What to read after Azure For Starters?

I will give a background on why I wrote this book, while developing a new in Azure platform from scratch, we found that “Azure platform” is significantly different from other cloud service provides like AWS and “Pivotal Cloud Foundry”. We struggled day in and day out to make use of Azure services, the project slipped by 8 weeks. Even though Azure claims to have all information online, we found them not enough to develop and execute our project on time. 

I have now captured all my learning in simple snapshot and working codes. Most of the open source code does not work without modification, we struggled to configure and make our code work in azure application platform. By reading this book, developer/manager will immediately know, what all azure services needs to be procured for his/her project, how to configure and make use of each Azure services, they will also have access to working code, this will easily save 6-8 weeks of time for each project.

 This book will provide a real life account of my work in Azure platform for 6 months. In this book, firstly We will learn main services provided by “Azure platform” and develop a website to authenticate user, upload a large set of dummy invoices into “Azure Blobs” and validate PAN for each invoice using “Apache Spark” installed in “Azure Databricks” platform. We will also use “Azure Redis Cache” service for caching data. PAN will be validated using drools rules engine. The invoice content will be stored in “Azure Cosmos DB”. Secondly we will learn how to scrape content and generate RSS feeds via azure function and display it in the website. Thirdly we will learn “Azure Devops”. Here is the architecture of the system that we will build while learning “Azure Services”.
