Microsoft Ignite Tour

I've been seeking to attend IT conventions as part of my quest to keep myself updated and in the loop and the Microsoft Ignite Tour at the Sandton Convention Center was a great way to start.

Various lectures centered on Azure (Microsoft's cloud) were given by experts and planned learning paths were available to select from on an online schedule builder. But we chose to attend sessions of which the titles peaked our interests and still we were not left dissappointed.

One of my favorite presentations was on "Understanding Data through Visualization" that introduced me to PowerBI which is a magnificent tool for data visualization through charts and graphs to present and explore the data.

My absolute favorite was on "Making your Application Intelligent" where the code behind Machine Learning was revealed and explained and we learned about ML.Net where you can experiment with Machine Learning.

The food was abundant and great. It was a well-planned event and I hope to attend more like this as they provide a great learning experience which intensely stimulates the intellect.
