Programming Without Being a Developer - AI in Practice
Programming experiences gained through the use of AI as a business analyst and project manager — or in other words, how our colleagues use developer tools at work and in their personal lives to complete various tasks, even though the word "Python" used to make them think of a snake rather than a programming language. They will demonstrate, among other things, how they created mini Python programs with the help of AI to efficiently solve different work-related or personal tasks. These include bulk downloading and organizing files from websites, merging complex Excel files, and even developing solutions to support the analysis of artworks.
SSO - Keycloack, Accesso
The presentation offered an insight into the world of Single Sign-On (SSO), demonstrating how it simplifies and secures user authentication. We were introduced to Keycloak, the market-leading open-source SSO solution that provides robust functionality and flexible extension options. Using the SPI architecture, we explored how authentication processes and integrations can be customized to meet any unique requirement. The talk also covered how Keycloak connects with NextAuth, a combination that ensures smooth and secure authentication in modern web applications.

The presentation focused on Dev Containers, demonstrating how to create unified, container-based development environments. It explained the role of the devcontainer.json file, the advantages of platform-independent configuration, and how these solutions can support teamwork and streamline development workflows. The session also included practical examples and useful tips for applying Dev Containers effectively.
