<p>We so can't wait to see you all at Granite State Code Camp 2022!<br><br>GSCC2022 is a one-day conference on Saturday, November 12th, 2022, simultaneously online AND in-person at Manchester Community College in Manchester, NH. The event is for the tech community that focuses on software development and software engineering. There is no charge for attendees. Dozens of professionals volunteer their time to share knowledge with fellow developers. All technology tribes are welcome, and topics are only constrained by what speakers volunteer to present (about code). There are a wide range of coding related topics that make Code Camp a popular and valuable event for professionals at all stages of their careers, rivaling conferences that cost thousands of dollars to attend. The conference is organized by software developers of the New Hampshire developer community who also volunteer, with the encouragement of the New Hampshire Technical Alliance and fiscal organizational support of Granite State Users Groups, LLC. Food, raffles and other considerations included in free admission are paid for in-person attendees by the generosity of our sponsors, who represent the best of the best community-promoting companies to work with and/or for in the Greater New Hampshire Area. #gscc2022 <a href="https://granitestatecodecamp.org">https://granitestatecodecamp.o...</a></p>

Azure Percept will alter your perceptions, especially the one that AI on the Edge is something closer to SF than to production. 
The goal of this presentation is a deeper dive on what is Azure Percept. You will understand what the vision of Edge from Microsoft is. And will look a bit more on where Azure Percept seems to be going.
But mostly we will see what the ways are to use it in our applications, what are the architectures, what other components we need. All with a focus on practical and usable right now.
Of course, we will have live demos.

Many organizations are consolidating all their informational assets into data lake.  This is a great idea since all the data is located in one place, both structured and unstructured data can be stored, and many different types of users can access the data.

Traditionally, a SPARK cluster is used to manipulate the data stored in the lake via quality zones.  This data engineering batch process can be scheduled at night.  The more powerful the SPARK cluster is, the more costly is the AZURE bill. Since most data is written once and read many times, how can we reduce the cost of our companies read activities?

Azure Synapse Serverless SQL pools allows the architect to replace the interactive SPARK cluster with a lower cost service. The OPENROWSET and EXTERNAL TABLE commands have been the traditional way to use POLYBASE to read schema on demand. However, this syntax can be time consuming to setup.  Recently, Microsoft has released the LAKE DATABASE that abstracts this underlying mechanism via the Azure Portal.

To recap, having high powered SPARK clusters waiting to satisfy read operations against the data lake can be costly.  A better alternative is to use Azure Synapse Serverless SQL pools that only charge you when you run queries.  Today we will explore the different ways to setup a Serverless SQL pool.
