betterCode()
Software development has become the central pillar for the business success of almost every organisation. How well or poorly a new or existing application is implemented has a significant impact on its economic success. This makes it all the more important for you as a developer, software architect and project manager to keep up to date with the many changes in software and web development. To meet this need for information, attend our Special Days of betterCode(). betterCode() is the new online conference home for all topics related to professional software development.
Our offer at a glance:
Topic highlights from past events: APIs, PHP (8), Java 17, C++20, Rust, Go, WebAssembly and Qt 6.
The organisers are heise Developer, iX and dpunkt.verlag.
enterPy online
The conference for Python in Business, Web and DevOps
Online, 25 October 2022
Python is one of the established programming languages, but is currently experiencing a rapid rise in the wake of machine learning and data science. The language is easy to learn, universally applicable and delivers quickly usable applications without much effort. Python is therefore usually the first choice for prototyping and scripting – as an alternative to C/C++ or Java, it is just as suitable for use in production, ranging from ML to DevOps tooling and enterprise applications.
enterPy is therefore addressing experts who use Python in production in their companies or who intend to do so because they want to exploit the potential of the programming language in Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Web Programming as well as DevOps.
The organisers are heise Developer, iX, and dpunkt.verlag.

JavaLand 2023
The Java Conference for the Community from the Community
Phantasialand, Brühl, 21 to 23 March 2023
With approx. nine million developers, Java is one of the most popular programming languages. Even now, after more than 20 years after their first public appearance, the future of the language is secure for many years to come: on one hand, it contains substantial, non-dwindling backing from the industry, it has also been teaching language no. 1 for quite some time. This means continued interest to develop around Java.
JavaLand is substantially different from other Java conferences. The event considers itself "the Event of the Java Community for the Java Community". Hidden behind this is the idea that the community can be actively involved in designing JavaLand. JavaLand is also travelling on unconventional paths with respect to the location of the event. The fun park Phatasialand is exclusively available to the Java Community in the accessible areas during both main conference days.
The organisers are DOAG, heise Developer with the support of iJUG.

DevOps Essentials
Deep-dive trainings for Continuous Delivery, DevOps and Containerization
The DevOps Essentials are the deep dive training for three of the most important concepts of modern software development: Continuous Delivery, DevOps and container techniques. The DevOps Essentials provide in-depth insight and a hands-on foundation on which to build for years to come.
Many companies are already restructuring their software development process. The DevOps Essentials show how it works: be it the corporate culture itself, an overview of microservices architectures and the cloud native ecosystem or be it basic and advanced courses on dockers, cubernetes as well as security aspects of modern software.
Participants 2019: 130

Serverless Computing London 2018 to 2019
Conference for Cloud Native Computing
The prospect of not relying on your own servers, not even a dedicated cloud platform, sounds compelling. Nevertheless, serverless architecture raises a set of new questions: How secure are my serverless applications? How scaleable are they? Do I need to set up containers? How can I test my software? Which platform do I use and how do I avoid vendor lock-in?
Serverless Computing London will answer those questions by focusing on the potential of serverless architecture for developers, system architects, administrators, CIOs and project owners and the practicalities of implementing them in organisations. The conference will address the concepts, processes and tools essential to serverless architecture, cloud computing, and distributed systems. It will put industry experts centre stage to share their practical experience with you, and answer your challenging questions.
The organisers are heise Developer and The Register.
Participants 2019: 150

Minds Mastering Machines [M³] 2017 to 2019
Machine Learning: Frameworks, concepts and programming
Computer based systems capable of making decisions, even thinking, are streaming out of the realm of utopia – or dystopia – and into today’s worlds of business and science. What were recently just tantalising theories about machine learning and AI are erupting out of the world of academia, and being marketed – as-a-service, promising to make your home-grown applications smart.
The conference gives developers and data scientists insight into neural networks and deep learning. There are plenty of open source frameworks available by companies such as Google, IBM, Facebook, and Microsoft. Developers will also learn about how to efficiently write code for special AI-hardware using frameworks such as CUDA or OpenCL.

MakerCon – From Maker to Market (2017, 2018)
The conference for Maker
Print Media Academy, Heidelberg
The Maker movement is undoubtedly an inherent phenomenon, which combines the passion for creating, cooperation and modern technology. The "Democratising of Production resources" (Wikipedia) enables creative people to develop new products, which was previously reserved for companies. The conference vividly shows that the Maker movement is much more than bricolage with individual Arduinos or Raspberry Pis.
MakerCon is the first conference in the German-speaking area which offers the exchange between makers, informs of the current creative and technical developments in the Maker Movement and shows roads to the professionalisation of own products (Maker to Market). The contents will be of technical nature as well as provide practical assistance for start-up founders or FabLab organisers. The focus is to be the exchange of experience and the dialogue between makers and people interested in the Maker scene.
The organisers are Make Magazine, heise Developer, and dpunkt.verlag.
Participants 2018: 110
Participants 2017: 150

XPC – Cross-Platform Conference (2016, 2017)
The online conference for platform-independent software development
The slogan "Write Once, Run Anywhere" is now twenty years old - and yet, the associated paradigm is still rather wishful thinking than widely spread reality. However, to distribute once developed software through as many devices as possible is more important than ever particularly in times where many mobile devices rule our lives. Luckily, there are more and more tools and techniques to indeed develop "cross-platform", particularly in recent times. The experts of XPC provided a contemporary overview of the status quo of platform-independent software development.
The organisers are heise Developer and heise Events.
Participants (2017): 150
Participants (2016): nearly 2000 (for free)
