Constantine Spathis CEO of Xogito provided a glimpse into what the future might be like.

The presentation started with current trends, those towards containerised micro services which drives

• Small loosely coupled services
• Simple communication (JSON/protobufs/thrift)
• Containerised for quick deployment
• Increase use of “full stack” developers
• Simple database schemas

In the future everything will be thinking and where as before you had to get a number of specialists to be able to develop such software today you can use existing tools:

• SciKit-learn
• NumPY
• Weka
• Deep Learning
• NLP
• And more…

The presentation also a quick jump around different technologies and companies, probably with the most interesting one being Magic Leap
