I recently completed the "Azure SQL for Beginners" course by Microsoft on YouTube, and I found it to be an excellent introduction to Azure SQL. As someone who's still getting familiar with cloud-based databases, I appreciated the way the course was structured to cater to beginners.
The course covers the basics of Azure SQL, starting with an introduction to what Azure SQL is and how it fits into the larger Azure ecosystem. It then moves on to setting up an Azure SQL Database, managing it, and understanding the different pricing tiers. The step-by-step instructions made it easy to follow along, even for someone without much prior experience in SQL or Azure.
The instructors did a great job of explaining concepts in a clear and concise manner. They used practical examples that made the theoretical concepts easier to grasp. The video quality and production were also top-notch, with a good mix of screen-sharing demonstrations and slides.
One of the things I really liked about this course was the hands-on approach. There were several opportunities to practice what was being taught, which helped reinforce the material. The instructors also provided tips on best practices and common pitfalls, which I found extremely helpful.

The course kicks off with a basic introduction to Azure SQL, including an overview of the Azure platform. It then dives into setting up an Azure SQL Database, exploring its features, and understanding pricing models. Each section is carefully laid out, with clear explanations that make complex topics more digestible.
The instructors were engaging and did a fantastic job breaking down the material. They used simple language and avoided unnecessary jargon, which made the learning process much easier. I appreciated how they balanced between theory and practical demonstrations, allowing me to see how things work in real-time.
What I liked most was the hands-on nature of the course. The practical exercises were incredibly useful, giving me the chance to apply what I’d just learned. By the end of the course, I felt confident in my ability to set up and manage an Azure SQL Database on my own.
The course was very beginner-friendly, which made it perfect for someone at my level.
The instructors were great at making difficult concepts easy to understand.
The emphasis on real-world applications helped me see the value of what I was learning.

The "Azure SQL for Beginners" course provides a solid introduction to Azure SQL, catering well to those new to the platform. With clear explanations and hands-on exercises, it covers key concepts like database creation, querying, and basic administration. The course structure is well-paced, making it accessible for beginners without overwhelming them. The instructor's delivery is concise, ensuring a focused learning experience. However, a deeper dive into advanced topics might be beneficial for those seeking more comprehensive knowledge. Overall, it's a commendable starting point for Azure SQL novices, offering practical insights into cloud-based database management.
