This Week in Programming: Looking Past the Quantum AI Buzz at Microsoft Ignite - The New Stack

While Build may certainly be the Microsoft conference to pay attention to when it comes to developer-centric announcements, this week's Ignite conference had news aplenty as well. As you might expect, AI and Quantum computing took center stage in terms of developer-related news, according to one article in Visual Studio Magazine. "While the show largely targets IT pros and users, it also features plenty of developer-related content, which this year is highlighted by cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing announcements," they write. Included in these were new features for Azure Machine Learning, Azure Cognitive Services, Azure Bot Service, a new Cortana Skills Kit for Enterprise, and an upcoming update to that Quantum Development Kit. But really, this piece does a fine job summarizing these buzzworthy announcements, so we figured we'd plow ahead and take a look at several developer-related updates that were far less flashy but may have equal impact on your day-to-day.
