Throughout Oracle Code One, developers will find more of the Java content they expect with extended workshops, talks, sessions and Hands-on-Labs to explore technologies from Oracle and the broader developer ecosystem, including GraalVM, Oracle JET, the Fn Project, OpenJFX and GraphPipe. Developers at Oracle Code One can also expect unexpected demos based on the latest emerging technologies, from AI to blockchain.

Among this year's exciting demos, sessions and keynotes, attendees will get to experience:

• The Code Card – With Wi-Fi, buttons and an e-link screen, developers can design their own Code Card IoT device. Visitors to the Groundbreaker Hub at Oracle Code One will be able to get their hands on the Code Card and join a workshop to learn how to program it using Oracle Cloud Functions, serverless technology powered by the Fn Project.
• Demo: Alpha Zero AI Algorithm Connect Four – The Meet the Experts Lounge on Monday, October 22 at 4:00 PM will feature an interactive demonstration of a neural network trained to play Connect Four using the AlphaZero algorithm and deployed using Oracle's open source GraphPipe.
• Demo: Blockchain Beer – An exclusive demo of how a micro-brewery outcompetes big brands with the blockchain.
• Panel: Groundbreaker Icons – A discussion by thought leaders in software development and open source, including Doug Cutting, (Hadoop), Neha Narkhede (Kafka), Graeme Rocher (Grails), Guido Van Rossum (Python) and Charles Nutter (JRuby).
• AR Scavenger Hunt Game – Guests in the Developer Lounge can win money for charity by searching for chess pieces with their phone cameras, by downloading a special app. Find the scavenger hunt image and a 3D Java Duke appears on the screen with a quiz on the JavaFX 11 platform. For each correct answer on the scavenger hunt, Oracle will donate money to Iridescent, a science, engineering and technology education nonprofit organization that empowers underrepresented young people to become self-motivated learners, inventors and leaders. A leaderboard in the Oracle Code One Developer Lounge will show the number of players, the number of correct answers and how much money has been raised for Iridescent.

Oracle Code One is also an opportunity for developers to learn about the wide range of open source and open standards which Oracle champions. Since joining the Cloud Native Computing Foundation last year, Oracle has continued to advance key serverless and container projects, including announcing new open serverless standard support on its open source Fn Project and critical new features for Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes to address key Kubernetes issues. Oracle  also contributed many of its Kubernetes projects to the open source community, including JenkinsX Supported Cloud Provider for OKE,  Flexvolume Driver, Volume Provisioner, Cloud Controller Manager and Terraform Kubernetes Installer. These announcements follow last year's announcement that Oracle open sourced several container utilities. For developers working on machine learning, Oracle recently announced that it open sourced GraphPipe, to simplify how enterprises deploy and query machine learning models from any framework. Earlier this year, Oracle also released GraalVM, a polyglot virtual machine to run Java and JVM languages with full support for JavaScript and Node.JS, plus early support for Ruby, Python, R and LLVM bitcode.

In 2019, Oracle will host over 300 events around the world to connect with and educate developers with workshops, sessions and keynotes featuring prominent experts. To learn more about Oracle Developer Events, please visit: https://developer.oracle.com/events
