Oracle Code San Francisco Videos: Cloud-Native Apps, Scaling, and Docker Image Lifecycles

It's a wrap! The first of the 20 Code events worldwide is over with about 300 attendees who enjoyed, for free, Oracle's one-day developer-focused conference, that was held at Marriott Marquis, in San Francisco, this last Wednesday, March 1. 

The event was free to attend and the content was very much focused on educating developers how to build software these days, with sessions that varied from building microservices, using containers, DevOps practices, and multiple programming languages like Java, JavaScript, and .NET, as well with the use of relational, NoSQL, and in-memory databases. Third-party community speakers, sponsors, and Oracle engineers shared their knowledge and views throughout the entire day, with 18 very good technical sessions.

Douglas Crockford, a JavaScript advocate well-known for his book "Javascript: The Good Parts" and the discovery of the JSON format, and Thomas Kurian, Oracle's president for product development and engineering, completed the conference agenda with their opening keynotes in the morning.

Two interesting announcements happened at Code San Francisco:

• Oracle and Pluralsight partnership for bringing educational content on modern Cloud development

• Oracle Database 12.2 (12cR2) has been released, and it already has source files for building your own Docker container image, published on Oracle's GitHub project docker-images.

Other parallel activities also took place, with two hands-on labs for building and deploying microservices on Oracle Cloud, an IoT workshop, and several cool demos at Code Lounge, like the traditional Cloud Coffee demo already presented at other conferences, and few other new ones that developers can expect to see at future Oracle Code events. Going beyond on-site activities, the event had a series of interviews done through Periscope with speakers at the event, which you can find at the @OracleDevs channel.

For those who couldn't be at the event or the attendees who want to watch again, all sessions were recorded and are already available on the Oracle Developers YouTube channel.

Below you will find some of the most well-attended sessions at Code San Francisco:
