XAML is Microsoft's premium UI presentation technology. Building Windows Presentation Foundation app? That's XAML. Building a Silverlight app? That's XAML. Building a Windows Phone app? That's XAML. Building Windows Universal app? That's XAML, too. The native Windows 10 UI is XAML, the next version of Office is XAML, and Microsoft's first party out-of-the-box apps are also XAML. This session is for people ready to get started. Understand the concepts, implement the basics, and dabble in the advanced. 1:45 PM Saturday Room: S-160

We are in a time where people want things right now! Fast food, fast cars, fast life! This trend isn't just about how people live their life but it's creeping into how people consume data analytics as well. A near real-time report used to mean a snapshot of what happened 30 minutes ago and now has morphed into what happened in the last few seconds! By the end of this session, you will have taken a journey through how to handle a slow trickle of events from a single source, to large scale out architectures handling multiple data sources, multiple servers, and complex temporal queries. You'll dive into Azure Stream Analytics, a Complex event processing system, while relying on field delivery experience to let you know what works and what doesn't. We will look at multiple solutions which improve people’s lives through a proactive approach to real-time analytics.
