"The Azure Machine Learning Workbench is a client application that runs on Windows and Macs. It has an easy set-up and installation and will install a configured Python environment, complete with conda, Jupyter, and more, along with connectivity to all of the backend services in Azure. We intend it to be a control panel for your development lifecycle and a great way to get started using the services."
