In order to complete the the lessons you need to install the following:
Prerequisite | Lessons | Description |
---|---|---|
.NET 6 | All | The .NET runtime and SDK. |
VSCode | All | A great cross platform code editor. |
VSCode AzureFunctions extension | All | Extension for VSCode to easily develop and manage Azure Functions. |
Azure Functions Core Tools v4 | All | Azure Functions runtime and CLI for local development. |
RESTClient for VSCode or Postman | All | An extension or application to make HTTP requests. |
Azure Storage Explorer | Blob, Queue, Table | Application to manage Azure Storage resources (both in the cloud and local emulated). |
Azurite | Blob, Queue, Table | Cross platform Emulator for using Azure Storage services if you want to develop locally without connecting to a Storage Account in the cloud. Instead of an emulator you can also use a real Azure Storage Account in the cloud. |
Azure CLI | Deployment, Configuration | Command line interface used to manage Azure resources. Can be run on your local dev environment, in a deployment pipeline or in the Azure Cloud Shell. |
We strongly suggest you create a new folder (local git repository) for each lesson and use this Azure Functions University repository for reference only (for when you're stuck).
-
Create a new folder to work in:
C:\dev\mkdir azfuncuni C:\dev\cd .\azfuncuni\
-
Turn this into a git repository:
C:\dev\azfuncuni\git init
-
Add subfolders for the source code and test files:
C:\dev\azfuncuni\mkdir src C:\dev\azfuncuni\mkdir tst
You should be good to go now!
