You just finished the first chapter, which not only introduces you to predictive analytics, machine learning, and Azure ML, but also sets the context for the rest of the book. You started by exploring predictive analytics and learned about the different stages for a typical predictive analytics task. You then moved on to a high-level understanding of machine learning by gaining some knowledge about it. You also learned about the common type of problems solved through machine learning and some of the popular algorithms. After that, you got a very high-level overview of Azure ML and ML Studio.
The next chapter is all about ML Studio. It introduces you to the development environment of Azure ML with an overview of the different components of ML Studio.
