Azure Birmingham UK User Group - 8th December 2016, 6.15pm Session 1: Andrew Hoh - An Introduction to Document DB
Session 2: Ian Pike - Twitter, Azure and Power BI Walk Into a Bar
Agenda - UPDATE 6.15pm – 6:30pm Meet & Greet
6:30pm - 7:30pm Andrew Hoh - An Introduction to Document DB
Data analysts, data engineers, and application developers are supporting unprecedented rates of change, whether talking about latency requirements to the expanding arena of data usage scenarios. While the technology functionality must rapidly evolve to meet customer needs and respond to competitive pressures, how can we enhance the data platform to help manage this unpredictability?
To help address these realities, data practitioners from a diverse set of backgrounds are increasingly relying on schema-free, distributed, scalable, and high-performance data storage (also known as NoSQL databases). In this session, we will showcase a wide variety of customer scenarios, business goals, and technical challenges faced by real-world customers. More importantly, how adding Azure Document DB into a data practitioner’s arsenal within the Microsoft/Azure data ecosystem will allow you to easily solve these complex design patterns at massive scale.
7:30pm – 8:30pm Ian Pike - Twitter, Azure and Power BI Walk Into a Bar
Twitter, Azure and Power BI walked into a bar. The bartender looks up and says “I don’t have time for your Dashboard.”
A review of a proof of concept I’ve been working on around Customer Sentiment analysis using Twitter, SSIS and Power BI. I’ll walk through the background of the PoC, the tools I used and the tips and tricks learnt along the way. I’ll covering the Power BI Dashboard and some insights of using this technology but not a deep dive into creating dashboards. Giving an overview of the Twitter API, the data storage and processing, also the ways to get sentiment score. This is all done in Azure and how this can help you innovate and become a “disruptive” influence in your company.
