Let's Talk [https: //letstalk.nl\,](https://letstalk.nl\,/) which started as a physical store where telephone subscriptions were taken out\, has developed into a pione er in the telecom industry. The driving force behind this evolution? Marce l\, our founder and former owner\, who was convinced that the telephone su bscription process could be much simpler.\nMarcel took matters into his ow n hands and independently developed software that not only simplified the creation of subscriptions\, but also lifted sales to new heights.

In addition to our technological developments\, we are also moving towards a fully agile scrum organization \, where flexibility and collaboration are central. At the same time\, we are working on a transformation towards talent-driven collaboration\, in w hich we combine the unique strengths of our employees to achieve joint suc cess.\nOur story is one of continuous evolution\, driven by the desire to make the telephone subscription process even more efficient and customer-f riendly.\n**About the location**\nOur office is at Fellenoordstraat 99\, 4 811 TH Breda.\nUnder the large flat at the intersection with the Markendaa lseweg.

This meetup will take place in **Den Bosch at Social Deal**.\nS tarting time: **19:00** (with food).\n\n**From OOP to OOPS: Escaping the O ne-Paradigm Trap**\nObject oriented programming is no silver bullet\, like any other paradigm. So\, how to pick the right one? You simply don’t.\n Modern programming languages are slowly adopting multiple paradigms\, and for good reasons. It’s becoming increasingly clear that blending them ca n lead to better quality. But this faces us with a new challenge: what’s a good blend?\nIn this session\, we’ll dive into the four major paradig ms and define clear architectural roles for each\, forming a balanced\, ma intainable foundation for applications of any scale. As a case study\, we ’ll refactor an over-engineered OO API into a leaner\, more comprehensib le design.\nBy the end of this session\, you’ll have a good understandin g of the major paradigms\, and a practical\, rule-based framework for when and how to apply them.\n\n**About the speaker - Peter van Vliet**\nPeter started his career as a full-stack software developer in 2002 and has sinc e progressed to a lead architect role. Over the course of these 20+ years\ , he has fulfilled many roles in various industries and gained extensive e xperience with a wide range of technologies such as Java\, C#\, JavaScript \, and others. Nowadays\, he leverages his expertise to assist companies\, write articles\, and speak at conferences.\nHis main focus is on making s oftware development more cost-efficient and future-proofing applications. Additionally\, he has picked up making illustrations as a hobby because he is a strong believer in visual communication. There are no boring slides in any of his presentations.\n\n**About the sponsor**\nSocial Deal is one of the fastest‑growing internet companies in the Netherlands and Belgium . Through our platform\, millions of users discover the best deals every d ay in restaurants\, wellness\, hotels\, day trips\, beauty\, sports\, and much more.
