There are more then 100+ Azure services!
The main hurdle when starting with Azure is selecting the right services from the 100+ Azure services available.
Should you deploy your Web app to App Service (Platform As A Service) or use a Virtual Machine (Infrastructure As A Service).
Looking to implement a messaging workflow? Should you use Storage queues or Service Bus queues?
Need to store data? Should you use a relational database like SQL Database or a NoSQL database like CosmosDB?
Instead of trying to cover every single Azure service, this course's focus is on Azure services making sense for Web developers like App Service, giving you a strong and concrete foundation that you can build on.
COURSE OUTLINE
This technical "workshop style" course covers the core Azure App Service concepts and guides you to build, deploy and monitor Web applications and is the ideal starting point to understand and use Azure effectively. You’ll experience several demos and "live coding" activities and be provided with the code throughout the course, as you learn how to build, deploy and monitor Web apps on Azure.

WHY IS THIS FOR ME?
Developer (C#, Node, Java, PHP, etc)
You're a Web developer and you've been tasked in building a new or deploying an existing Web app to Azure. You want to understand what Azure services to use and what tools can help you with your task. At the end of this course, you'll be able to select the right Azure services for the tasks at hand and create, deploy and manage Web apps on Azure.
Architect / Lead developer
You're the team's architect or lead developer and you've been tasked in moving existing and new appplications to Azure. You want to understand what Azure services to use when designing your Cloud architecture. At the end of this course, you'll have a good understanding of the essentials Azure services.
.NET ONLY? OF COURSE NOT!
This course's content and live activities includes NodeJS with Visual Studio Code and C# with Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio. The live coding activities will run on Windows, MacOS X and Ubuntu. It doesn't matter if you're using .NET, Java, PHP, Ruby or something else, back at work, simply use the Azure SDK for your specific platform and the concepts you'll have learned will still apply.
NodeJS and JavaScript
If you're are NodeJS developer, you'll be using NodeJS and JavaScript along with Visual Studio Code.

or
.NET and C#
If you're a .NET developer on Windows, you'll be using C# with .NET Core and Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 along with Visual Studio Code.
