Welcome to the Azure Up blog. It’s a great time to be a software
engineer. The cloud has opened all kinds
of new opportunities. The Azure platform
is one of the leading cloud platforms. Although it is Microsoft's cloud it is an open platform that supports a wide range of open source technologies. On this blog we will explore this platform using .NET, Python and Java.
The ever growing internet of things provides expanding opportunities for software engineers to leverage their skills. If you are not writing software for the devices themselves there are still ample opportunities to build backend systems to capture and analyze the avalanche of data that these devices produce. In this post we will be looking at creating a backend system for capturing connected device data for a hypothetical IOT device. We will be using Python and a lightweight framework called Flask to create a REST based endpoint that our device calls to submit location data. Our service will store its data in a NOSQL repository powered by Azure Cosmos DB. You can find the repository for this post here . One of the big trends in software engineering is the rising popularity of Python. This multipurpose language has a dominant position in the machine learning space. If you are looking to build some skills in Python but are not currently working on a machine learning project you...
