Hi there, my name is Scott Duffy. And I love making complex technical topics easy to understand.
This has been the basis of my entire career – as a developer, as a development manager, as a software architect – over the past 20 years. I spend half my time in the world of business, explaining complex technical topics to business owners and stakeholders so that they can understand and agree with my approach to solving their business problems with technical solutions. And the other half with developers, explaining the business reasons behind decisions and ensuring that any decisions made on the technical side don't restrict the business in unexpected ways.
And I'm here on Udemy to teach what I know in an approachable way. I started teaching courses in 2014, and have taught over 1,600,000 students. I am grateful every day for being able to connect with so many students in almost every country around the world.
I'm a certified Enterprise Architect and certified cloud architect. I have been developing with Microsoft technologies for 20 years, starting with Classic ASP, and all the versions of .NET. We now live in the cloud era, with Microsoft Azure being prevalent in most large enterprises. I'm certified as an Azure Architect and Developer too. As well as AWS Solution Architect Associate (SAA).
Microsoft MVP Award winner for 2022-2025.

By Siva Sateesh on 2/4/2023
Thanks a lot for a wonderful content and covered most of the topics.

This course is fine for getting familiar with this material on a surface level, but expect to have to do some deep digging on your own to mine the real nuggets you need to pass the exam. There are a lot of such things you need to seek out and commit to memory, like the default values for various things. Those aren’t even mentioned here, but if you know Microsoft, anything is fair game in testing so you need to prepare. No regrets for purchasing this, there’s always plenty to learn and absorb.

I already learned a lot about Azure SQL database before joining the course. So it's easy for me to follow. I like the excercise.
By Luis Henrique Vibranovski on 1/7/2022
Complete, straight forward with the teacher doing a lot of examples on the portal while he explains the content
By Alvin Artis on 1/6/2022
I can't see the bottom portion of the presenter's screen. Portion of the lecture the video stops but the audio continued. I filled in the blanks based upon the captions but may need correcting. Other than that, I am learning a lot and I will need to watch several more time to incorporate the new Azure DB jargon into my lexicon.
By Sudipta Ghosh on 12/15/2021
Excellent training but practice test paper answers explanation have lot of printing mistakes. Answers not mapped to question options properly. Pls correct asap.
