Summary

Catching up on announcements …
About 3 months ago, Pluralsight released my Developing with Node.js on Microsoft Azure course.  Recorded on macOS and taking the perspective of a Node developer, this course shows how to use Azure App Services to host a NodeJS application, as well as how to manage, monitor, debug, and scale the application. I also show how to use Cosmos DB, which is the NoSQL DB formerly known as Document DB, by taking advantage of the Mongo DB APIs.
Other topics include how to use Azure SQL, CLI tools, blob storage, and some cognitive services are thrown into the mix, too. An entire module is dedicated to serverless computing with Azure functions (implemented in JavaScript, of course).
In the finale of the course I show you how to setup a continuous delivery pipeline using Visual Studio Team Services to build, package, and deploy a Node app into Azure.
I hope you enjoy the course.
