Talk Abstract: In this session we are going to discuss several Microsoft Azure services that may be interesting for students, developer and researchers. We will start with some PaaS services that allow you to build Web Applications and Internet of Things solutions. In the first demo you will be able to see how to deploy a basic web site even without any knowledge in Azure. In the second demo we will cover IoT Hub, Stream Analytic and Power BI services. The second important topic in the presentation is Big Data. Thanks to Azure you can use lots of Big Data services like HDInsight, Data Lake and Azure Date Lake Analytics. We will discuss all of them.
