This will help you add features to your application, such as language translation and object detection in images or videos. Furthermore, you'll explore a comprehensive list of tips and best practices to make your migration smooth. You'll also gain the necessary knowledge to write code from scratch, by employing the basics of hybrid cloud applications and build services that can run virtually anywhere.
