--- Session 1 ---

  • Implementing Continuous Integration for BI using VSTS (a bitrainer.nl course) *
    (http://www.bitrainer.nl/training/continuous-integration-in-microsoft-bi/)
    In this session, we’ll look at how to use Visual Studio Team Services to implement Continuous Integration for Microsoft BI projects. We’ll have a quick overview of the structure of VSTS, then dive in to set up the “build” and “release” stages for SQL Server, SSIS and SSAS projects. When time permits, we’ll also have a look at using structured and automated testing within VSTS. The patterns used in this session can easily be extended to other project types as well.

BI architect, full-stack lead dev, MCT alumnus. Loves automation: ETL generation, automated tests and automated coffee-serving drones. Recently he has been busy doing cloud stuff (mainly Azure). That’s a good thing, as far as he’s concerned.

  • Solving Real World Problems by developing simple Machine Learning models *

Machine Learning is everywhere but great data scientists are still a rare sight.
Luckily, it's become easier than ever to get started, even without a PhD.
I love combining different aspects of computer science to get results, so i took a Coursera course to learn Machine Learning.
And the results I was able to get after 6 months are amazing!
I'll be showcasing Real Time hand writing recognition through computer vision.
On top of that, I'll explain how you too can build this from scratch!
So, if you too have been wondering how you can develop and apply Machine Learning models without having a PhD, this is the right session for you!
