While lots of people like to do their data prep in code some tasks are faster and more easily done in a GUI, what's even better is a set of capabilities where you can pick and choose when and how to work in code and when to work in a GUI that work together. This show will demonstrate how we make Seth's life easier and faster in terms of data prep, allowing him to focus his nerdiness on modelling.

This is the first of a three part series where Robert is joined by Chris Woodruff who shows how to build ASP.NET Core Web APIs. In this episode, Chris shows how to kick off your first project and what ASP.NET Core 2.1 offers that makes our developer lives better! He looks at Dependency Injection, Entity Framework Core and other .NET Core goodies to make your APIs the best for all platforms.

As discussed in Episode 4 data preparation can be a very time consuming and error prone part of the advanced analytics process. In this show, we look at the recently released AML data prep SDK that uses AI and ML to make the data prep process easier and faster. Getting Started docs for the SDK are here https://github.com/Microsoft/MSDataPrepDocs

This is the fourth of a four part series where Robert is joined by Phil Japikse to discuss unit testing. This series expands on the 2017 Unit Testing episode. In this final episode, Robert and Phil tie it all together. How do you add Unit Testing into existing code? When should you, as well as when should you not?

The Qualcomm LTE for IoT SDK allows IoT device OEMs, cloud solution providers and app developers to utilize the capabilities of the MDM9206 chip for cloud support and IoT applications through easy to use APIs, and now pre-integrates full support for Azure IoT Hub. This means that in addition to allowing a simple and straight forward network connectivity for IoT devices based on their chip, Qualcomm makes it as simple to connect these devices to Azure IoT. Nagaraju Naik and Murali Bharadwaj join Olivier on the IoT Show to demo the recently announced integration.

Scott Jeschonek joins Azure Friday and Lara Rubbelke to introduce Avere vFXT for Azure, a new Azure Marketplace product with big possibilities for high-performacne computing (HPC) environments. Avere vFXT for Azure solves the core issue of running performance-demanding workloads that require NFS backends in the cloud, leveraging either on-premises storage or Azure Blob, without the expected latency or storage bottlenecks inherent to read-heavy processing.
