Chabot development comes with a unique set of requirements and considerations that may prove challenging to those making their first excursion into this new breed of services. This podcast features a panel of developers who have been there, done that, and are willing to talk about it.

Chatbot Development: First Steps and Lessons Learned - Part 1

The previous podcast featured a discussion of chatbot development with a panel of developers who were part of a program that provided early access to the Oracle Intelligent Bots platform available within the Mobile Cloud Service. In this podcast we continue the discussion of chatbot development with an entirely new panel of developers who also had the opportunity to work with that same Intelligent Bots beta release.
Oracle ACE Director Mia Urman is Chief Executive Officer of AuraPlayer Limited. She’s based in Brookline, Massachusetts.

And Christoph Ruepprich is Infrastructure Senior Principal with Accenture Enkitec Group. He’s based in Dallas, TX

In this program Mia, Peter, and Christoph compare notes on the particular challenges that defined their chatbot development experiences, and discuss what they did to meet those challenges.

Chatbot Development: First Steps and Lessons Learned - Part 2

Innovation never sleeps, and tech trends come at you from every angle. That's business as usual in the software developer's world. In 2017, microservices, containers, chatbots, blockchain, IoT, and other trends drew lots of attention and conversation. But what trends and technologies penetrated the hype to make a real difference?

In order to get a sense of what's happening on the street, we gathered a group of highly respected software developers, recognized leaders in the community, crammed them into a tiny hotel room in San Francisco (they were in town to present sessions at JavaOne and Oracle OpenWorld), tossed in a couple of microphones, and asked them to talk about the technologies that actually had an impact on their work over the past year. The resulting conversation is lively, wide-ranging, often funny, and insightful from start to finish. Listen for yourself.
