This course introduces you to the new not so new world of cloud computing and how to build on the Microsoft Azure Platform. Microsoft Azure provides a lot of the plumbing and “boring” stuff for you, so that you can focus on building things that matter. This course will teach you how to use Azure’s IaaS and PaaS offerings to build global, performant, resilient and secure applications. Agility in businesses has to go hand in hand with the technology that drives them, so this course also introduces you to Azure services which help developers in building intelligent solutions driven by server-less computing and cognitive services.
