#60Days Of Intelligent Apps​

#60Days of IA is a series of blog posts grouped into themed weeks - taking you from core concepts to end-to-end solution examples in 60 days. Each blog will provide conceptual lessons paired with exercises and resources to help you reinforce learnings and take next steps.

This series takes you through learning journey in eight stages, each building on the previous week to help you skill up in a beginner-friendly way:

• Week 1: Power of Intelligent Applications
• Week 2: Azure Kubernetes Service is the platform of choice for intelligent apps
• Week 3: Azure Cosmos DB is the database of choice for intelligent apps
• Week 4: Azure AI is your choice for Responsible AI
• Week 5: Building an intelligent serverless event driven functions app
• Week 6: Build intelligent microservices with serverless containers
• Week 7: Platform engineering needs for your intelligent apps
• Week 8: Managing cost for your intelligent apps

We will start with defining intelligent apps and then expand on how to build with cloud-native technologies like Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Container Apps and Azure Functions, as well as integrate AI and cloud-scale data. You will learn how to build end-to-end scenarios for real world application development based on reference architectures. Before we dive deep on intelligent apps, here is a high-level overview of the Intelligent Apps landscape on Azure for you to leverage the most comprehensive, trusted cloud to prime the customer and employee experiences.

Bring your applications to a modern application platform in the cloud, which leverages a cloud data platform at scale and agile development methods with DevOps is the best way to prime the customer and employee experiences. Azure offers the latest apps, data, AI and is the most comprehensive, trusted cloud.

Containers on Azure services offer you a wide range of capabilities, from simplicity to control to suit your different needs.
