MICROSOFT 55093: Windows Azure Data Services (501560)

This course is intended for IT Professional (IT Pros), Developers and Architects.

IT Professional (IT Pros) who also create software applications, build or write computer code or develop Web sites or complex macros as a secondary responsibility and Developers who create software applications, develop web sites, create complex macros.
