This training program includes 4 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Getting Started with Azure Functions, covers serverless Architecture to Build Scalable Cloud System. This tutorial starts with the basics of Azure Functions and then shows you how to create functions such as WebHooks, Azure Connected, and event processing. Moving ahead, the video demonstrates how to develop, manage, deploy, and monitor your Azure functions in almost any language such as C#, F#, Node.js, Python, PHP, as well as scripting options such as Bash, Batch, and PowerShell. Next, you'll see how to scale your functions and use them to process data, integrate systems, and build simple APIs and microservices. Finally, we'll cover some diagnostic techniques with Azure App Services and the best practices of working with Azure Functions. By the end of this tutorial, you will be well-versed with the techniques of scaling your Azure Functions and making the most of the serverless architecture.

The second course, Azure Functions - Essentials, covers getting started with the essentials of Azure Serverless Functions. The course starts with intermediate-level videos on cloud application development, along with configuring notifications using the SendGrid and Twilio services and the key features of Azure Functions. Then, you'll delve into the core aspects of Azure Functions (such as the services it provides and how you can develop and write Azure functions) and explore continuous integration and continuous deployment with Visual Studio Team Services. By the end of this video, you will have all the skills required to work with serverless code architectures, thus providing continuous delivery to your users.

The third course, Serverless Azure Functions: Debugging, Deployment, and Chatbots, covers discovering the Power of Serverless with Azure Functions, Queues and CosmosDB. Azure Functions provides great solutions for processing data, integrating systems, and building simple APIs to complex micro-services without having to worry about underlying infrastructure for scalability. This volume covers how a serverless application can be designed. By the end of the course, you'll have mastered how Azure Functions can be a great tool to design highly scalable web services. You'll also have created a production-level solution of a chatbot with serverless tools such as CosmosDB and Queues with a good understanding of why they were chosen and how they play an important role in the design of the serverless architecture.

The fourth course, Azure Functions - Best Practices, covers building applications hosted on serverless architecture using Azure Functions.

By the end of the course, you'll build applications hosted on serverless architecture using Azure Functions as well as Deploy, Monitor, Debug and Design Scalable Solutions with Azure Serverless Computing.
