Scott Duffy
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.

Decent course that helps lay the foundation for the SC-900, though it shouldn't be your only study resource. To fully grasp everything, you really need to pair this with the free Microsoft Learn modules to dive deeper into certain areas. As a heads-up for those taking the exam (which I just passed!), the real test has shorter questions and a lot of True/False questions compared to practice tests. Use this course as your baseline, but broaden your study material.

The SC-900 training was very informative and well-structured. It provided a clear understanding of security, compliance, and identity concepts in Microsoft environments. The content was easy to follow, and the real-world examples helped in better understanding the core concepts. Overall, it was a valuable learning experience

I've finished this great course two days ago, completed trial exam included and got 800 points. Today, I've earned my certification on real exam by getting 822 points. Thank you for the course.
By Ryan Lewis on 4/19/2026
So far, everything is being introduced very well. I find that the material is similar to the AZ900 course.
By Noah Waller on 3/16/2026
He has really good info, but its hard to stay focused. I wish he was more engaging. I know this stuff is really boring at times but I've had teachers that can still keep me focused
By Jael Sande on 3/15/2026
Thank you so much for your experience and expertise. I enjoyed your lectures very much, straight forward, easy to grasp, and just enough added depth where might be required. Great handouts to
By J Hanson on 3/3/2026
I feel like the material covered was not detailed enough. Especially when going through the provided practice test. The test and explanations have more details than the course. Glad the practice test is only that, a practice, otherwise I'd be failing...
By Eric F. Haywood, Sr. on 3/3/2026
I highly recommend this course. The material was presented in a clear, well-structured, and comprehensive manner, which made complex concepts easy to understand. It significantly strengthened my knowledge and left me feeling fully prepared and confident to take the exam.
By Lorenzo Melilli on 12/27/2025
I took my exam and successfully passed it thanks to this course. I’m being completely honest: I really liked the way Scott explained everything. It was very clear and straight to the point, without unnecessary over-explaining. The only downside of the course is the video format. Like many courses on Udemy, some videos rely on reading slides or displaying slides with a lot of text, which isn’t very effective. Investing a bit more in animated videos, where examples and abstract concepts are visually represented, would have made the course even more engaging. In today’s world, attention spans are very short, and we all have to adapt to that. If you ever decide to improve this aspect, I believe the course would gain even more attention. Overall, great work. Thank you, and I wish you all the best!
By Asong Folefac on 11/18/2025
The course material is explained quite succinctly. I must say the instructor has proven to have a deep knowledge on the content and his presentation is undeniably excellent.
