Mingle Mania: Culture Exchange Saint Patrick's Day Special
Mingle Mania: Culture Exchange Saint Patrick's Day Special
The leprechauns have clearly interfered with the calendar and somehow pushed St. Patrick’s Day onto a Tuesday, right when we already had a meetup scheduled. **Suspicious, yet very fortunate.** ☘️ So this week, our usual Tuesday drinks go even moar Irish. Join us for a slightly chaotic, very friendly evening with locals, expats, regulars, newcomers for random conversations, and the usual Utrechters social magic. No forced networking, no corporate energy. Just people meeting people, having drinks, talking nonsense, sharing stories, and maybe collecting a few new friends on the way. **Imporant:** Wear some green. Seriously. Put effort level anywhere between "full saint mode" and "I found one green sock". Green shirts, green hats, green chaos, all welcome. And **BIG** kudos to the bar staff for still having us. They are super nice, patient, and somehow continue to tolerate our weekly appearance that sometimes ends in bulk cocktail orders. Please be nice back to them and order at least one drink. 🍻 What to expect: * locals + expats * very busy bar * community ages roughly 20 to 60, average somewhere around 30 * free to join, voluntary, low-pressure, human-friendly If you have ideas for future events, tell us. This group is not just for Tuesday drinks. The goal is to build a proper community for all kinds of activities. Join the WhatsApp group: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/GopSuzuFKRBKeYVKQrX4pE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GopSuzuFKRBKeYVKQrX4pE) Come have a drink, wear something green, and help us give this Tuesday a bit of Irish nonsense. ☘️
Apeldoorn JUG @ Craftsmen - Maven's hidden secrets & Clean Architecture
Apeldoorn JUG @ Craftsmen - Maven's hidden secrets & Clean Architecture
Dear Java developer, We would like to invite you to a physical Java Meetup powerd by Craftsmen in Apeldoorn about Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build by Ko Turk and Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture by Michel Schudel **Location** STOOM Vlijtseweg 114 7317 AG Apeldoorn Movie for route: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8XwbB6APsM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8XwbB6APsM) Maps: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/bHihYysxXp71aQjP7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/bHihYysxXp71aQjP7) **Program** (UTC +1) 17:30 Doors open 18:00 Food & networking 18:45 **Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture** by Michel Schudel 19:30 Break 19:45 **Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build** by Ko Turk 20:30 Networking & drinks 21:15 Doors closed **Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture** Clean Architecture is about separating concerns within your application to keep it maintainable, scalable, and testable. Some call it onion architecture, others call it hexagonal, but in the end they all aim for the same goal: protecting your domain logic from the messy outside world. But how does this work in practice? In this session, we'll build a Spring Boot application together using the principles of Clean Architecture. We'll use the Spring Boot Test framework for clean integration tests and ArchUnit to ensure our squeaky-clean application stays that way by enforcing architectural boundaries. After this session you've learned what Clean Architecture is, and how you can leverage your own applications with it. **Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build** Ahoy, Maven Pirates! Gather around, for I have a treasure of knowledge to share with ye salty dogs. ☠️ Ye be hearin' about this thing called 'Build Caching'? It’s a secret weapon that can make yer ship (build) sail faster than a seagull catchin' the wind! How does it work, ye ask? Well, add an extension to the project file in the "pom" ye mateys call it. But don't think it's all smooth sailin' from there. Nay, ye need to do a bit of work on the pipeline too. Arr, we be talkin' about addin' a remote (cache) server to the settings file, and then ye be sayin' goodbye to them extra (rum with) coffee breaks. ☕️ By makin' a few simple tweaks, we give yer build a mighty fine boost! And ye be learnin' all about them Maven lifecycles too! We will show how to improve yer tests and run them in parallel, like enterin’ a ship. ⚡️ But hear me out, me hearties, for this be no ordinary treasure of knowledge. Nay, this is reserved for a select few, the likes of ye who be joinin' this session. So, keep yer lips sealed, and don't be tellin' a soul about this secret, aye? **Ko Turk** Ko Turk is a Software Architect, Java Engineer, and Community Builder with more than 15+ years of experience in development, architecture, speaking, and building communities.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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
