Quantum Computing with Q# and Azure Quantum
Quantum Computing with Q# and Azure Quantum Quantum Computing is a rising field in Computer Science that uses the effects of Quantum Mechanics to achieve computations that are very difficult to do or simply impossible to do with regular computer technology. It can be used to simulate complex molecules for research, find optimal solutions for complex datasets, or could eventually break RSA encryption with sufficiently powerful quantum computers.

Peninsula Developers Study Group
New AI tools dropping every week. Bookmarks piling up. "To-be-studied" lists growing faster than we can read them. Sound familiar? Peninsula Developers Study Group is a local initiative for students and developers in the Newport News / Hampton Roads area who want to stop meaning to learn and actually do it — together. No pressure to be an expert. No bootcamp intensity. Just a consistent habit, a room full of curious people, and the accountability that comes from showing up. How it works We meet every two weeks on Tuesdays from 6:00–7:30 PM at CNU.

John Morehouse: Exploring Optimized Locking in SQL Server 2025
IN PERSON MEETING!!!!! Exploring Optimized Locking in SQL Server 2025 When updating data in SQL Server, operators run the gambit of incurring issues if not done correctly. Sometimes, they manifested as lock escalation, the dreaded blocking, disastrous deadlocks, or poor performance. With the release of Optimized Locking, first seen in Azure SQL Database and now in SQL Server 2025, issues are mitigated while helping to enhance performance and transactional concurrency.

Claude Code Agent Teams Workshop | AICHR
This event is capped at 500 attendees. Register now to secure your spot. You've set up Claude Code. You've built your first automations. Now it's time to scale. Agent Teams is Claude Code's most powerful feature — multiple AI instances working in parallel, sharing task lists, and coordinating directly with each other. Instead of one agent handling everything sequentially, you spin up a team: frontend, backend, QA — each working independently while a team lead orchestrates the whole operation. This session is a live, demo-driven deep dive into Agent Teams. We're not talking theory.
