How about learning Azure for free? There\u2019s so much to learn if you\u2019re starting out with Azure. There are tons of options out there, but today I\u2019d like to highlight 4 great <\/span><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">free<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"> places that we typically go to ourselves and recommend to our customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Docs.microsoft.com<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 This on-line repository is Microsoft\u2019s documentation library. Here you\u2019ll find architecture, diagrams and patterns, as well as tutorials, communities and forums. Everything you could want or need in a very well-organized platform. It\u2019s the #1 place we go to and it\u2019s absolutely free.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0 Microsoft\u2019s Conferences<\/strong> \u2013 Sure, the conferences themselves are not free. These are very popular, sell-out events filled with lots of great info and speakers. They also can be expensive. But here\u2019s the free part; right after those events, most, if not all, of that great content becomes available on<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/microsoft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">their YouTube channel<\/a><\/strong>. Just go to YouTube and search for things like Microsoft Ignite or Microsoft Build or Connect and take advantage of access to all the content from their flagship events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mva.microsoft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft Virtual Academy<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019re more into an instructor-led, slower paced, methodical approach to learning about Azure, this great free resource offers more structured training classes. They are always publishing new content there and you can subscribe for updates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0 Last but not least, <\/strong>our free webinars that are hosted every Tuesday at 11:00 am EST cover a huge amount of Azure content. And all of our previous videos are available online for free, so you can view any of our Azure webinars. Plus, follow our Azure Every Day series, where we cover Azure topic every week.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DML1prpSJ0E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThese are just a few ways you can learn Azure for free.
