## What it is
Official Microsoft Learning course materials and hands-on labs for the AZ-204 Azure Developer certification, covering App Service, Functions, storage, Cosmos DB, security, and monitoring. The repository has been archived and superseded by a new labs repository as of August 2025.

## Use cases
- prepare for the AZ-204 Azure Developer Associate certification exam
- find hands-on labs for developing solutions on Microsoft Azure
- learn Azure Functions, App Service, and Cosmos DB through guided exercises
- practice Azure authentication and authorization with MSAL and .NET
- get lab exercises for Azure event-based and message-based solutions

## When to choose
- you want the original AZ-204 course labs for reference or self-study
- you need structured, instructor-aligned Azure developer training materials

## When to avoid
- you want actively maintained labs - use the successor repository at aka.ms/azure-developer-repo instead
- you need current Azure SDK examples reflecting the latest service changes
