Identifying and fixing Issues in Code using AI-based tools

We’re teaming up with Tampa Java User Group to bring you Dr. Venkat Subramaniam for one more tech talk before the holidays: Identifying and fixing Issues in Code using AI-based tools!

Here’s what the talk’s about:
Software vulnerability is a huge concern. What's lurking in code is a question that keeps passionate programmers up at night. Is there a memory leak, what about a race condition, oh what about security issues, are we violating purity of functions when we're not supposed to? We have to maintain code that others have written and it's not always easy and quick to detect those defects ticking away in the code. In this presentation we will use AI based tools to detect issues in code, using multiple examples, and apply automated fixes and will reason about our approach and the change.

Join us at Embarc Collective for a smart talk on an important topic with one of the most interesting speakers around!
