You may associate Oracle CloudWorld with the latest in AI and cloud technology, designed folks who need to learn where trends are going in order to stay ahead. But it also provides value for those of us whose hands are mired in code daily — developers.

By the way, OCW 2024 is fast approaching — register today!

If this sounds like you and you want to learn from the experts in hands-on-labs and workshops, check out these five sessions you can attend at OCW:

  • Oracle Database@Azure for Enterprise Applications and Developers (Anwar Belayachi Multicloud Solution Architect, Oracle) — Microsoft and Oracle have created an integrated set of services that bring the power of Oracle Database natively to Microsoft Azure. See how easy it is to use Oracle Database with development tools, and experience powerful Oracle Database integrations with Azure services such as Data Factory, OpenAI, and PowerBI. Leave with an understanding of how you can efficiently develop new data-driven applications using Oracle Database@Azure.
     
  • Unraveling JSON Relational Duality: Insights from an Oracle Developer (Ranjan Priyadarshi Senior Director, Product Management, Oracle) — JSON Relational Duality in Oracle Database 23ai is a breakthrough innovation, providing developers the flexibility and simplicity of the document model as well as the relational model’s consistency and use case flexibility on the same data. Listen as Oracle ACE Director and senior Oracle developer Patrick Barel shares his experience and how, after using the feature, Patrick realized how much app developers will love JSON Relational Duality. Discover the key benefits of the feature and see how document developers can request any JSON document they want, while relational experts can build SQL apps based on the same data. Patrick will use Formula1 data and show the simplicity of using SQL and JSON Document APIs on the same data.
     
  • Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) for the Oracle Database Developer (Kris Rice, Software Development SVP, Oracle) — By nature, Oracle database development—either using PL/SQL or Oracle APEX—is usually not file based. The debate on how to incorporate this kind of development in a smooth development-and-deployment process has been going on for years. Usually a solution is found in throwing in more rules, guidelines, tools, and complexity—likely reducing developer productivity. But given the new Oracle development tools SQLcl and the SQL Developer extension for VS Code, in addition to a version control system like GitLab, you can match all of your continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) requirements without giving in on development speed. Come get the building blocks you need to build your own CI/CD pipelines.
     
  • Accelerating UI Development for AI Services (Blaine Carter, Principal Product Manager, Oracle) — Learn how to use a visual development approach to accelerate the development of apps that leverage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure AI services. See how Oracle Visual Builder helps professional and novice developers accelerate the creation of interfaces based on a JavaScript/REST/HTML technology stack, and how easy it is to connect these apps to Oracle’s AI services for advanced functionality. We demo sample apps, explain the architecture, and show you the development experience.
     
  • Developer and AI Hot Topics—The Week in Review (Wojciech Pluta Director, Technical Product Marketing, Oracle) — Close out the week on a high note! Come join the developer tech and AI team as we wrap up the week and showcase some of the exciting ideas and solutions that were presented across Oracle CloudWorld. Get highlights of the solutions generating a lot of buzz around the convention, plus, hear about some of the key trends we see heading into the future. So grab a bucket of popcorn…this theater session is sure to be entertaining.
