Tips for Learning :

1) Create an Azure account before you start the course.

2) Always keep a notebook and a pen handy to make notes. Research indicates that traditional old school learning helps retain concepts for longer time.

3) Have an end date to finish the course. Dont let it drag forever. Its important to take this learning to next level before it evaporates.

4) Do as many labs as possible.

5) Ask questions. I love to work with my students and ensure they succeeed. Join me in the Q & A in the udemy portal.

I hope this course would be informative to you in all aspects. Lets Get Started. Happy Learning.
