Taking Advantage of AI easily with Azure Cognitive Services
 VS Live Las Vegas, Las Vegas NV06 Mar 2019 |
Data Science and Artificial Intelligence are fascinating areas of computing. Microsoft is betting a lot on these new technologies, but we are also aware that data scientists are highly trained professionals, and that not every software developer can create and maintain complex data models, perform linear algebra or purchase expensive GPU rigs to run these models. This is exactly why we created Cognitive services. This suite of services offers pre-trained models that you can use out-of-the-box to...
Azure 101

VS Live Las Vegas, Las Vegas NV 05 Mar 2019 |
'There is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer…' That is true. But when this someone else is Microsoft, and takes care of all the maintenance of these huge server farms, you can redirect these resources used to take care of your own infrastructure to other important tasks, such as adding features for your users. However, at first sight, Microsoft Azure and its huge offering can seem daunting for a new user. In this presentation, Laurent Bugnion, a Cloud Developer Advocate with Azure will ...

MIG20: Moving your Database to Azure
 Microsoft Ignite | The Tour, Hong Kong21 Feb 2019 |
Northwind Traders kept the bulk of its data in an on-premises data center, which hosted servers running both SQL Server and MongoDB.

In this session we’ll show you how we migrated an on-premises MongoDB database to Azure Cosmos DB and SQL Server database to an Azure SQL Server Managed Instance. You’ll learn about data preparation decisions, performing the migration, and ensuring yo...
DAT20: Understanding data through visualization
|
Microsoft Ignite | The Tour, Hong Kong 20 Feb 2019 |
At Tailwind Traders we need to analyze massive amounts of data with agile data visualizations tools in order to discover patterns that might not be immediately recognizable. By connecting PowerBI to our data storage we were successfully able to build dashboards, interactive reports, charts, graphs, and other visuals that helped us unlock key business insight quickly and effectively. In this session we will show you how to use PowerBI and D3.js (an open source data visualization library) to bring...
.NET Standard, .NET Core, why and how?
 Microsoft Developers Meetup, Hong Kong18 Feb 2019 |
.NET Standard is the new way to create portable assemblies. After learning about portable class libraries in the past years, it is now time to upgrade our game and start coding for Linux, Mac OS and other platforms in addition to Windows. More and more libraries are getting ported to .NET Standard, sometimes really easily and sometimes more painfully. In this session, Laurent Bugnion, the creator of the popular open source MVVM Light Toolkit, will help you understand why .NET Standard can benefi...
