- Azure IoT Hub deployment with ARM template and how to retrieve the primary connection stringIn this article we will create an ARM template that will deploy an IoT Hub and output the primary connection string along with the Event Hub compatible connection string. If you are building an IoT solution and need reliable and secure communications between your IoT devices and your cloud-hosted solution backend then you are probably looking at the following Azure product: Azure IoT Hub. Today we will focus on creating an Azure Resource Manager template to easily setup and deploy an IoT Hub to a resource group. Our ARM template will be created in a new Azure Resource Group deployment… Read more: Azure IoT Hub deployment with ARM template and how to retrieve the primary connection string
- Use Azure Cognitive Services to recognize karting images with Custom Vision serviceFor this we will use the public preview of Custom Vision Service Prediction API. In the previous article about Custom Vision Service we saw how to train Azure Cognitive Services to recognize karting images thanks to Custom Vision Service Training API in a .NET console application. Today we will see how to actually recognize karting images using Custom Vision Service Prediction API relying on the model we trained with our own data. To start we will create a project with the .NET Console App template in Visual Studio. Before starting you will need to have a Prediction Key… Read more: Use Azure Cognitive Services to recognize karting images with Custom Vision service
- Global Azure Bootcamp Montréal and Ottawa 2018All around the world user groups and communities want to learn about Azure and Cloud Computing! On April 21, 2018, all communities will come together once again in the fifth great Global Azure Bootcamp event! This free event is a great way to know more about Azure, and I’ll be at Lixar HQ in Ottawa to present and assist you all day.
- Training Azure Cognitive Services to recognize karting images with Custom Vision serviceFor this we will use the public preview of Custom Vision Service Training API. We previously saw how to use the Azure Cognitive Services Vison API named Computer Vision to analyze a karting image. Today thanks to the public preview of Custom Vision Service we will train Azure Cognitive Services to recognize karting images. It means that we take a different approach because here we will use our own data to recognize images as opposed to using Vison API Microsoft’s data. To start we will create a project with the .NET Console App template in Visual Studio. Before starting… Read more: Training Azure Cognitive Services to recognize karting images with Custom Vision service

Racing a karting to surpass myself and push my limits
Car race fan and amateur karting driver, I like this sport because it requires physical strength but especially mental strength.
Beyond that, the most important is that after each race you had fun!
I participate in the Québec championship. Follow my results on my Speedhive driver page.
