Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

**This club is for founders, VCs, operators, and startup ecosystem players — past, present, and future.** ​Beach volleyball is deceptively chaotic. No walls, no ceiling, an unpredictable surface underfoot. Every rally is a small crisis — and then you reset, serve again, and trust your partner. ​Sound familiar? ​Six people, one ball, zero margin for ego. Beach volley punishes solo heroics and rewards teams that communicate fast, cover each other's blind spots, and stay calm when the sand shifts beneath them. Which is basically co-founding in the sun. ​ Whether you've played seriously or haven't touched a volleyball since school, come for the rallies, the dives, and the kind of conversations that only happen when everyone's a little sweaty and no one's checking their phone. ​No pitch decks. No panels. Just sets, spikes, and real talk with people who get the startup life. ​**🎯 What to Expect** ​ **Mixed-Level Games** — We play with at least 6 people per court. Got a bigger crew? We rotate and run a mini-tournament. All levels welcome. First time on sand? Perfect. ​ **Founder-to-Founder Connections** — Meet fellow founders, VCs, angels, and operators in a setting where hierarchy dissolves in the heat. ​ **The Rally Effect** — The best conversations happen between points. Bring energy, not a script. ​ **Competitive but Chill** — Good plays, better laughs, and a rematch culture. 🔄 ​ **💸 €10 per person** — Pay before the game: [paypal.me/alexbing2](https://paypal.me/alexbing2?utm_source=luma) Payment upfront helps confirm your spot is real and keeps the group reliable — no last-minute dropouts, no half-empty courts. Arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and meet the crew. ​ **⚠️ Cancellation Policy** If you can't make it, please cancel at least 2 days before the event — there's always a waiting list and someone who'd love your spot. No-shows without notice will be moved to the waiting list for future events and forfeit their €10 deposit.

*This club is for founders, VCs, operators, and startup ecosystem players — past, present, and future.* Five-a-side football is beautifully simple. A small pitch, ten people, one ball. No hiding, no waiting around — you're always in the game. But simple doesn't mean easy. In 5x5 everything is faster, tighter, more immediate. You make a bad pass and you feel it straight away. You make a good one and the whole team moves. There's no room for long-term strategy — just read the situation, act, adjust. Sound familiar? What makes it great is that it doesn't matter if you played seriously or just kick a ball around the park occasionally. The pitch levels everyone out. A founder who hasn't played in years will still find their feet, and by the second half you're already making plans for the rematch. **🎯 What to Expect** **60-minute game** — fast, fun, no downtime. **10 players, rotating if more** — all levels welcome, beginners very much included. **Real connections** — the kind that happen when you're out of breath and someone just saved your goal. **💸 €8 per person** — pay before the game: [paypal.me/alexbing2](paypal.me/alexbing2) Paying upfront keeps the pitch confirmed and the group reliable. No last-minute ghosts. Arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and meet the crew. **⚠️ Cancellation Policy** Cancel at least 2 days before if you can't make it — someone on the waiting list will be very happy to take your spot. No-shows without notice lose their €8 deposit and get moved to the waiting list for future events.

**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.
