Build cognitive Apps that help enhance, scale and accelerate Human ExpertiseNiklas Heidloff
Sessions at http://developerworld.heise.de / March 2015
IBM Watson represents a bold new partnership between people and computers that enhances, scales, and accelerates human expertise. Watson provides various cognitive services that can be integrated via REST APIs in your own apps, for example user modeling, questions and answers, speech recognition, concept expansion and much more. Attend this session to learn about the cognitive Watson services available on IBM Bluemix, IBM's Platform as a Service. With Bluemix developers can focus on writing code rather than setting up infrastructure and they can mix various services into their applications. In this session you'll see a live demo how to build apps leveraging these cognitive capabilities.

The deck contains a sample scenario that shows how to leverage the great capabilities available in IBM SmartCloud for Social Business and it shows how to extend this functionality via (XPages) apps to implement specific business requirements.
IBM SmartCloud for Social Business provides a big set of out of the box functionality. For example you can easily invite guests to your organization without having to add these people to on premises directories first. IBM SmartCloud for Social Business also provides a lot of social functionality like file sharing, forums and more. Furthermore with the latest release you can access files from you mobile devices even when you are offline.
In order to implement specific business requirements that the SmartCloud might not provide out of the box, apps can be developed that use the IBM Social Business Toolkit SDK. The partner community scenario demonstrates how you can add workflow functionality and how you can have internal discussions via your own apps.
Zeta Insurance is a fictive health insurance company which works with partners, the insurance brokers, to sell their products. The communication with partners is done via a SmartCloud community to which partners can easily be added as guests. Product brochures are stored in the community as files and brokers can ask questions about products via forums.
The insurance brokers use the SmartCloud community user experience. The Zeta Insurance support team does NOT use the SmartCloud user interface. Instead the support specialists use an internal support app. This allows them assign questions to certain support specialists so that multiple people don't waste time working on the same questions in parallel. Furthermore the support specialists can have internal discussions before they post answers to questions from partners.

IBM Connect 2014 session, Serdar Basegmez and Graham Acres.
Absract: You probably have heard about the Social Business Toolkit SDK but do you know what it is and what it's really about? Yes, it's XPages, it's JavaScript, and it's Java, and it works with Domino, Connections and SmartCloud, but what about the other apps that your users are asking for? What about Dropbox, Twitter and other platforms? This session will give developers a strong foundation to build on. You will learn the tools to use and invest in, the place to start and the roadblocks to avoid when building your skills. You will leave with practical examples and code samples to show you how easy it is to extend your apps and bring the power of Social Business to your organization.

Abstract
There is a lot of debate whether to use Serverless or Kubernetes to build cloud-native apps. Both have their advantages and unique capabilities which developers should take into consideration when planning new projects. We will throw some light on the topics ease of use, maturity, types of scenarios, developer productivity and debugging, supported languages, DevOps and monitoring, performance, community and pricing. Cloud-native architectures shift the complexity from within an application to orchestrations of Microservices. Both Kubernetes and Serverless have their strengths which we will discuss. Besides the core development topics, developers should also understand operational aspects how complicated it is to maintain your own systems versus using managed platforms.

How to write your own Slack Chatbots in Javascript
Through conversational experiences people can interact with applications easier than ever before. For developers this means they have to understand how to build these natural user interfaces in addition to browser interfaces and mobile apps. In this session we will demonstrate live how to develop a chatbot for Slack. Via Node.js and the open source project botkit we’ll connect to Slack’s websocket API. In order to define the conversation flow we’ll leverage intents, entities and dialogs from IBM Watson’s Conversation service.

With the availability of new platform stacks and new tools, the coding of applications has become a lot easier over the last years. However a key problem of software development often still occurs which is the challenge of rapid deployments in different environments development, testing and production and both on-premises and cloud. The typical developers excuse it works for me doesn’t count anymore. Instead today developers are responsible for the complete development cycle up to the deployment and testing in production environments. Fortunately Docker addresses this challenge and makes it very easy to deploy applications in different environments. This empowers developers and allows them to be really innovative by focussing on writing code to go from concept to production in minutes rather than months. In this session we are going to use the Cloud Foundry implementation IBM Bluemix to get applications deployed to the cloud by leveraging the power and portability of Docker containers. Well talk about everything from build pipelines, to private registries, container monitoring and more.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
