at this meetup?

Music has always shaped human emotion. Long before streaming platforms, people understood that music could influence the way we feel, think, and interpret the world. What is new is the scale, speed and precision with which artificial intelligence is beginning to intervene in that relationship. **[TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED HERE VIA LUMA - FROM 9 EUROS](https://luma.com/snz5y934?UTM-SOURCE-MEETUP)** ​In this Growth Lab LIVE session, hosted by composer and AI educator Rafel Jaume I Venys, we explore how AI-driven systems, from recommendation engines to generative music platforms, are learning to analyse emotional patterns, predict responses and create feedback loops in which feeling becomes data, and data becomes influence. ​As these systems become more sophisticated, music is no longer just something we choose or consume. It is increasingly something shaped around us indvidually, designed to hold attention, steer mood and optimise emotional response. ​Drawing on the myth of Orpheus, this session examines the rise of an algorithmic orchestra: a new technological force capable of conducting human emotion without ever experiencing it. The question is no longer whether AI can compose music, but what it means to live in a world where the systems shaping our inner lives may understand our responses better than we do ourselves. ​About the speaker: ​​**Rafel Jaume i Venys** is a composer, philosopher, and educator working at the crossroads of music, AI, and ethics. He’s the founder of **CAIRAI**, a consultancy focused on AI, education, and social impact, and lectures at several universities. His work bridges critical thinking and creative practice, helping individuals and organizations harness AI in ways that are both innovative and humane.

**Small Vocal Lab — Explore Your Voice in an Intimate Setting (Max 4 people)** Your voice is more than technique — it's expression, presence and connection.

I’m a singer-songwriter and vocal performance coach based in Barcelona, and this space is designed for people who want to explore their voice with curiosity — whether you sing regularly or simply feel drawn to expressing yourself through sound. Each participant receives individual guidance within a small group setting (max 4 people). During the lab we’ll explore: • Breath & body connection • Vocal freedom & projection • Presence and confidence through sound ✨ No experience required ✨ Open to singers, creatives and curious voices 📍 Private studio in Sarrià (Carrer d'Amigó 42) 🕒 17:30 – 18:45 👥 Only 4 spots available This event is donation-based.

Want to build websites with **modern WordPress**? Come practice with us. 👉 **Register here:** https://luma.com/35zntqtp *(Clicking "Going" on Meetup does not reserve your spot — please register on Luma to confirm your place)* \*\*\* **What happens during the session?** * We pick a real website section together — a banner, a team section, a pricing table — from a live site or a Figma file * We reproduce it using WordPress's new block editor (Gutenberg & FSE) * We work in pairs — two people, one laptop, building together **Good to know:** * Spots are limited to 6 — small enough to have real conversations and make real connections * Stuck on something? Someone in the group will be happy to help **Who is it for?** * ​Entrepreneurs, freelancers, developers, designers, or anyone curious about building websites with modern WordPress * ​Some WordPress experience is helpful — no previous experience with the new editor needed **What to bring?** * Your laptop with a local WordPress install — we recommend [LocalWP](https://localwp.com/), it's free and takes 5 minutes to set up * A block theme activated (Twenty Twenty-Five works perfectly) **What is "modern WordPress"?** WordPress has evolved from a simple blog editor into a full site design tool called Gutenberg & Full Site Editing (FSE). You can now build every part of your website — header, footer, templates, page layouts — using visual drag-and-drop blocks, without touching a single line of code. This makes heavy page builders like Elementor unnecessary: no bloat, no plugin dependency. Modern WordPress loads only the styles each page actually needs, resulting in faster, lighter sites — and because clean code and speed are exactly what Google rewards, your SEO improves naturally too. Most WordPress users haven't made the jump yet — this meetup is the place to start. \*\*\* 🇪🇸 ¿Buscas eventos en español? Te recomiendo el grupo WordPress Barcelona 👉 meetup.com/wordpressbcn
