Java Bootcamp: Vibe Coding with AI Agents & MCP

Ready to build a Java project — even if you've never written a line of Java before?
This special edition of our Java Bootcamp series brings together everything we've been building with you, and takes it one step further. Whether you're just starting out or already deep in your Java journey, this evening is packed with practical insight, live demos, and hands-on coding — all in one session.

What's happening on the night:
🤖 Talk: Building with AI Agents & MCP Discover how Model Context Protocol (MCP) and AI agents are changing the way developers build software. Learn how to leverage these tools to accelerate your own projects — even when you're still learning the language.
⚡ Live Demo: Zero to Java in 10 Minutes Watch a complete beginner build a working Java project in under 10 minutes using vibe coding. No prior Java knowledge required — and yes, it's real.
📚 Bootcamp Update: What We've Covered & Where We're Going A recap of what participants have been building in the Java Bootcamp, what's coming next, and how you can join the journey from beginner to production-grade Java developer.
💻 Mini Project: Build Your Own Project Get hands-on! We'll set up a mini project so you can experience Java for yourself — in Java, guided by our mentors every step of the way.

Mentors will be on hand throughout the evening to guide you through the vibe coding process, answer questions, and help you get unstuck.
