Terms such as “cloud computing”, “containers”, “Kubernetes” and “DevOps” are on everyone’s lips. But what is actually behind it? This workshop will give you detailed answers.

You learn

• what cloud computing is
• how we define our “infrastructure as code
• Why containers have revolutionized software development
• what you need to consider when developing modern, cloud-native software
• and what all this has to do with the DevOps concept.

In addition to short lectures, there will be a variety of practical exercises in which we will try out what we have learned directly and gain our first practical experience with Azure, Terraform, Docker and Kubernetes.

Software development includes the topic of architecture. It is ideal if one person from a team can fulfill the role of architect. But is this where the developers’ responsibility ends? What are the responsibilities of a person in software development inrelationto architecture? And what makes architecture what it is?

In two days, you will learn what architecture is all about and how you can apply the knowledge you have learned as a software developer by means of short lectures and some exercises.

With increasing digitalization, information security is a growing factor in corporate process planning that hardly anyone can ignore. These are often legal obligations, compliance with which is often a prerequisite for legally permissible system operation. In addition to the essential legal contexts, the seminar therefore teaches the necessary basics of information security. The seminar concludes with a certificate of attendance from the datenschutz nord Akademie.

This content awaits you:

• Legal requirements for the implementation of IT security and their significance for companies
• Requirements for IT security in data protection
• Basic understanding of a risk analysis
• Basics of information security
• Organization of information security
• Threats and potential dangers
• Safety measures at a glance
• Be able to assess the implementation status
• Basic understanding of firewalls, security gateways, IDS (IPS)

AI is changing IT at breakneck speed. We therefore teach you the basics so that you can have your say and think along with us.

After a brief introduction, the main topics will be as follows:

• What is artificial intelligence?
• How does a neural network learn?
• Basics of language processing (NLP / NLU)
• Basics of image processing (Visual Recognition) – Current status of AI

How do you form a high-performance development team from many individuals, activate top performance and support them in contributing their expertise in the best possible way for the benefit of the customer?

The training itself is organized according to Scrum and thus shows that this procedure can be used profitably not only in software development. It is primarily about the experience of self-organization and the active participation of all participants in order to achieve joint team success.

At the end, you will look back on two days full of fun and aha-moments that will enable you to certify the knowledge you have acquired according to Scrum.

In this interactive workshop, you will use the innovation tool ‘Design Thinking’ to develop possible approaches for the implementation of future and user-oriented communication approaches in your company. This takes place in cooperative collaboration in interdisciplinary teams – two indispensable factors in times of digital transformation, which require a high degree of flexibility, the ability to react quickly and the ability to think and act both laterally and linearly.

In this one-day workshop, you will learn the basic techniques and methods for visually supporting meetings and discussions. With the help of flipcharts, you can inspire others with your content and convey information in a concise manner. This visualization method can also be used, for example, with pictograms and dynamic layouts for the design of picture notes, so-called sketchnotes, and can be transferred to whiteboards, blackboards and projector presentations.
