Microsoft Azure Superpowers: 1-day Workshop

This one-day workshop brings developers up-to-speed on the new features and benefits of using Microsoft Azure to build awesome cloud-based applications.

At SSW we have already gone through the hard work of implementing these new and exciting technologies in our projects for everything from small start-ups to enterprises and government agencies. View our Azure consulting page.

Come watch our best Azure devs build an Azure application from scratch and take it all the way to an enterprise application using all the best tools and practices we use.

Don't waste weeks learning Azure, the Angular CLI, RxJS, TypeScript, ngrx, NPM, WebPack, end to end testing and unit testing. Get your head around all the core concepts and get jump started in just one day.

Agenda

1. App Services In this part we give you an overview of the services you need to build and host Enterprise Web Applications on Azure. You will learn about:

• App Service Plans
• Web Apps (also known as App Services)
• Mobile Apps
• API Apps
• Function Apps

2. Azure DevOps Projects Using Azure DevOps Projects, we will show you how to easily build, test and deploy an application on any Azure service in a few simple steps. You will learn about:

• Source Repositories
• Automated Cloud-powered CI/CD pipelines
• Application Insights integration
• Product Backlog

3. Data Azure has many different types of Storage services. We will show you how you can serve your data from Azure to be globally accessible and able to perform under high read & write loads. You will learn about:

• Azure Storage (Blob, File, Table, Queue)
• Azure SQL Server
• Azure CosmosDB

4. Azure AD B2C Using Azure Active Directory B2C (Business to Consumer) you can connect customers from around the globe to your application. We will show you how to securely connect your customers to your application using industry standard protocols to make identity management easy. You will learn about:

• Azure AD B2C
• Branded Sign-up and Sign-in Experiences
• Connect via Social Networks
• Enable Multifactor Authentication

5. API Management With Azure API Management you can take any backend system, hosted anywhere, and expose it through a modern API gateway. You will learn about:

• Azure API Management
• Publish your existing APIs for consumers
• Debug your API
• Monitor traffic through the API
• Protect your back-end services

6. Logic Apps Azure Logic Apps are used to automate business processes, complete tasks and orchestrate workflows. They are especially powerful when you are integrating with other applications, data sources and services. You will learn about:
