Damian talks to Microsoft's Paige Bailey as well as MVP Terry McCann about DevOps for Data Science. These two really popular fields are not often combined, but there are some fantastic opportunities for cross-pollination of ideas. Damian, Paige and Terry discuss what's important to data scientists and where to start when it comes to a DevOps process. From using source control, testing and refreshing predictive models to operationalizing and evaluating success in production. Data scientists are rarely developers, and developers are rarely data scientists, but they can work together, using tools and techniques that still allow the experts to do what they do best!

In the third episode of this series, Dmitry and Suz introduce a smart home device prototype designed to integrate several devices and Azure services together. This smart home device makes use of a proximity sensor, temperature sensor, webcam, and a small HDMI screen. The Azure services the device connects to are Azure IoT Hub and the Face API offering from Microsoft Cognitive Services.There are a number of ways to interface with devices and sensors on the Raspberry Pi using Windows IoT Core. Dmitry and Suz will talk about three: Built-in UWP APIs, Nuget packages and manually writing drivers directly in C#. You can find all the episodes in this series as they go live in our YouTube playlist.
