Start developing Azure Functions and building simple solutions for serverless computing without worrying about infrastructure. With the increased need for deploying serverless computing, Azure Functions integrates with other Azure resources. This book is a quick reference and consists of a practical and problem-driven approach with the latest technology. 

Guided by step-by-step explanations and sample projects, you'll set up, build, and deploy Azure Functions to get the most out of this compute-on-demand service. After a foundational introduction to Azure Functions you'll prepare a development environment to serve and process an IoT Telemetry system, create Microservices, and monitor Azure Functions services to get application insights.
