This chapter helps learners understand how they can use Azure Functions to achieve DevOps principles and build high-quality applications with ease.

Chapter 4 of the course moves on to explore the varied Azure Functions templates that are available to developers. These templates help speed up the development process by providing pre-built code snippets and configurations. Moreover, learners will understand how they can integrate various services of Azure with Azure Functions.

The last chapter of the course explores advanced topics, including Durable Functions that provide a way to write long-running, stateful workflows in Azure Functions, and integration with Azure Event Hubs, a highly scalable data streaming platform.

Throughout the course, learners will be building a real-world application using Azure Functions, which will help them to apply their learning in a practical setting. The course also comes with downloadable resources including code snippets, presentation slides, and other learning resources that will help learners to get the most out of the course.

The course is designed to meet the needs of both developers and non-developers who are looking to leverage serverless computing to their advantage. With a step-by-step approach, this video course helps to bring learners up to speed with Azure Functions in a simple and effective way.

In summary, Getting Started with Azure Functions is an excellent course for anyone looking to explore the world of serverless computing using Azure Functions. It provides a foundation for understanding the key concepts and features of Azure Functions, and how they can be used to develop powerful applications. The course is delivered in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for anyone to follow and apply their learning. Additionally, the course comes with additional resources that enhance the learning experience and aid in improving the knowledge of the learners.

June 26, 2017

Is there a good tool for developers to use for develop Azure Functions locally? Is it free and easy to use?

29. Debugging Your Azure Functions

June 26, 2017

What if you can't figure out why your Azure Function is failing? Can you debug the code? Can you step through your Azure Function remotely on the server?

27. Using the Postman REST Client

June 26, 2017

Calling a sophisticated REST endpoint is hard to set up with your browser or with an integration test. But there is a free tool that makes it super easy. It's called Postman. How to use the Postman tool?

26. C# Integration Tests

June 26, 2017

To ensure that your Azure Functions are running properly, you may want to use integration tests in your projects. How would you use them properly?

25. Moving to a Serverless Architecture

June 26, 2017

In the previous video, we gave you some best practices for a serverless architecture. Now you're ready to start moving your big monolithic application to lightweight Functions that don't require you to manage the infrastructure. In this video, I'll give you some pointers on moving to a serverless architecture.

24. Serverless Best Practices

June 26, 2017

In our previous video, we talked about some of the challenges you may have if you rely on a serverless architecture. In this video, I'm going to give you some hope; there are some practices you can follow that will help you maintain your sanity in your serverless home.

23. Serverless Considerations

June 26, 2017

You're excited about serverless. You may even have ported everything over to Azure Functions in your head! Before you start shutting down your traditional servers, let's take a sober look at some things that you should consider before you have 400 Azure Functions taking over your life.
