Key benefits

  • Written by two Microsoft technical trainers to help you explore the exam topics in a structured way
  • Understand the “why”, and not just “how” behind design and solution decisions
  • Follow along examples with downloadable code samples to help cement each topic’s learning objective

Description

With the prevalence of cloud technologies and DevOps ways of working, the industry demands developers who can build cloud solutions and monitor them throughout their life cycle. Becoming a Microsoft-certified Azure developer can differentiate developers from the competition, but with such a plethora of information available, it can be difficult to structure learning in an effective way to obtain certification. Through easy-to-understand explanations and exercises, this book will provide a more palatable learning experience than what you may expect from an exam preparation book. You’ll start off with a recap of some important cloud concepts, such as IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. From there, you’ll learn about each relevant solution area, with use cases. The chapters also cover different implementation methodologies, both manual and programmatic – ranging from compute resources such as App Service and serverless applications to storage, database, security, monitoring solutions, and connecting to third-party services. By the end of this book, you'll have learned everything you need to pass the AZ-204 certification exam and have a handy, on-the-job reference guide.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Azure developers looking to improve their Azure development knowledge to pass the AZ-204 exam. This book assumes at least one year of professional development experience with Azure, with the ability to program in at least one language supported by Azure. Existing Azure CLI and PowerShell skills will also be useful.

What you will learn

  • Develop Azure compute solutions
  • Discover tips and tricks from Azure experts for interactive learning
  • Use Cosmos DB storage and blob storage for developing solutions
  • Develop secure cloud solutions for Azure
  • Use optimization, monitoring, and troubleshooting for Azure solutions
  • Develop Azure solutions connected to third-party services

I recently read "Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure AZ-204 Exam Guide" and was thoroughly impressed by the level of detail and organization of the material. The book does an excellent job of covering all of the essential topics that are required for success when developing and maintaining cloud-based solutions on Azure.One of the things I appreciated most about this book is the clear and concise writing style. The authors clearly have a deep understanding of the Azure platform and have done an excellent job of breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable sections. The accompanying practice questions and exercises were also very helpful in reinforcing the material. Another aspect of this book that I really appreciated was the focus on practical skills. The authors not only provide a thorough overview of the concepts covered on the exam, but they also offer tips and best practices for developing and maintaining cloud-based solutions on Azure in the real world.Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone preparing for the AZ-204 exam or looking to gain a better understanding of how to develop solutions on Azure. It is a valuable resource that will undoubtedly help anyone looking to succeed in this field.

It's been a while that I had passed my Azure developer certification exam. Hence, I was curious to find out what new topics had been introduced as well as refresh my knowledge on few of the areas where I haven't had a chance to work upon recently.Sharing the key callouts from my reading of this book:Chapter 04 - Implementing Azure Functions - This is a very important chapter to understand the different ways, how Azure Functions can be utilized to implement a use case. The book covers the topic of Stateful Durable functions with good degree of details.Chapter 07 - Understanding the Microsoft Identity Platform - In my experience, I had observed that the topic of implementing identity and OAUTH is not very well understood by the developer fraternity. In this chapter, the author has covered all the supported OAuth flows by Azure AAD, and the experience of end users when a specific type of authorization flow had been implemented for the solution.Chapter 10 - Troubleshooting Solutions by using metrics and Log data - Another very useful chapter to understand the importance of using the available Logging and Monitoring toolset of Azure to maintain a healthy service. The screenshots and diagrams shared will give the readers good grasp of the toolset capabilities.In the chapters, Chapter 11 (API Management), Chapter 12 (Developing Event Based Solutions) & Chapter 13 (Developing Message Based solutions) the author has covered the most common implementation patterns around building modern applications. The developers can easily extend and use these patterns while building their own solutions.Overall, I found the book to be a very useful preparation guide for the AZ 204 exam.With lot of examples and self-review questions, the readers can readily test their understanding of the concepts presented in the different chapters.

Whether you're studying for the AZ-204 exam, just starting out with Azure, or even building on your existing skills, this is a great book to have to hand. It covers most of the common Azure PaaS services that you're likely to need to know, as well as going into detail on important subjects such as identity that so many other books skim over. I was given this book as a review copy, as I worked with Paul as he was putting it together and know how much hard work and attention to detail went into this by both him and Alex Ivanov. I would highly recommend adding it to your collection if you're developing on Azure at any level.
