Roadmap – Contains a general content outline.
Instructions – Contains the step-by-step guided learning materials, with resources for each milestone in the roadmap.
Learn Cloud roadmap
Learn Cloud walks you through 5 key milestones, and we’ll briefly look at each:
[0] Introduction
Cloud computing is a powerful and flexible way to access computing resources over the internet. It allows you to scale up or down your applications, store and process large amounts of data, and use various services and tools without having to manage the infrastructure yourself. In this part of the roadmap, you will learn the basics of cloud computing and how it can benefit you as a developer or a learner. This is a short and easy introduction that will prepare you for the next steps.
[1] Setup Azure Account
Now that you know what cloud computing is and why it matters, you are ready to take the next step: creating your own Azure account. This will give you access to a world of cloud services and resources that you can use to build, deploy, and manage your applications. You can create a free Azure account and you will get $ 200 Azure credits to explore and experiment with Azure for 30 days, at no cost to you.
Note: If you are a student, you can get even more benefits from Azure. You can sign up for a free Azure for Students subscription, which gives you $100 Azure credits every year while you are a student, as well as access to over 25 free Azure services.
After you create your Azure account, you will learn some key cloud concepts that will help you understand how Azure works and what it can do for you.
Set up an Azure account
[2] What is Azure PaaS
In this section, you will learn how to deploy your web app, explore the different Platform as a Service (PaaS) options that Azure offers and learn how to choose the best one for your app. You will also discover the difference between static and dynamic web apps and how they affect your deployment strategy.
Introduction to Azure PaaS
But that’s not all. You will also see how you can enhance your web app with other Azure resources that add more functionality and features to your app. By the end of this milestone, you will have a clear understanding of the deployment services and resources that Azure provides and how to use them effectively.
More Azure services
[3] Deploy to Azure
Get ready to launch your first web app to Azure in Milestone 3! Whether you are a beginner or an expert, this roadmap will guide you through the steps and choices you need to make to deploy your app successfully.
This step gives you 2 deployment options:-
Deploy from a starter sample, by selecting your programming language of choice
Deploy on Learn Cloud using a Starter sample
If you don’t have your own code yet, no problem! Learn Cloud gives you access to a variety of sample projects created by Microsoft and the community. You can choose a project based on your favorite programming language, framework, tools, and more.
After you pick a project, the extension will show you how to set up azd on your local machine and deploy the project to your Azure account with one click. You can also explore the code and the Azure resources to learn how the project works and what you can do with it.
2. The other option is to deploy from your own code on GitHub.
Deploy from your code in GitHub
Imagine deploying your code to Azure with just a few clicks. That’s what you can do with App Spaces, a powerful Azure service that scans your GitHub repository and automatically picks the best Azure service for your web application. Based on your code structure, App spaces will deploy your web application to either a Static Web App or Azure Container App handling the deployment for you and letting you focus on your code.
Deployment through App Spaces
[4] Azure Tools
Are you ready for more? The final module of this course will blow your mind with the amazing tools that Azure offers to take your code to cloud journey to the next level. You’ll learn how to use other relevant services on Azure that can supercharge your web application’s performance, security, scalability, and functionality.
Learn cloud – Azure tools
But don’t stop there! You can share your ideas, feature requests and report bugs by contributing to the project on GitHub.
You have seen how easy it is to create, deploy, and manage web applications on Azure using various tools and frameworks. You have also gained hands-on experience with the code to cloud workflow and best practices shared on Learn Cloud. Now you have the skills and knowledge to build your own web applications on the cloud and take advantage of the benefits that Azure offers. Whether you want to develop a personal project, a professional portfolio, or a business solution, Azure has the right tools and services for you.
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the endless possibilities that cloud computing can offer you. You’ll be amazed by how much you can achieve with Azure.

