Building Apps in Azure with only Scripting Skills – Global Azure Bootcamp 2019

Today (27 April 2019) is Global Azure Bootcamp day. It is the 6th year for the free event that is run in communities all over the world to teach Azure Cloud technologies. This year is my second. Last year I presented on Creating the Internet of YOUR Things and today I’m presenting Building Apps in Azure with only Scripting Skills.

In this session I gave a beginners guide to building an Azure Web App using VSCode and NodeJS. In the demo’s we only needed to visit the Azure Portal for a small Azure Function for our Web App to integrate with.

The objective of the presentation was to show IT Pro’s who have never written a Web App before how to use our modern tools (VSCode) and Azure with Serverless infrastructure to provide a streamlined process for writing a Web App, with a very small amount of Javascript and CSS and of course PowerShell.

Here is the GitHub Repo for the small Web App that I used for the demo’s. A Bastard Operator from Hell Excuse Generator (that I also used in my AutoRest post here) and the PowerPoint presentation.
