Microsoft Azure for .NET Developers (Udemy.com)

Microsoft Azure | ASP.NET Core | App Service | Cosmos DB | Azure SQL | Service Bus | Azure AD | Azure Functions | Blob

Created by: Trevoir Williams

Last updated March 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 2,567 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in March 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Trevoir Williams' Azure course is a 12.8 hour tour of the services a .NET developer tends to meet: App Service, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, storage accounts, Service Bus, Functions, containers, VMs and Azure AD. It runs to 134 lectures over 15 sections, and the description says it lines up with AZ-204 topics without being an official exam guide. It assumes some ASP.NET Core, since the demos tweak an existing app rather than teaching the framework. The pitch is to be functional with Azure, not to go deep on any one service.

Reviewers like the clear explanations and the practical bent. One student who had only found exam-cram Azure courses before says this one mixes theory with practice. Another calls it a good start that touches the main topics without going very deep. The complaints are consistent. Some say the demo apps are hello world level and that setting them up eats time. A 2026 reviewer says many portal screens have changed. Another says it shows how to configure things but not why. A Spanish-language reviewer says the regions used in class can be free for the instructor but not for students.

Of 2,567 ratings, 1,322 are five stars and 941 are four, so most people leave satisfied. The course was last updated in March 2026, which helps, though the portal complaint suggests some lessons lag. There are no quizzes or coding exercises, so practice is whatever you build alongside. It fits a .NET developer who needs a working map of Azure. Experienced cloud engineers should look for something deeper.

Best forASP.NET Core developers who need a practical first map of Azure services, not exam cramming.
Skip it ifYou already run Azure workloads and want real-world design depth or up-to-the-minute portal walkthroughs.

Pros

  • Clear explanations that mix theory with hands-on demos, unlike exam-cram Azure courses
  • Covers App Service, SQL, Cosmos DB, Service Bus, Functions and Azure AD in 134 lectures
  • Refreshed in March 2026 and lines up with many AZ-204 topics
  • Large audience: about 22,000 students and a 4.3 rating across 2,567 reviews

Cons

  • Demo apps are described as hello world level, so depth is limited
  • Some portal screens have changed, and a few lessons can feel dated
  • Explains how to configure services more than why, and has no quizzes or exercises
This course is different. It's a great combination of theory and practice, which increases your understanding of each topic. Highly recommended!
Andrés Ramos, a student

Suits developers with some ASP.NET Core, which the course lists as a requirement; it does not teach the framework itself.

Course Description

Microsoft Azure is the premiere cloud platform from Microsoft. It is an excellent space for hosting .NET applications and the modern .NET developer must be comfortable navigating the different services and features and using the cloud hosting platform to produce top-notch enterprise applications.

In this course, you will get familiar with Microsoft Azure, it's interface, and various services. You will provision and then use Microsoft Azure resources and services and have an appreciation for how everything connects and can contribute to your stable and modern application being developed.

Along the way, you will learn how to:

  • Navigate and customize Azure Portal

  • Lean to use Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell

  • Provision Virtual Machines on Azure

  • Provision and use Azure App Services

    • Monitor web applications for performance and potential errors using Application Insights

    • Scale applications and databases based on load

    • Setup Deployment Slots

    • Setup continuous deployment with GitHub Actions and Azure Web App Services

    • How to manage application secrets in .NET Applications

  • Use Azure SQL and understand the different hosting models

  • Use Azure Blob Storage

  • Use Azure Cosmos DB

  • Use Azure Service Bus and Queues

  • Build and Deploy Azure Functions

  • Integrate Advanced .NET Application Security with Azure AD and Azure AD B2C

By the end of this course, you should have a fundamental understanding of what Microsoft Azure is and hits many services, and third-party tools can best serve your context.

This course aligns with training required for the Exam AZ-204: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure examination, though it is not an official training guide. It is perfect for you if you need to know enough about developing with Azure to be functional in your workspace, without taking the exam.

Having a foundation in ASP.NET Core development will come as a plus, because we will be focusing less on the fundamentals and only be making modifications to an existing application as needed to complete the tasks in this course. If you are unfamiliar with ASP.NET Core, you may visit the course Complete ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Development, which will give you a very beginner friendly start to the ASP.NET Core ecosystem and allow you to get up to speed quickly.

Along the way, we also author some original and unique applications to demonstrate how integrations work between our code and Microsoft Azure APIs.

Creo que el curso es muy bueno, haciendo enseñanzas prácticas de las herramientas de Azure; el único detalle es que algunas veces las regiones que vienen en clase para crear instancias son gratuitas para el profesor, pero no para el alumno; hay que andar haciendo pruebas hasta encontrar una instancia gratuita.

By Balazs Nemeth on 5/20/2026

Great start for getting familiar with and starting work with Azure. The course touches all of the most important topic, however doesn't go too deep. But it's goal is to make the Azure AZ-204 certificate possible, so maybe it's not the scope of this type of course.

By Andrés Ramos on 3/12/2026

I have taken other Azure courses in the past, but they were all very theory-focused to help you pass the certification exam. This course is different. It's a great combination of theory and practice, which increases your understanding of each topic. Highly recommended!

By Anonymized User on 1/4/2026

explain very well, but expected some more details like how to configure continuous delivery along with continuous deployment , and few points are not covered like event hub, grid

By Jan M on 9/17/2025

A lot of the topics in the course are outdated, with info that’s no longer relevant. The demo apps are basically just “hello world” level. From an MS MVP I’d expect higher quality content. I’ve noticed this seems to be a trend on Udemy — when “developers” don’t feel like coding anymore, they try making tutorials instead.

By Paulo Nobrega Rodrigues on 8/23/2025

Really good and practical course, now, a lot of information and the UI can be outdated. Expected though, since the course is from 2024, but the Azure Directory part, in specific needs a complete overhaul as it has been mostly replaced by other services, with you not even being able to create an Azure AD B2C anymore (you can still create a tenant though)

By Krishna C on 2/8/2025

This course provide all necessary details that .Net developer needed to start journey into Microsoft Azure development. Containt of course are pretty much big and covers all section of Azure for .Net developer needed. Videos are understandable and provide in detail code for basic start.

By Guilherme Marques dos Santos on 1/4/2024

The course is really good, of course I don not know by heart how to create all this resources, but I know them all now, if I need this resources some day I just come back to the lessons and apply in the real world, It's really friendly but I advice you to know .NET by heart so it will not take your attention and you can focus just on the Azure teachings. I recommend it a lot.

By Game Dev on 8/5/2023

The course was awesome. I had some prior knowledge about some of the presented Azure services, but the course was good for consolidating what I already knew and for gaining new knowledge. As a future addition to the course, maybe we could have Azure Key Vault. Nonetheless, the course was great, the materials and the examples were very helpful, and the instructor had a very nice attitude, made everything easier to follow.

By Martin Okello on 4/16/2022

Brilliant explanations especially in those key areas related to Azure Development like Blob Storage,CosmosDB integration, amongst others like MongoDB relations. The code is absolutely enlightening to a developer coming from no knowledge of Azure, to grasping how content connections are devised and used to access, create, and manage Azure SQL, CosmosDB which applies relatively well to other resources.
