This course is designed for .NET developers who want to learn how to design, build, and deploy modern applications on Azure.
Throughout the course, students will learn the fundamentals of cloud computing and how Azure implements these concepts, and then move on to the practical use of the most relevant services for .NET applications. The course covers creating and managing Azure resources, deploying applications to Azure App Service, and analyzing vertical and horizontal scaling, performance, monitoring, and backup strategies. It also uses Azure SQL Database for relational data management and explores different ways to connect Azure App Service to the database, such as using managed identities.
The course goes deeper into Azure Storage, taking a hands-on approach to working with Blob Storage, Queue Storage, and Table Storage. This includes real-world scenarios such as uploading and downloading files, asynchronous processing using queues, and handling semi-structured data without relying on relational databases. Students will learn how to properly integrate these services from .NET applications, following best practices for design and security.
In addition, the course introduces the serverless model through Azure Functions, explaining triggers, bindings, security considerations, and limitations. It then covers Azure Durable Functions, helping students understand how to model complex processes, orchestrations, long-running workflows, and patterns such as fan-out / fan-in in a reliable and scalable way.
By the end of the course, students will have a solid, practical understanding of Azure focused on .NET development, enabling them to choose the right services, integrate storage and asynchronous processing, implement serverless solutions, and design scalable, maintainable, production-ready cloud applications.
