You’ll walk away with a fully functional microservice, AI prompt templates, and a solid understanding of modern AI-enhanced development.

In this session, we’ll explore how AI can enhance your React app development workflow. Whether you're a junior developer or just starting out, this workshop will introduce you to best practices for building React applications, including how to integrate REST APIs, manage app state, and structure your components for long-term success.
You’ll also learn how to use AI tools to generate code snippets, troubleshoot issues, and automate repetitive tasks, making the development process faster and more efficient.

🧪 What You’ll Learn:

• React Development Best Practices: Core principles for structuring components, managing state, and optimizing performance.
• REST API Integration: How to efficiently connect React apps with REST APIs for dynamic data and functionality.
• State Management: Best practices for managing app state and syncing data from APIs.
• AI Assistance: Use AI tools like ChatGPT to speed up development, generate code, and improve overall code quality.
• Error Handling & Debugging: Leverage AI to identify and fix common issues in your React apps.

💡 Why It Matters:

• Efficient Development: Building React apps with AI assistance allows you to write cleaner, faster code while reducing errors.
• API Integration: Mastering API integration is essential for creating dynamic and data-driven applications.
• AI-Powered Tools: AI tools like ChatGPT enhance your productivity by automating repetitive tasks, debugging code, and improving your development process.

👨‍💻 Who Should Attend:

• Juniors and new graduates eager to learn React app development and how AI tools can help.
• Non-tech people curious about the development process and how AI tools are shaping modern web development.
• Developers looking to streamline their React development workflow with AI-powered assistance.

🕓 Schedule:

• 18:15 - Networking
• 18:20 - Program starts
• 19:05 - Q&A - networking
• 19:15 - End

For now, there is no fixed date for the meetup. We first want to see how much interest there is. If enough people join and RSVP, the plan is to run regular Friday sessions with around 30–35 participants starting in 2026.
This event is all about Microsoft Azure, DevOps, and modern AI-powered workflows – from automation in CI/CD pipelines to new capabilities in Azure AI and intelligent agents.
In these meetups, we will explore topics such as:

• What’s new in Azure AI, agentic workflows, and Azure AI Foundry
• How Azure and AI can improve DevOps, CI/CD, testing, and operations
• Recent Azure platform updates (security, networking, infrastructure) and what they mean for real projects

This will not be a one-way lecture. Participants are encouraged to:

• Bring their own questions, ideas, and project examples
• Suggest topics for future sessions
• Share real-world experiences with Azure, DevOps, and AI tools

This community is for everyone who wants to stay up to date with modern cloud and AI – from curious beginners to experienced professionals. Feel free to introduce yourself in the group, tell us about your background, and share what you would like to learn or build.
Once there is enough interest, you’ll receive an update with the first Friday date and details (online or in-person, time, and format). I’m looking forward to exploring the latest Azure and DevOps with AI together with you!
