Generative AI for Developers: Before You Start This Section0:42
To keep this course aligned with today's technology, we've added this AI-focused section. These lessons show how Generative AI can enhance your productivity while reinforcing the importance of strong technical fundamentals. After completing this section, continue with the remaining course content to apply these concepts in practice.
Generative AI for Developers: What AI Can Already Build4:56
See generative AI write a real PowerShell script, a Python script, a GitHub Actions workflow, a Kubernetes manifest, and a Terraform config — live, on screen. Whether you're learning to code, script, or build cloud infrastructure with AI coding assistants like ChatGPT and Copilot, this lecture sets the baseline: here's exactly what AI can already do for you, so the rest of the course can show you what it still can't.
Why Your Automation Skills Still Matter With AI Coding Tools11:49
AI can write a script in seconds — so why keep learning to write one yourself? This lecture answers that honestly, with two live, real examples in PowerShell and Python where AI-generated code looks perfect and quietly isn't. Essential for anyone using an AI coding assistant for scripting, automation, or infrastructure work who wants to close the judgment gap AI can't close for you.
AI can write a script in seconds - so why keep learning to write one yourself?4:45
A real near-miss story, reproduced live: an AI-generated script almost leaks a live API key straight to a public GitHub repo — and how an automated guardrail catches it in seconds. A must-watch for anyone using generative AI for coding, DevOps, or cloud automation who wants to build securely, not just quickly.
AI Habits Every Developer Should Adopt Today5:39
Beyond writing code — five real, practical ways to use generative AI every day: fast upskilling on new tools, automated documentation, smarter troubleshooting with real context, and a head start on architecture diagrams. Straight from a working Generative AI Architect's own daily toolkit, not theory — the habits that actually save time on real scripting, DevOps, and cloud engineering work.

Deploying Function App in Azure Portal5:20
Deploy a function app in the Azure portal by selecting subscription and resource group, a globally unique name, Python on Linux, and hosting plan with storage and application insights.
Creating First function in Azure Portal10:44
Create your first Azure function in the portal, learn to trigger with predefined templates, configure authorization, and monitor the function app with logs.

Azure Function to take input from http and write blobs10:06
HTTP-triggered Azure function that uses an output blob binding to write incoming text to a blob in a storage container, showcasing declarative bindings and automation.
Azure Function to process blob storage8:47
Azure Function to add message into storage queue7:27
Azure Function to add message to service bus topic10:19
Learn to build an Azure function triggered by a storage queue, process messages, and publish them to an Azure Service Bus topic with bindings and a subscription.

Requirements

PC/Laptop installed with Windows OS
Some basic understanding of command line (Win CMD/Unix Shell) will help quickly picking up
Visual Studio Code in installed in laptop
You should be able to use PC/laptop comfortably.

Description

Serverless is how modern cloud apps get built - you write the code, and Azure handles the servers, scaling, and you pay only for what runs. This hands-on course teaches you Azure Functions and serverless computing from scratch by building real, event-driven applications - and you can complete it in a weekend.

Built for developers, cloud engineers, and Azure enthusiasts, this course is project-rich, not theory-heavy. You'll build real Azure Functions (Python-based) that expose APIs, talk to a database, react to messages, process storage, and even send email - the exact patterns behind production serverless systems. It also maps closely to the Azure Functions topics of the AZ-204 Azure Developer Associate exam.

Serverless and event-driven skills are in high demand for 2026 - this course helps you land better projects and stand out for better-paying roles.

You get 31 lectures across 10 sections, a downloadable course book, and full source code - all backed by 1-on-1 instructor support, LIFETIME access, and a 100% money-back guarantee.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - KEY TOPICS COVERED:

- Serverless computing and event-driven architecture fundamentals

- What Azure Functions are, and creating your first function in the Azure portal

- Setting up a local development environment and developing functions in VS Code

- Understanding the Function App file structure

- Building Azure Function APIs backed by a serverless Azure SQL Database

- Functions to collect feedback, store data, and run scheduled database cleanup

- Azure Service Bus - introduction and deployment

- Function integrations - HTTP triggers, blob processing, storage queues, and Service Bus topics

- Shared/imported code, binding expressions, and function monitoring

- Capstone project: a Transaction Processing System - HTTP-to-queue, Service Bus triggers, database writes, and email

By the end you'll be building and deploying your own serverless applications with confidence. Azure Functions is an in-demand, career-boosting cloud skill - and this course is the one-stop solution to gaining it. Enroll now and go serverless.
