Before you start
You should already be able to write code in at least one programming language. A basic grasp of Azure, like the content of the AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals course, will help you follow the lessons. Some knowledge of web apps, APIs and databases will also help. You will need access to an Azure account if you want to try the demos yourself. The course moves from compute to storage, security, monitoring and messaging, so it is best taken in order.
About the AZ-203 exam
The AZ-203 exam, Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure, was issued by Microsoft. Passing it earned the Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate certification. Microsoft retired AZ-203 on 31 May 2020 and replaced it with AZ-204. Most of the skills taught here, such as compute, storage, security, monitoring and messaging, still sit at the heart of Azure development. If you plan to sit the current Azure developer exam, use this course to build your base, then check Microsoft Learn for the latest skills list.
