Course Overview
Hi, I'm John Papa, and welcome to this Play by Play on building a serverless node web API with Azure's serverless functions. So in this Play by Play, myself and --- Simona Cotin. --- We're going to build this app and take you through building out a serverless function and show you all our favorite features. And what we're going to do is start out with an existing app that uses a web API Node Express, and we're going to have a drop-in replacement that we use to create through serverless functions with Azure that'll pop right into place. That's right, and we're also going to show you how to develop it locally, and debug it, and finally deploy it using GitHub. That's awesome, and we hope that you really enjoy this opportunity to learn how to build a serverless function API with Azure. Thanks.
