Course Description

Learn Advanced Microsoft Azure Services from a certified, experienced Azure Architect.

(See what students of my Azure course are saying about it later on this page)

Microsoft Azure is one of the most popular public clouds in the industry, and it gets bigger and bigger by the day. Thousands of organizations, from all sizes and shapes, are moving to the cloud, and being able to work with it is one of the most important skills for every developer, architect, or IT admin.

Getting familiar with Azure is really important, but that's often not enough.

Even if you master the basics (VMs, networking, app services, databases etc.) - well, these are just a fraction of the services Azure has to offer.

There are hundreds of services in Azure, and you should be familiar with as many as possible on order to really take advantage of the cloud.

And this course does just that - it covers four of the advanced Azure services, which can make your life as an architect and developer much easier.

These services are:

- IOT Hub

- API Management

- Notification Hub

- Cognitive Services

These services are extremely useful, and quite easy to use, and I'm sure you'll use them in your cloud apps after you'll learn about them in this course.

Now, I really wanted to make sure that this course is the best Azure Services course out there, and so I decided to make it a little bit different.

Instead of going through the various features of the Azure services and just talking about each one of them - this course takes a different approach.

This course is the most practical course about Azure services out there.

Yes, we're going to discuss the services, but then we'll actually work with them.

We'll create them, configure them, use them, integrate them in a working app, code them, and so much more.

After completing the course, you'll be a real expert in these services!

And note:

There is no other course like this!

This is the only Azure course that takes you step-by-step through these advanced services in such a thorough and practical way. After completing it - you can definitely call yourself an expert in these services.


But that's not all...

At the end of this course, we're going to go through a full blown case study. This case study, of a fictional app named MySceneries, will use all the services we've learned about in this course, and then some, to design a modern, sophisticated and efficient cloud architecture.

By the end of the case study, you can download the complete architecture diagram and cost estimation, and use them as a template for your future projects.

------------------------------------------------------------

Who is this course for?

------------------------------------------------------------

Note: This is not a beginner course!

You're expected to have familiarity with Azure, especially with networking, app services, Function Apps, Cosmos DB and Storage accounts.

You don't have to be a full-blown expert, but note that this course builds on previous knowledge.

The explanation was simple yet useful for understanding the fundamentals of advanced Azure services.

By Vinchenzo David Adams on 6/30/2023

Really found this course helpful in integrating NotificationsHub with Xamarin Mobile Development

By Gerhardt Otto on 6/26/2023

Very practical and exactly what I was looking for. Definitely builds on "Zero to Hero" course. The added advanced cloud services rounded my learning neatly off.

By Michelle Ly on 5/23/2023

This course added to my knowledge base on cloud providers without question. Way above expectations.

By Anonymized User on 4/14/2023

API Management section is awesome. Course is full of hands-on. IOT Hub, Notification Hub and Cognitive services should have some demos with actual code.

By Jennifer Koenig on 6/2/2022

Deep-dive into Azure services IoT Hub, Notification Hub, API Manager and Cognitive Services. Not a course for beginners, but if you are intermediate, this course will take you to the next level. At the end, there is a case study that brings everything together, and each section walks you through setting up the services on your own. It would be nice if the case study was accompanied by code, ARM templates, etc. (then I would have given the course a 5)!

By Parshuram Chenna on 3/5/2022

Cognitive Services are good to start with. Fundamentals were good. Can we have more advanced use cases to be discussed Good

By Julián Ricardo Díaz Hurtado on 1/14/2022

The course is very hands-on, practical. The course content is very good as well as the instructor. I'm missing the PDF documents that were included in the "Microsoft Azure: From Zero to Hero - The Complete Guide" course for each section. They make reviewing concepts easier than replaying the videos, so I wish Memi would include these presentations in this course as well.
