Thank you Sander.
I will check out Udemy and Scott Duffy's courses!
I have bookmarked this great post of yours.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Hi Sander,
thanks for all this info.
I have some additional quick questions:
How long it took for you to prepare for the exam?
Did it help you in your professional life? (career boost, new contracts or jobs, etc.)
So far, I used many Azure services, never had any problem, but I used to learn as I needed the service, not all together.

I've been preparing, stopping, preparing again, then stopping because Microsoft was replacing all the existing exams, etc.
All in all over a years with pauses.
Of course I still have my experience.
AReady wrote: Did it help you in your professional life? (career boost, new contracts or jobs, etc.) Nope, It could have, but I started my own business and my current customers really don't ask for papers.
They just want the job done and know I can do it.
They also don't care much for technology and are fine with it being Azure, but if I told them they needed to buy a server they probably would do that too.
I currently have a customer who uses a (new) WinForms application and the database is running on a "server" that's just someone's computer.
So yeah, not much honor to be had in terms of Azure prowess
Before this I was a contractor, and those customers asked for certifications and if you had some you could easily earn a couple more €'s an hour.
Also, my employer really liked those certificates (because they could sell me better) so I would get a higher salary.

MS Learn is pretty good. Apart from that MS has youtube channels like Microsoft Azure or Microsoft Developer.
From paid ones Udemy courses by Scott Duff (mentioned by Sander Rossel) is not bad to give you advice what to look for.
I would advice to start with learning paths for AZ900 if you are new to Azure as you will not know what is what and then start exploring development like AZ203(old)/AZ204(new).
There is also big community on like groups e.g. MeetUp.com or similar where you can attend free workshops led by MS professionals for free.

My friend called me and said that he was sick of his fireplace exhaust vent.
Sounds to me like another case of the flue.

That's gotta be the second biggest mistake you've ever made.

I am afraid to say it publicy... but yes, I agree with him.
Answering his message might be one of your biggest errors

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

How time flies... I barely noticed that you were gone.
So, what are you going to do here, now that you are undead? Just be careful that you don't get your alignment changed. I used to be chaotic evil, now I'm lawful evil. The nerds have spoken.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches
Trip me as I speak

Doesn't mean it's there

Doesn't mean it's there
