Context and additional details

[lmagnette]

One of my old school would be interested to host one of these events: https://www.vinci.be/en

[lmagnette]

Everything looks ok for them to host the event the 23/04.

[TomCools]

Which campus of the school would the event be?

[lmagnette]

I would normally be at the Woluwe campus.

[TomCools]

Sami from Vaadin? (to be confirmed) Olivier will send details of a Gatling speaker to Loic for a potential 2nd :)

[lmagnette]

Sami have just confirmed that he will be there 🥳. I've sent a message to @ohubaut to get the details from the Gatling speaker but didn't got any anwsers.

[lmagnette]

I've got the details for the Gatling speaker, but it will not be possible for april for them.

[TomCools]

So either a single speaker... or I can give a talk. What you think @lmagnette ?

[lmagnette]

@TomCools I'm totally ok with you giving a talk. So I would go with 2 speakers Sami and you :-)

[TomCools]

@lmagnette i need an abstract, title and bio from Sami 😊 so i can make the announcement. I know my own stuff

Title: You Can Build Web UI Using Java Only

Abstract: In the fast-evolving landscape of web development, Java remains a cornerstone for robust backend systems. However, its potential in frontend development is often overshadowed by JavaScript-dominated frameworks. This session aims to shift this perspective by introducing Vaadin, a Java-based framework designed for building modern web user interfaces.

The session will commence with a brief introduction to Java's role in current web development scenarios, highlighting its stability, scalability, and security features. We will then pivot to an in-depth exploration of Vaadin, showcasing how this innovative framework leverages Java's strengths to create efficient, responsive, and visually appealing web UIs.
