CODE Presents

Brought to you by CODE Consulting and CODE Magazine, these free events are designed for developers and IT decision makers. Join us online or in-person at one of these free events for a presentation loaded with content and no fluff! Speakers like Markus Egger, Microsoft RD and one of the longest running MVPs, will provide inside information and real-world experiences. This is NOT marketing hype! We will discuss which technologies are worth investing time and money in, and which ones to avoid.

Upcoming Events

Wednesday, April 16, 2025 - Only 2 weeks to go!

Join Mike Yeager on April 16th, 2025, at 12:00pm CT for a 75-minute webinar on using AI frameworks like Microsoft Semantic Kernel to build copilots and other AI-powered projects. Learn about cloud-hosted models, locally hosted SLMs, automatic function calling, and more, while discovering the pros and cons of using frameworks versus creating your own solutions.

Wednesday, May 7, 2025 - Only 5 weeks to go!

Join CODE's Philipp Bauer on May 7 for a 75-min online webinar about Vibe Coding. Coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025, Vibe Coding represents a paradigm shift where developers guide AI to generate code from high-level descriptions rather than coding manually. While this LLM-assisted approach enhances productivity and reduces cognitive load, it raises legitimate concerns about code quality and security. The presentation aims to equip senior developers with best practices for leveraging AI coding assistants responsibly, including effective prompting, validation strategies, and specialized review processes. Through these methods, developers can harness AI's efficiency benefits while maintaining engineering discipline and code craftsmanship.

Wednesday, June 11, 2025

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming our world while raising profound questions about its ultimate direction and impact on humanity. Join Dr. Otto Dobretsberger, Senior Software Architect at CODE, for an exploration of AI's future at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and speculative thinking. We hope to see you on June 11, 2025 online at 12:00pm CT or watch the recording.
