Take a Tour of Microsoft’s Azure Cosmos DB
In this webinar, you’ll get an overview of Azure Cosmos DB and all it has to offer. Come learn about these paradigms, and how to use Azure Cosmos DB to solve unique database problems.
Microsoft Custom Vision: Creating an Image Classification Model
Creating a model to classify images would usually involve creating your own deep learning model from scratch. This includes having a very large and diverse set of training images with a portion of them set aside as a test set, a good convolutional neural network as the model, and a GPU enabled machine to do…
Learn to Build Bots with The Microsoft Bot Framework
In this webinar, we’ll go over the different components of the Bot Framework and how to build your very first bot.
Microsoft Custom Vision: Predict Images with C#
In the previous post, we showed how to train an image classification model using the Microsoft Custom Vision service as well as to perform a quick test on a new image. However, what if you want to integrate this model into one of your applications that is using C#? Whether it’s an app that runs…
Creating a Daemon with .NET Core (Part 2)
This little project is a practical implementation of a blog post I wrote about implementing daemons in .NET Core. This daemon is a .NET Core console app that is using a Generic Host to host an MQTT Server based on the code in MQTTNet, which has become my go-to library for MQTT for .NET apps…
Using Azure Active Directory to Add World-Class Security in Under an Hour
Thanks to all that made it out to the Azure in the ATL meetup last night and thanks to Microsoft and Agile Thought for sponsoring the event and to John Garland for leading the group. Here are the slides from last night: Using Azure Active Directory to Add World-Class Security in Under an Hour For…
How to REALLY delete an Azure Active Directory B2C tenant
You probably landed here after feeling a little of the pain inherent in attempting to delete an Azure Active Directory B2C tenant. I have read several FAQ’s, How To’s, posts, and forum pleadings on the topic and I’ve yet to find one that definitively helped me remove above 20+ test B2C tenants clogging my menu…
Evaluate Your Models with Cross Validation in ML.NET
Let’s say you’ve been working on a machine learning model and your initial evaluation on test data looks good but is that the same kind of performance you’ll get once you deploy your model to take on actual data it hasn’t seen before? This can happen if your model has overfitted to your data. We…
Creating a Daemon with .NET Core (Part 1)
Daemons are as essential to servers as caffeine and pizza are to developers. The executables run as services on a server waiting to receive input usually from a network call, and respond to it by providing something back to the the user who called it. .NET Core is the venerable cross-platform development stack for Linux,…
Save and Read Models in ML.NET
Often times you’ll be iterating on your model to try to get it to perform well with new data, so you’ll be training on it for each of those iterations. However, once you feel like you have a model that you believe is good to use, what do you do next? In this post, we’ll…
Mastering Azure Network Addresses
If you want to master Azure, you must first understand how to master Azure networks and addresses.
Security Best Practices for Docker Images
Docker Hub is a blessing and a curse at times. It’s a great way to share Docker images to the public, but it can be used by hackers to sneak code into environments with malicious intent. Recently, a hacker uploaded images into Docker Hub that were downloaded over 5,000,000 times. The intent was to turn…
