Azure Logic Apps: Fundamentals

Course Overview
Hi everyone. My name is Stephen W. Thomas and welcome to my course, Azure Logic Apps: Fundamentals. I am an independent consultant specializing in Microsoft integration and Azure. This includes logic apps. In this course we are going to walk through 11 core features that comprise logic apps. Some of the major topics that we will cover include working with advanced flow control, batching and de-batching of messages, creating custom connectors, creating event-based logic apps using Azure Event Grid, and handling exceptions inside of logic apps. By the end of this course you will know the core fundamentals of designing and building an enterprise-grade logic app. Before beginning this course you should be familiar with the basics of working with logic apps. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn Azure logic apps with the Azure Logic Apps: Fundamentals course at Pluralsight.
