Microsoft Reactor

Each week Renee takes a look at a different new technology on the Microsoft stack, with a fun and friendly theme. Over the weeks explore Power Apps, Azure Functions, and Azure Cognitive Services.

This series is designed with students, beginners, and all learners in mind! Come along to learn with Renee, as she shows you how she went about creating her first ever project in these technologies, and how you can do it too!

In this learn-with-me episode, Renee takes a look at Azure Functions to create serverless computing solutions for taking care of your fishy friends.

We'll discuss what makes serverless solutions right for you, and then learn how to create, execute, monitor, and test Azure functions in the Azure portal. We'll build an Azure Function endpoint that kicks into gear whenever it receives requests from our (imaginary) aquariums, to calculate what needs to be done to keep maintain our aquatic environments.

This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to give Azure Functions and Serverless computing a go for the first time, as well as any budding Microsoft Student Ambassadors looking for resources to teach their peers about Power Apps.
