Master Azure: Build Microsoft Azure Solution with C#

# Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform launched by Microsoft in 2008. It supports a wide range of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services.
On this [page](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/), you can find hundreds of the cloud computing services that Microsoft Azure supports. Here are a few of them from each category:
- **Azure App Service:** It’s a compute service that enables developers to quickly build powerful web and mobile applications.
- **Azure Application Gateway:** It’s a networking service that enables the building of secure, scalable, and highly available web fronts in Azure.
- **Azure Blob Storage:** It’s a storage service that allows storing massive amounts of data.

Microsoft Azure services develop and grow, change, and retire rapidly, so you must follow the latest updates from the Microsoft official blog.



# Microsoft Azure for C# developers

The importance of the chosen programming language when working with any cloud computing platform comes in two places or when developing and deploying the application. As we develop applications that we want to use Microsoft Azure services (or any cloud computing platform), we must integrate specific SDKs to use the particular Azure service. For example, if we are building an application that uploads a file to Azure Storage service, we must reference some Microsoft packages that allow us to work with that service. Moreover, when deploying our applications to a specific hosting service in our chosen cloud platform (e.g., App services in Microsoft Azure), we must ensure that the service supports the programming language we develop our application.

In practice, Microsoft Azure supports several programming languages such as C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, Go, etc. Therefore, C# does not hold any special position in Microsoft Azure. However, C# is generally the first choice when developing and deploying solutions in Microsoft Azure as it is well-supported in most Azure services and offers deeper integration with them. Moreover, the solid tooling support for Microsoft Azure in Visual Studio makes the development experience with C# faster and more productive.
