#30DaysOfServerless
#30DaysOfServerless is a month-long series of daily blog posts grouped into 4 themed weeks - taking you from core concepts to end-to-end solution examples in 30 days. Each article will be short (5-8 mins reading time) and provide exercises and resources to help you reinforce learnings and take next steps.
This series focuses on the Serverless On Azure learning journey in four stages, each building on the previous week to help you skill up in a beginner-friendly way:

We have a tentative roadmap for the topics we hope to cover and will keep this updated as we go with links to actual articles as they get published.