Project for the Web start and end times
We have a business requirement to set start and end times (or could be start time and duration) for tasks. During a go-live, we plan tasks to the 15 minute increment. For example, we need to specify that Task1 starts at 9:00, Task 2 at 9:15, Task 3 at 9:30, task 4 at 10:15, etc. I feel like there should be Start/End DateTime field types, but cannot find such a thing.
Thoughts?

When Navigating Away and Returning to My Teams Static Tab Extension, It Reloads—How to stop reload?
I have developed a static tab extension for Microsoft Teams using ReactJS. The tab functions as expected; however, when I navigate to other Teams features such as Chat or Calendar and then return to my tab, it reloads from the beginning. This results in a poor user experience since the tab does not retain its previous state or position.
I want my static tab to behave like the native Teams tabs, where it retains its state and loads instantly when navigated back to. How can I achieve this in a ReactJS-based Teams tab? Are there any specific ways or methods to achieve native behavior? Additionally, are there any changes in the manifest that could fix this reload issue?
Any guidance or recommendations on how to effectively implement state persistence to achieve a seamless user experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

insight – PowerShell proper setup
Hello, been using Windows 11 for few months since MS will be ending support next year windows 10 by far is better. Anyways I was wondering why there are different versions of Power shell windows 11 came with 5.1 or 5.2 i downloaded power shell 7.1 now it seems that power shell has two different versions installed is this true? what is the proper way to have power shell setup / updated and ready to use? I know there are new features and what not but just want to make sure it is setup correctly on my system for example updating Power shell 5.1 with latest command updates does not install power shell 7.1 why is this , is it a entire new module?

Centralizing user data folders in a dual-boot Windows 11 configuration
I just built a new computer and I’ve setup a dual-boot, both with Windows 11 Pro. One install is for normal computing, work, web surfing, whatever; basically anything I’m using my computer for that isn’t gaming. The other is my gaming install and I will only install the bare minimum of apps and only things I need for gaming. I plan to keep that instance extremely lean, clean and organized. I pulled a spare 2 TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus out of my old computer and am going to use it as a bulk storage drive. I plan to move my user data folders there. My question is, can I have the user data folders from both Windows 11 installations point to the same location on this drive and share them between both installs? It would just be much cleaner if I could keep everything in one location, rather than having two documents folders, two pictures folders, two video folders, etc.
I should mention that I’m obviously not talking about AppData or any other more important system like directory. I speaking mainly of Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Saved Games, Videos.
Thanks.

One install is for normal computing, work, web surfing, whatever; basically anything I’m using my computer for that isn’t gaming. The other is my gaming install and I will only install the bare minimum of apps and only things I need for gaming. I plan to keep that instance extremely lean, clean and organized. I pulled a spare 2 TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus out of my old computer and am going to use it as a bulk storage drive. I plan to move my user data folders there. My question is, can I have the user data folders from both Windows 11 installations point to the same location on this drive and share them between both installs? It would just be much cleaner if I could keep everything in one location, rather than having two documents folders, two pictures folders, two video folders, etc. I should mention that I’m obviously not talking about AppData or any other more important system like directory. I speaking mainly of Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Saved Games, Videos. Thanks. Read More
Issue with OneDrive App Folder Creation – Need Assistance
Subject: Issue with OneDrive App Folder Creation – Need Assistance
Hello everyone,
I am currently facing an issue with OneDrive where it’s not creating a folder for my application in the Apps folder of the user’s OneDrive root directory when I first invoked the folder using the special folder namespace. I would appreciate any help or suggestions from the community.
Here are the steps I’ve taken so far:
I added the Files.ReadWrite.AppFolder permission to the application. I have successfully obtained the token.
I attempted to use the API to create my app’s folder, but unfortunately, it failed. I have attached a screenshot for reference (Please see the attachment below).
As a reference, I have been following this Knowledge Base article: Creating your app’s folder in OneDrive
I’m not sure why the app folder creation is not working as expected. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has any suggestions, I would be grateful for your input.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Leo

Multiple Sessions of excel open unexpectedly
I will have an excel session open. If I then attempt to click on file in my downloads to open, a second session of Excel will open instead of opening in the first (primary) session. Very annoying as it attempts to open Personal.xlsb and tells me it is already in use. I then have to close the second session and proceed with my work.
1) Why is this happening?
2) How can I prevent this from happening.

