The Future of Development

What does the future of development hold? There are millions of developers worldwide, both professional and hobbyist. What if those developers gain access to an environment that was always available, had infinite capacity, and was highly collaborative, would they change the way they develop?

Presentation held at the 2015 IMWorld event in Bucharest, Ro.

1. The future of development Stefan Cosma | @stefanbc
2. If "Software is eating the world"… …then why is it still so hard for developers to get started?
3. The outdated and current broken process… … requires 10 hours / week of configuring and administering of the environment
4. Software is getting complex Requires tangential knowledge Compute needs are increasing New developers are still struggling
5. Want enhanced collaboration Want a seamless localhost to cloud connection Want to invite their team to collaborate What are developers looking for? 16% 20% 64%
6. The future DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT ...
7. … should be shareable. … allows full administrative control. … allows teams to treat infrastructure as code. … has cloud-based computing capabilities, is infinitely scalable and doesn’t run out of resources (upgradable). … allows easy collaboration for remote team members, without the need of configure anything. … can be easily bundled into templates giving each sub-team full control over their development environment preferences.
8. Education Enablement Online education is very difficult if the teacher cannot set up an environment for their students.
9. Team Enablement The company setup shouldn’t require too much involvement from the developer. Just Plug and Code!
10. Say goodbye to localhost!
11. Cloud Based Development Platform
12. Provisioning No install No download Share Share and collaborate Permissions and privacy Scale Dynamically add resources Must be adaptable
13. A full Linux terminal in your browser Run vi, emacs, or any other of your favourite terminal command Full ssh access (inbound and outbound) Chromebook’s can now be full development machines Terminal
14. Amazon hosted, "real" VMs. No LXC based sliced hosts. Full sudo access to the virtual machine. Install anything. Public IPs for easy access from external hosts/ services/clients 1GB RAM, 3GB Storage, 1Core CPU VM
15. Browser based IDE that supports any programming language Open source! Supports code folding, soft tabs, autocomplete, word wrap, line numbers and much more! Full support for syntax highlighting and themes IDE
16. Global community of developers who are helping each other daily Private chats between two developers or a group Full support for markdown in posts and comments. Reply to code with code! Developers can create or follow any topic channel that they like Community
17. A fast growing developer platform with a huge user base that allows collaboration on large projects Built entirely on the premise of anywhere, anytime computing and learning Allows developers (old and new) to focus on the task at hand One model delivers use cases for individuals, companies and universities Advantages of a cloud based platform
18. Learning communities like code.org, plural sight are building code editors. Enterprises want to enable their developers but want to keep their code protected. Enable every software repo (Github, BitBucket, etc.) with a "Run Now" button. Potential
