Resources

The following are the popular resources found for supporting certification. Here I focus on developers and architects.

Azure Fundamentals (Free):

This is an optional course recommended for beginners.

For Developer:

1. Udemy:

Good rated course, very structured and hence could be a good one to start with. (Paid course, very affordable)

Practice Exams (Paid course, very affordable):

The other resources below are great but are not very structured for the exam, but will serve as a great learning resource.

2. Official MS Resources:

This gives a good overview of the Azure exams currently with resource links.

The following is a collection of resources for learning Microsoft Products, but you can select the Product and Levels on the left menu. I have selected for example, Azure Developer content.

3. Pluralsight learning path (Paid Courses):

4. Azure training Videos — You tube:

Here is some contents from you tube, that could help.
