AI fundamentals for JavaScript devs (and myths to debunk)

The recent tremendous growth of AI technology has created a huge gap between developer's understanding of "AI" really is and what it does - and its real mechanics, strengths and weaknesses.

There's so much going on in the area, in a relatively short time period, that an ordinary person is often left to "believe" what others claim. Like a shaman in a village who cast spells, while others just stand and stare.

What's the cure for this massive technological hysteria? It's education...

Hence, in this talk, we'll cover the most fundamental aspects around machine learning - which will enable listeners to question many false claims. Get ready for a short, yet deep dive into tensors, ecosystem, APIs and Agentic systems.

Mastering TypeScript's Advanced Patterns for Hardcore Development - Master Class (online)

Not aimed for beginners or intermediate users; it's designed for those who already have a solid understanding of the language and are ready to level up. We’ll delve deep into several advanced patterns in TypeScript that are battle-tested techniques discovered and honed by the TypeScript community. From low-level details to high-level architecture concepts, get ready to face some of TypeScript's most challenging and exciting features through interactive exercises.

Key Takeaways:
1. Advanced Patterns Primer: Uncover patterns like branded types, value object, and configuring type compatibility that emerge from structural typing.

2. Branded Types: Learn to provide specific domain-related operations that don't easily interfere with primitives - and leverage this to make your app logic more robust and easier to maintain.

3. Type Predicates & Assertion Functions: Customize TypeScript's control flow and improve code inference to make your codebase more manageable.

4. Classical Patterns (Builder, Composite, Iterator, etc): Build on your knowledge of Generics to perform awe-inspiring feats of inference, developing entire data structures without manual type annotation.

5. External Libraries: Get down and dirty with external libraries, understanding how generics flow through them to debug type errors quickly.

6. Thinking on the Compiler Level: Understand the critical role of various TypeScript compiler internals, to understand the result and results, which are not explicitly written in your code.

What You'll Learn:
- Deepen your understanding of TypeScript's advanced features
- Navigate and resolve complex compiler errors
- Gain techniques for efficient domain modeling
- Master type controls to write cleaner and more reliable code

By the end of this hands-on workshop, you’ll be armed with a toolkit of advanced TypeScript skills and techniques, ready to tackle any coding challenge. Don't miss out on this opportunity to turbocharge your TypeScript game! 💪🤓

Fundamentals of Software Architecture for AI-assisted Developers - Master Class (stationary & online)

In this foundational workshop, you'll gain a clear understanding of modern software architecture principles tailored for the age of AI-assisted development. Whether you're building new applications or evolving existing systems, architectural thinking is more important than ever in a world where AI is transforming how we write and maintain code.

We will cover the core principles of modular, scalable, and testable system design, and explore how AI tools—from copilots to code generators—impact architectural decisions. You'll learn how to design clean, evolvable codebases that embrace automation without losing control of structure, quality, or maintainability.

Through hands-on exercises and real-world case studies, you'll walk away with practical knowledge to apply in your daily work—whether you're building microservices, monoliths, or hybrid architectures powered by intelligent components.


What You'll Learn:
✔️ Core Architectural Patterns: Learn how to apply proven patterns like layered, hexagonal, and event-driven architectures in AI-supported workflows.
✔️ Designing for AI: Understand how AI assistants change the way we model, refactor, and document systems—and how to use them effectively.
✔️ Trade-offs and Boundaries: Make better decisions around coupling, cohesion, team ownership, and long-term evolution of codebases.
✔️ Architecture as Code: Discover tools and techniques for modeling and validating your architecture using modern developer workflows.
✔️ AI Integration Points: Explore where and how to integrate AI-powered services, models, and APIs within robust software architectures.

Who Should Attend:
Developers, tech leads, and architects who want to build strong architectural foundations while embracing AI-assisted tooling. No prior AI experience is required—just a passion for clean, thoughtful system design.

Future-proof your codebase and your career. Join us to master the fundamentals of software architecture for the AI-assisted era.
