Sessions details:

Taking Microservices to extreme with Azure Functions
Azure Functions and LogicApps are the backbone of Microsoft’s Serverless framework . Azure Functions introduce an event driven, compute-on-demand experience that provides a radical new approach on how you set up and run tasks, create APIs and microservices. With microservices being the focus of many organisations, Functions are a great choice for creating and running extremely scalable and performant solutions while addressing some common microservice challenges. What's even greater is that you can choose your favourite language and open source tools like Visual Studio Code or the Azure CLI to do all this. The new kid on the block is all about disrupting the traditional model for developers and enterprises and I will use this session to show you how.

Demystifying Machine Learning
Machine Learning.

Everyone is talking about it.

Everyone says they're doing it.

It's time we pull back the magic curtain and understand what hides behind it.

We'll look at the principals of Machine Learning and the process of Data Science together, and you'll see examples of applied Machine Learning using Azure Machine Learning.

You will, unfortunately, see that Machine Learning is not a silver bullet.

Nor is it magic.

It's just seriously awesome.
