3:45 PM: 🎤 Shahriyar Rzayev - Learn Flask the hard way: Introduce Architecture Patterns

Flask is a popular and flexible web framework for Python, but building scalable and maintainable Flask applications can be challenging without a solid understanding of architecture patterns. This workshop aims to provide participants with a detailed explanation of applying architecture patterns to Flask projects. By exploring various design principles and best practices, attendees will learn how to structure their Flask applications for improved scalability, modularity, and maintainability.

Focusing on the Repository, Unit of Work, and Use Cases patterns, attendees will gain experience in applying these patterns to enhance code organization, maintainability, and testability. All these layers are wired together using Dependency Injection, which is yet another powerful tool to use in your applications.

The application we are going to build is stored in: https://github.com/ShahriyarR/hexagonal-flask-blog-tutorial

We are going to completely rewrite the official Blog application described in Flask documentation by applying architecture patterns.

All abstraction layers are covered by unit and integration tests, which will give the attendees a detailed view of why it is important to structure the application using architecture patterns.

Explore the future of UI translations, solving challenges with Figma Variables, and discover how Domain Driven Design enhances frontend development. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting, RSVP now for a night of learning and networking in the friendly Berlin tech community!

Agenda

6:00 PM: Networking, food & drinks

7:00 PM: Internalization of tomorrow by Alex Mir

The traditional way of handling translations is to have a JSON file in the build and replace the needed values. Let's figure out how we've already improved this flow and what we must do in the future. Currently, we use a list of 3rd party sources to keep our translations, but it helps us solve one issue: the maintenance of translations, allowing non-tech people to change translations on their own without knowing what JSON is. However, we still have a row of issues with storing all the keys we do not need in the build, key duplications, being unable to translate the prototypes in Figma, and having to do a lot of cherry-pick work manually. The upcoming game changer is Figma variables. Let me show you how it already works and what it will be able to do after it comes out of beta testing.

7:30 PM: DDD in the Frontend - View Objects by Cesar

The frontend code can benefit from many of the advantages provided by Domain Driven Design. DDD enables View Objects as part of your Primary to be used in components. These View Objects greatly simplify your components and make them much easier to test.
