Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure AZ-204 Exam Guide

Discover the essentials for success when developing and maintaining cloud-based solutions on Azure. Azure developers participate in all phases of cloud development through the software development lifecycle. This book will help those developers gain more knowledge on developing solutions for Microsoft Azure and subsequently get certification.

Build a thorough understanding of the technology, concepts, and development patterns used in building applications in Azure, through detailed explanations, hands-on exercises, and downloadable code samples

• Written by two Microsoft technical trainers to help you explore the exam topics in a structured way
• Understand the “why”, and not just “how” behind design and solution decisions
• Follow along examples with downloadable code samples to help cement each topic's learning objective

With the prevalence of cloud technologies and DevOps ways of working, the industry demands developers who can build cloud solutions and monitor them throughout their life cycle. Becoming a Microsoft-certified Azure developer can differentiate developers from the competition, but with such a plethora of information available, it can be difficult to structure learning in an effective way to obtain certification.

Through easy-to-understand explanations and exercises, this book will provide a more palatable learning experience than what you may expect from an exam preparation book. You'll start off with a recap of some important cloud concepts, such as IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. From there, you'll learn about each relevant solution area, with use cases. The chapters also cover different implementation methodologies, both manual and programmatic – ranging from compute resources such as App Service and serverless applications to storage, database, security, monitoring solutions, and connecting to third-party services.

By the end of this book, you'll have learned everything you need to pass the AZ-204 certification exam and have a handy, on-the-job reference guide.

• Develop Azure compute solutions
• Discover tips and tricks from Azure experts for interactive learning
• Use Cosmos DB storage and blob storage for developing solutions
• Develop secure cloud solutions for Azure
• Use optimization, monitoring, and troubleshooting for Azure solutions
• Develop Azure solutions connected to third-party services

This book is for Azure developers looking to improve their Azure development knowledge to pass the AZ-204 exam. This book assumes at least one year of professional development experience with Azure, with the ability to program in at least one language supported by Azure. Existing Azure CLI and PowerShell skills will also be useful.
