The Atlanta Code Camp 2019 will be on September 14th 2019. Stay tuned for the opening of the Call for Papers and the subsequent Schedule and Agenda. Also, if you or anyone you know would like to sponsor Atlanta Code Camp 2019, reach out and let us know!
I am happy to announce I will speaking at the Orlando Code Camp again this year. I will be presenting AI on the Edge, a look into Microsoft’s Azure IoT Edge.
AI on the Edge
The next evolution in cloud computing is a smarter application not in the cloud. As the cloud has continued to evolve, the applications that utilize it have had more and more capabilities of the cloud. This presentation will show how to push logic and machine learning from the cloud to an edge application. Afterward, creating edge applications which utilize the intelligence of the cloud should become effortless.
My Pluralsight course, Identifying Existing Products, Services, and Technologies in Use for Microsoft Azure, is out an available here. Check it out, here is the short and long descriptions:
The interview I had with .NET Rocks! is here.
Coming soon I will be authoring a course for Pluralsight titled – “Identify Existing Products, Services and Technologies in Use For Microsoft Azure” . This course targets software developers who are looking to get started with Microsoft Azure services to build modern cloud-enabled solutions and want to further extend their knowledge of those services by learning how to use existing products, services, and technologies offered by Microsoft Azure.
Microsoft Azure is a host for almost any application, but determining how to use it within existing workflows is paramount for success. In this course, Identify Existing Products, Services and Technologies in Use, you will learn how to integrate existing workflows, technologies, and processes with Microsoft Azure.
We explore Microsoft Azure with the following technologies:
Hopefully we can take a developer familiar with the languages, frameworks, and ides available and make have them up and running on Microsoft Azure after this short course.
TechBash created EventBrite discount codes for each speaker to share with developers in our community. My code is Rhodes. Each code provides a $40 discount on any Standard 3-day or 4-day ticket. That’s 10% off admission to the core 3 days of the event.
September 20th at Cobb Center in Detroit I will be presenting:
In this presentation, we will look at the how users interface with machines without the use of touch. These different types of interaction have their benefits and pitfalls. To showcase the power of these user interactions we will explore: Voice commands with mobile applications, Speech Recognition, and Computer Vision. After this presentation, attendees will have the knowledge to create applications that can utilize voice, video, and machine learning.
Users use voice (Alexa, Cortana, Google Now) or video as a mode of interaction with applications. More than a fad, this is a natural interface for users and is becoming more and more common with the ever-decreasing size of hardware.
Different types of interaction have their benefits and pitfalls. To showcase the power of these user interactions we will explore: Voice commands with two app types: UWP and Xamarin Forms (iOS and Android). Speech Recognition with Cognitive Services: Verifying the speaker with Speaker Recognition API. Computer Vision with Cognitive Services: Verifying a user with Face API.
By utilizing UWP, Xamarin, and Cognitive services; a device with the ultimate in customization for user interactions will be created. Come and see how!
Code Camps are community focused events by and for the developer community. The Atlanta Code Camp draws upon the expertise of local and regional developers, architects, and experts who come together to share their real world experiences, lessons learned, best practices, and general knowledge with other interested individuals.

Registration Time: 8:00 AM to 8:45 AM
Time: 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Location: Kennesaw State University, Marietta, GA (formerly Southern Polytechnic State University)
Address: 1100 South Marietta Parkway, Marietta, GA 30060
Ticket Price: $10 (Cover your lunch)

This year I will be presenting Enable IoT with Edge Computing and Machine Learning at TechBash. Here is the outline:
Being able to run compute cycles on local hardware is a practice predating silicon circuits. Mobile and Web technology has pushed computation away from local hardware and onto remote servers. As prices in the cloud have decreased, more and more of the remote servers have moved there. This technology cycle is coming full circle with pushing the computation that would be done in the cloud down to the client. The catalyst for the cycle completing is latency and cost. Running computations on local hardware softens the load in the cloud and reduces overall cost and architectural complexity.
The difference now is how the computational logic is sent to the device. As of now, we rely on app stores and browsers to deliver the logic the client will use. Delivery mechanisms are evolving into writing code once and having the ability to run that logic in the cloud and push that logic to the client through your application and have that logic run on the device. In this presentation, we will look at how to accomplish this with existing Azure technologies and how to prepare for upcoming technologies to run these workloads.
The Atlanta Code Camp call for speakers is open and we are looking for speakers on the following topics:
The event will be at the Marietta campus of Kennesaw State University and out keynote will be Jeremy Likeness.