Variation in answers with Copilot
Hello everyone, I have been wondering the reason why sometimes colleagues and myself get different responses from Copilot to the same prompt.
We have found that sometimes Copilot is working with me but my colleagues recieve messages like “I can’t answer this right now, ask later”, “I have trouble anwering this”, and those type of messages. Is that a connection to the web type of scneario or why is that we get different answers?
Also, I have found out that sometimes it gives me the answer just as I need, I try to modify the prompt to see if I can get better results and it stops working. Then later, 2 o 3 hours later, I try again and it works again, same prompt. Why is that?
Thank you in advance!

outlook set up mail Chinese fonts garbled
I have a very irritating problem. Everyday the default Chinese fonts (including all fonts for reply emails, new emails, and forwards) that I set after clocking outlook would become garbled. Every time I reset it, the result is that the next time my computer reboots to clock outlook will revert to a garbled font again. Very irritating. The screenshot below shows the garbled fonts that appeared yesterday and today. Can you please help me to solve this problem? Thanks for your help.

Having trouble creating formula to show 1 of three outputs based on matching information in columns
Hello everyone. I am trying to compare assets in 2 databases. There are varying numbers of assets in each and I want to create a formula that compares which assets are replicated in both and which are unique to one database and not the other. I have a workbook with two sheets, one titled Webfinity and one titled CSOD. I want to compare the value in cell (‘webfinity’ z:1) with any value in (‘csod’ I1:I500). If it finds a match, I want to populate (‘webfinity’ z:1) with “both”, if no match then “webfinity only” and (the really tough one) if a cell in (‘csod’ I1) does not have a matching value in (‘webfinity’ z1:z500) then put value of (‘csod’ a2-z2) in the next available empty row of ‘webfinity’ and putting “csod Only” in first column and the remainder of data in adjacent columns.
I can get the first two to work by applying a formula to all and then, sort and apply a different formula to those that remained blank. Formula: =IF(IFNA(MATCH(Z65,’Partner CSOD’!$I$1:$I$500,0),0)>0,” Both”,””) I changed to =0 to return “webfinity only”.
If no way to create one formula for all of it and paste down the sheet, would at least like a way to do the first two together in one formula.
Thanks in advance for your help. Happy to attach spreadsheet, but not sure how 🙂 First time posting.

Calculated Column Header Workaround
OK, I have a SharePoint List problem that I have to believe would be common; for anyone using calculated field however, I’ve looked high and low and cannot find a solution or JSON string that will seem to work. I’ll also add that I’m not a programmer and I’m relatively new to this level of SharePoint administration, but I’m pretty persistent and generally pretty capable.
In solving the age-old “custom sort” challenge I created a calculated column that works off a frequency field (options being Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Ad-Hoc, None) because I did not want to use the technique of numbering my labels (1 – Daily, 2-Weekly etc.) The sort works perfectly; the problem is in the grouping. I use a grouping on the (hidden calculated column) sort value and a secondary sort on the Frequency, ending up with Group Sort Title Labels that look like this
FSort: 1 (17)
Frequency: Daily (17)
Daily 7AM Report Name Content1 Content1 Content1…
Daily 7AM Report Name Content2 Content2 Content2…
Etc
I want to either drop/not display the Primary Sort Title (in this case and only show the secondary sort; I’m willing to use a professional-looking workaround like changing the Group Title font to white where it won’t as awkward as it does today since most backgrounds will be white. Any ideas or links to places that can provide me more options to try? I’ll note that CoPilot and ChatGBT provided me a cornucopia of irrelevant information. I know all about Conditional Formatting in columns; this is specifically the Group title. Thanks!!!
