The�IoTallows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer - based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit.
Machine learning�is a subfield of computer science that evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory in artificial intelligence.�Machine learning�as a�"Field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed".
Various features of Azure like activating an account on�Azure,�Azure account subscription using unique key and publish a site on Azure using�Web Matrix�was explained in details followed by�lab session .
