In this chapter, we learned about the basics of cloud computing, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. We learned how to create a free Azure account and how to configure Visual Studio 2019 for Azure development. Then, we discussed creating and managing Azure websites from the portal, as well as from Visual Studio. We also discussed how to update an existing website from Visual Studio.

Later, we discussed Azure Mobile App Service and created a mobile app service, configured an Azure database, and integrated the service into a Windows application. Finally, we learned about the service API calls and scaled the App Service plan using the various pricing tiers.

In the next chapter, we are going to learn about web application development using .NET Core, and we'll start building applications targeting this new .NET framework.
