In the interest of helping to navigate the information available out there, I’ve been putting out there ideas for this “Where Do I start” series on the blog. Right now as I previously mentioned I’ve been studying for the AI-100 exam, and as part of that effort I found a lot of resources online, and I thought I’d share these in the interest of helping others.

There are a wealth of resources out there and I want to make sure I focus your attention on resources related to Microsoft AI and how you can leverage these services as accelerators for your own application development.  I wanted to draw your attention to a lot of the key resources for getting started.
