Have you ever wondered whether YOU would survive the sinking of RMS Titanic or not? In this talk, we'll be using Visual Studio, C# and ML.NET to find out. Machine Learning is a hot topic these days. Business around the world are keen to utilise it; but doesn't it mean learning python?? In fact - no! These days it's not only possible to do ML in Visual Studio, but it's actually easy to produce high quality results with very little effort. Be warned though, there are ice bergs ahead....

Senior Developer at Müller Dairy | Microsoft MVP | O'Reilly Author

I've been working as a .NET developer for over 16 years now in a variety of industries including government, retail and manufacturing. But I've been hacking around with computer code since I was old enough to read my Dad's copy of the ZX Spectrum BASIC coders manual. I've been speaking about Functional C# at various user groups and conferences around the UK, USA, Europe and Australia and am particularly interested in seeing just how far we can push C# without breaking it. In 2023 I released my first technical book: "Functional Programming with C#", published by O'Reilly Media. When I'm not coding, or running after my two small children, I have been known to enjoy the classic series of Doctor Who, Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks, Cryptic Crosswords, and rather more coffee than is probably good for me.
