Rate this book
Develop on a cloud platform designed for you
With our developer guide, you’ll see how our comprehensive set of app platform services fit your needs, helping you navigate the architectural approaches and most common design patterns you face when building modern applications. And because Azure is constantly evolving, sign up to be notified of updates to the guide to ensure you make the most of any new Azure service.


In this developer’s guide, you’ll discover how to:
Get started by using what you know
Whatever tools and skills you use to create or edit your applications in your on-premises environment, you can use with Azure—from existing IDEs and editors to open-source programming languages and frameworks.

Create more intelligent apps
Easily embed natural and contextual interaction within your applications through machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities—from enhanced search functionality to facial recognition to bot services.

Manage app security, identity, and access
Security and privacy are built into the Azure platform. Use a range of capabilities to help protect your services and data in the cloud, from authenticating users to encrypting data.

Choose how and where to deploy
Plan better, code together, and ship faster with Azure. Use the same containers, serverless computing, and Azure services to easily build, test, and deploy applications in the cloud or on-premises—you’re in control.

This is just a quick intro to Azure. It walks you through the list of available services, with very brief descriptions and web links for more info. Then it has a few walkthroughs for various Azure usage scenarios. (They weren't really applicable for me, so I only skimmed them.) It's a free ebook, so I wasn't expecting much. If you're just looking to get a quick Azure overview, this isn't a bad place to start.

A well written book that gives a good overview of Microsoft Azure services. I liked the organisation of the book and the links to more reading resources. The parctical buide your own apps at the end of the book was useful too fro some hands-on. Concise and useful book.
