🇧🇬След доста продължителна пауза подновяваме практиката на meetup-и с яки спикъри!
На 27 февруари 2025 в 19:00 заедно с RingCentral в техния офис на Цариградско Шоссе 86 (метро спирка ИнтерЕкспоЦентър) ще се проведе безплатна среща със звезден лектор Паша Финкелштейн, който ще доиде от Берлин, Германия.
Той ще представи лекция:
From ChatGPT User to RAG Implementer: A Developer's Journey
For ages, I was just another ChatGPT user—searching, brainstorming, you know the drill. But then Spring AI was released, and a light bulb went off: what if I index all our documentation and blog posts to build a bot that could actually answer users' questions about our products? As it turns out, there's a name for this magic trick—Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
Visit my talk for a wild ride as we break the RAG concept down bit by bit. We'll understand embeddings, figure out how to obtain and store them, and how we further work with them. And of course, the grand finale: creating a simple bot that knows our docs inside and out. Join me and let’s turn the Spring AI foundation into a really useful knowledge base helper!
Домакините на събитие също ще представят една кратка лекция от техен сътрудник Данил Башмаков:
Java, but you hate exceptions sooo much
This presentation is perfect for those interested in functional error handling in Java but unsure how to integrate it effectively. Daniil will explore the challenges and benefits of applying functional programming principles, discuss practical ways to incorporate them without disrupting an OOP-based project, and explain how the Either monad can improve control flow and error handling. The presentation will be valuable for developers working on backend services with complex logic and integrations or anyone curious about bringing more functional programming into their Java applications.
Лекциите ще бъдат представени на английски език.

18:30 – Вратите отварят
19:00 – Кратко откриване
