heise devSec 2020 Online
The conference for secure software and web development
21 to 22 October 2020
The challenges for developers to design their programs secure are numerous. They not only have to keep in mind their own code and thoroughly check to find deficits of any type. In order to supply secure software, they also have to consider possible attack scenarios and develop concepts to handle defects in advance. In addition, they should anticipate external error sources: an insecure connection, a deficit in the database or a compromised external module can open unnoticed backdoors for attackers.
The organisers are heise Developer, heise Security, iX and dpunkt.verlag.

data2day 2020 Online
The conference for Big Data, Data Science and Machine Learning
19 to 20 Oktober 2020
Today, classic approaches from the world of Data Warehouse and Business Analytics can quickly reach their limits: The data volume today reaches far greater magnitudes than only a few years ago, interesting data is often restructured and the speed of their evaluation is to become faster and faster. Here, the theories, processes and tools associated with Big Data are supposed to provide assistance.
The data2day provides information on the profitable use of databases and the high-performance application of modern techniques and tools for mass data processing. It also shows applications far more useful than the spying on internet users. The conference provides a contemporary overview on the most important concepts, methods and tools. Examples from specific application areas and scenarios from the daily routine, in turn, demonstrate the opportunities and limits of these approaches and tools.

Continuous Lifecycle 2020
Conference for Continuous Delivery and DevOps
Congress Centre Rosengarten, Mannheim, 3 to 6 November 2020
Parallel to ContainerConf 2020
The previous editions of Continuous Lifecycle enjoyed the full attention of the industry. The keywords Continuous Delivery and DevOps have arrived in practice – not only in Web 2.0 and Cloud companies, but also in companies producing classic corporate or embedded applications. Keywords such as containerisation with Docker and Co., but also DevOpsBiz, have been added as new trends and occupy experts from software development and operations.
But how does one sensibly apply the concepts in one's own project? Where is the greatest potential, what are the pitfalls? Answers to these questions will be provided at the Continuous Lifecycle 2019. It is entirely devoted to the concepts, processes and tools behind Continuous Delivery, DevOps and Co. and provides experiences, which help in practical life.
The organisers are heise Developer, iX and dpunkt.verlag.

ContainerConf 2020
Conference for Docker & Co.
Congress Center Rosengarten, Mannheim, 3 to 6 November 2020
Parallel to Continuous Lifecycle 2020
Docker, its alternatives and the Container-ecosystem are currently changing the world of virtualisation and are becoming an integral component of software development. They revolutionise the methodology of software teams with new options of building, distributing and operating. But, to which extent can the promises associated with Docker & Co. really be kept?
The ContainerConf provides answers to this pivotal question: It illuminates the internal technical issues as well as the most important tools and methods, but also the social and cultural aspects (keyword "DevOps") of this revolutionary way of software delivery. Experienced software developers and administrators share their knowledge and experiences in all important aspects of the Container ecosystem. Participants in the ContainerConf learn how to produce applications scalable, reliable, quickly and reproducible with Docker & Co.

enterPy 2020
The conference for Python in Business, Web and DevOps
Print Media Academy, Heidelberg, 23 to 24 November 2020
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 2021
The Java Conference for the Community from the Community
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.

Earlier conferences:
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.

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.

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.
