Sign in to vote

Hi,

I have work experience in SQL Server BI ,Development , basic DBA skills. Would like to know where can I start with learning Azure and adding as skill set.

How much C# experience do I need to learn Azure ?.Every time when I open a book on Azure I come across a topic that I feel should be learned in later stage.

Looking at my experience from where can I start , so that I can go step by step without coming across an off topic in between and loosing track. which books or online resource can I read without missing key concepts. How much Big Data experience do I need or knowing Basics of Big Data would be enough ?.

Thank you

As you've probably discovered, Azure is an enormous topic and there are a ton of resources available. My current favorite training curriculum is the Microsoft Professional Program tracks, which consist of 10 courses. There are two different tracks, one for Data Science and one for Big Data. I went through the 10 courses for Data Science last year and wrote up my notes/experience here:

For additional information on the tracks, here are the links:
