Introduzione

In this course students will gain the knowledge and skills needed to leverage Azure storage services and features in their development solutions. It covers Azure Table storage, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Blob, and developing against relational databases in Azure.

Students in this course are interested in Azure development or in passing the Microsoft Azure Developer Associate certification exam.

Prerequisiti

Students should have 1-2 years experience as a developer. This course assumes students know how to code and have a fundamental knowledge of Azure.

It is recommended that students have some experience with PowerShell or Azure CLI, working in the Azure portal, and with at least one Azure-supported programming language. Most of the examples in this course are presented in C\# .NET

Struttura del Corso

MODULE 1: Develop solutions that use Azure Table storage

Azure Table storage is a service that stores structured NoSQL data in the cloud, providing a key/attribute store with a schemaless design. Because Table storage is schemaless, it's easy to adapt your data as the needs of your application evolve.

Lessons

After completing this module, students will be able to:

 

Understand the features and uses of Azure Table storage

Know how to utilize Shared Key authorization

Know how to use the Azure Table storage REST service to manage data

MODULE 2: Develop solutions that use Azure Cosmos DB storage

This module covers Azure Cosmos DB storage. It instructs students on how it works, how to manage containers and items, and create and update documents by using code.

Lessons

After completing this module, students will be able to:

 

Understand core features and functionality of Azure Cosmos DB

Be able to manage containers and items

Be able to create and update documents by using code

MODULE 3: Develop solutions that use a relational database

SQL Database is a general-purpose relational database managed service in Microsoft Azure that supports structures such as relational data, JSON, spatial, and XML.

Lessons

After completing this module, students will be able to:

 

Know how the Azure SQL Database service works

Create, read, update, and delete database tables by using code

MODULE 4: Develop solutions that use Microsoft Azure Blob storage

Azure Blob storage is Microsoft's object storage solution for the cloud. Blob storage is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data. Unstructured data is data that does not adhere to a particular data model or definition, such as text or binary data.

Lessons

After completing this module, students will be able to:

 

Understand when and why to use Azure Blob storage

Know how to set and retrieve Blob storage properties and metadata

Know how to replicate and copy Blobs
