Meet the faces behind the code
About
DevCon aims to be a by-the-community for-the-community software development conference. The goal is to have a yearly event, supported by carefully picked companies that care for the quality of our craft and staying up-to-date with new web and mobile technologies, languages, patterns and libraries. DevCon is accessible to everyone, focusing on in-depth talks, held by proven professionals from domestic and international IT communities. A conference with an accepting environment that provides space for making friends instead of recruitment, marketing or sales event. A place in which you can learn and meet like-minded folks that love what they do. Everyone likes being around like-minded people!

Chat with your own data by using LLaMA2 and LangChain
Tashko Pavlov
In today's world data is everywhere and generated every second - in structured, semi structured but mostly unstructured format. Yet, often data experts face the challenge of too much data to analyze. Along with that, we know how sensitive everyone is about their data. So how can data scientists process data on prem without the hidden background of some conversational models? The short answer is - with a system that can answer questions about data in a human-like way. In his talk, Tashko will dive deeper into how we can use open source models and libraries to develop chatbots for specific use cases.

Join Ben for a whistle-stop tour through some of the amazing things that the web is capable of today - from enhancements to the core technologies of HTML, CSS and JavaScript that make it easier for developers to craft delightful user experiences, to new and evolving features that are giving the web capabilities like it's never had before.
