I’m in Las Vegas this week for Ready and Inspire, Microsoft’s internal / external conference, and have been teaching colleagues how to create their own ML / DL models and deploy them to the cloud for customers to consume. The AI team at Microsoft has also done a great job of putting together resources for…
I just returned from one of Microsoft’s Open Hack events in Toronto, where we coded alongside engineers from several other companies across the region. Link to the GitHub repository One of the challenges required that we’d be able to deploy a trained model to Azure, which would expose an HTTP endpoint. From there, we’d be…
Useful libraries for data visualization Great overview / comparison of these libraries, at pbpython.com. There are so many libraries and frameworks used in Python for data analysis that I had to take a step back and illustrate how they were laid out. PyDataSet Provides instant access to many datasets right from Python (in pandas DataFrame…
While I was at a code camp in Minneapolis this weekend, several of my peers told me I could quickly spin up an FAQ bot, which would be far more interesting (and interactive) than a boring FAQ page. They said it could be done in minutes, and I was up for a challenge, so off…

View the source on GitHub. I put together a brief sample, largely based off of James Montemango’s Plugin.Media extension for Xamarin.Forms. I just wanted to quickly test out Xamarin’s camera functionality, so I built this. In the future, I’ll add support for Azure Blob Storage, which would allow you to upload the image to the…
I recently started working on a Xamarin.Forms project, where I need to use Azure Blob Storage to host pictures taken from a mobile device’s camera. Along the way, I came across several great tutorials illustrating how to take advantage of blob storage, but they were all missing one key part: I couldn’t use this namespace: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob;…
Follow my stream at Twitch.tv/DaveVoyles In the last few months I decided to start streaming the games I’m playing, podcasts I record, and programming tutorials that I create. I use OBS (Open Broadcast Software) for all of this, which is a free tool for recording and streaming audio and video from your computer. I created…
The HTML5 gamepad API allows you interact with the web browser through a traditional gamepad, whether it is from Microsoft, Sony, or some other third party product. Bear in mind that it is an experimental technology, so that means it isn’t implemented in every browser (yet). Mozilla has some fantastic docs and examples for the…
