Software Engineering Events in Milan

This is the widest category on Brainberg, because software engineering itself spans a huge range of events: language user groups (Python, Rust, Go, TypeScript, Kotlin, Elixir, Ruby, Zig), framework communities (React, Svelte, Next.js, Vue, Laravel, Django, NixOS), backend architecture tracks, testing and QA tracks (ISTQB certification courses, mutation testing, test-automation workshops), refactoring and DDD circles, hackathons, and the long tail of "thoughtful engineering" meetups that don't fit neatly under any specific stack.

This page narrows the Milan calendar to Software Engineering events. It's a subset of Italy's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.

Open Coding Night

Milan, 🇮🇹 Italy

Open Coding Night

Ti va di allenarti con il TDD provando qualche Kata? Vuoi provare il vibe coding? Hai un progetto personale che non riesci mai a portare avanti? Oppure ti piacerebbe imparare Rust, Zig, Haskell o qualche altro linguaggio?

>>> per trovare l'ufficio <<<

Open Coding Night è un formato anti-procrastinazione libero e non limitato al solo TDD: ci si trova la sera insieme ad altre persone curiose e motivate, per finalmente dare spazio alle proprie idee e sperimentare.

Come Partecipare
Porta con te un’idea, un esercizio, un progetto o una tecnologia che vuoi provare. Troverai una scrivania e un monitor a tua disposizione per metterti subito all’opera.
Non hai un obiettivo preciso ma ti piace lasciarti guidare dalla serendipitĂ ? Nessun problema: puoi unirti a chi vuole condividere la propria attivitĂ  e lavorare insieme.

Programma

  • 19:00 – 21:30 meetup aperto
  • 19:30 breve giro di presentazioni: chi c’è, cosa vuole fare, a cosa vuole aggregarsi
  • 19:45 – 21:15: focus time, ma siete liberi di muovervi, esplorare e fare domande in giro.
  • 21:15 mini-retrospective su cosa è stato fatto
  • Dalle 21:30 in poi, libertĂ  totale: puoi tornare a casa o unirti a chi ha voglia di andare a cena insieme!

We are open to English speaking participants:

Open Coding Night
Do you feel like practicing TDD by trying out some Katas? Want to try vibe coding? Do you have a personal project you never manage to move forward? Or would you like to learn Rust, Zig, Haskell, or some other language?
Open Coding Night is an anti-procrastination format not limited only to TDD: you meet in the evening with other curious and motivated people to finally give space to your ideas and experiment.

How to participate
Bring an idea, an exercise, a project, or a technology you want to try. You’ll find a desk and a monitor at your disposal so you can get to work right away.
Don’t have a specific goal but enjoy being guided by serendipity? No problem: you can join those who want to share their activity and work together.

Schedule

  • 19:00 – 21:30 open meetup
  • 19:30 short round of introductions: who’s here, what they want to do, what they want to join
  • 19:45 – 21:15: focus time, but you’re free to move around, explore, and ask questions.
  • 21:15 mini-retrospective on what was done
  • From 21:30 onward, total freedom: you can go home or join those who feel like going out for dinner together!
