Azure has a lot of services, some of which don't get much fanfare. Azure Cognitive Services might be a service that you haven't heard much about but that has a lot of useful features. Sam Nasr joins us to look into some of their APIs including vision and speech. After that we talk about SQL Server FileTables for storing files and directories. Last but not least Sam tells us about his user group in Cleveland and how it has impacted his life and career. Have you used Azure Cognitive Services? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast.
