Technology Network Virtual Technology Summit March 8th & 15th & April 5th 2016

 

The Middleware track in this event offers you a choice.

  • Track 1: The Internet of Things
    This track starts with a look at IoT in the enterprise and an examination of three different architectures that incorporate the Oracle IoT Cloud Service. The next session drills down into a reference architecture that includes the IoT Cloud Service, plus Oracle’s Integration, Process, Big Data, and Mobile Cloud Services, and presents a demo showing the development of a vending machine case. The third and final IoT session shows you how to connect devices to the IoT Cloud Service and how to use Stream Explorer to display sensor data from those devices in a web application.
  • Track 2: WebLogic 12.2.1 and Java EE
    This track presents three in-depth technical sessions covering different aspects of WebLogic 12.2.1. The first is an extensive, code-driven introduction to developing Java EE 7 applications with WebLogic 12.2.1. The second session digs into WebLogic Multi-Tenancy fundamentals, and the final session shows how you can take advantage of WebLogic Server Zero Down-time Patching.

Can’t make up your mind? No worries! All VTS sessions are available on-demand after the live event.
