Global Azure is a day when community groups around the world run Azure events at the same time. This was the second event I ran myself, and the biggest: Teams counted 169 attendees.
Starting from “deploy your online résumé”
I submitted the talk to Global Azure 2022’s official call, and it was accepted on May 2. The original title was “Deploy your online résumé with Azure Static Web Apps”, later broadened to “Web development and Azure”. My mentor was MVP Arafat.
What I covered
Web development basics. What front end, back end, web frameworks and APIs are, and the five steps from idea to launch:
Cloud computing on Azure. What the cloud is, and how students can use Azure for free.
Azure Static Web Apps. The scenario: “you’ve built a website and want to publish it and show your friends.” It serves static pages close to users, connects to GitHub so every push deploys automatically, and includes a free SSL certificate.
For the closing quiz I slipped in a joke answer:
How it went
For the live demo I used a six-minute video I’d recorded in advance. Afterwards I wrote to Arafat:
I have successfully hosted my Global Azure Session–Web Development & Azure Static Web Apps. I tried to use recorded video for demo, awesome!
Then I sent attendees the recording, e-certificates and small gifts.
