      <guid>https://forem.com/fenildesai/how-i-passed-the-microsoft-azure-fundamentals-az-900-certification-exam-1dmn</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently I started preparing for the AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals certification exam from Microsoft with an aim to give the exam before the year 2020 ends. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AZ-900 is the first exam to be taken from the Azure certifications roadmap as given below. There are other exams as well, but I am looking to take the below developer roadmap.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2F5j0781m0zjlnxvcvsif2.PNG" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2F5j0781m0zjlnxvcvsif2.PNG" alt="Alt Text"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Below are the courses &amp;amp; materials which I have gone through: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Free&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Paid (Udemy)&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;1. &lt;a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/paths/azure-fundamentals/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Microsoft Learn path for AZ-900&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;5. AZ-900 Practice Questions Sample: &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;amp;v=Pc-Z3nHPTZg&amp;amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbW5YZDYtRTZ0bUktVVpSbC14TEo3YXZZWS1BZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuU2VJRkhWOE10aEtBalRScExZUzA1cWJsRWNycmJjU1JfMjlNWVhDY1I0NjRMSGlOR0lISGFLNFNldjRvTGo0M1JvRmU0eGNta2VCaW1SZFhDMTVoU0lCVGRkWlJUMnV2Q3cwREtDS2hjTGhqVkU0VQ%3D%3D&amp;amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.itexams.com%2Finfo%2FAZ-900" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.itexams.com/info/AZ-900&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How I prepared for the certification:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;20-30 minutes of daily learning for 30 days. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Practice tests were very helpful in testing the learning &amp;amp; mocking an exam scenario which helps to build confidence before the actual exam. So always try to give some practice tests. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you are already aware of basic cloud computing concepts, then try to give the practice tests first, just to assess your knowledge. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Currently if you register for the Microsoft Virtual Training Days &amp;amp; attend the event then you can get a shot at the Azure Fundamentals certification free of cost.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So what are you waiting for – Register &lt;a href="https://mktoevents.com/Microsoft+Event/231731/157-GQE-382" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; get your free exam certification voucher. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is your employer, a Microsoft Partner, then you can schedule your Microsoft certification for free. Try registering with your work email. Follow the steps: via Twitter &lt;a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/johanrin"&gt;@johanrin&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Schedule a new exam &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Edit your profile by changing your email by your work email &amp;amp; confirm &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enter this email again &amp;amp; click Check Eligibility &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enter your code to confirm &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Claim your voucher &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You can schedule AZ-900 certification exam by visiting&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/az-900" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/az-900&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cost of the certification exam depends based on the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Due to the pandemic, Microsoft has provided an option to take up the exam from the comfort of your home.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do remember, before the exam day, you need to test your system by completing the OnVUE system requirements - &lt;a href="https://home.pearsonvue.com/op/OnVUE-technical-requirements" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://home.pearsonvue.com/op/OnVUE-technical-requirements&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please share your questions or comments, will be happy to help. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Created a Twitter bot which retweet hashtag #AzureDevOps</title>

      <guid>https://forem.com/fenildesai/created-a-twitter-bot-which-retweet-hashtag-azuredevops-843</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently I have been exploring the Twitter API &amp;amp; in process thought to create a Twitter Bot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many topics came to my mind while creating the twitter bot, but finally pinned down to #AzureDevOps as it is one topic I am also very much interested in &amp;amp; there wasn't a twitter bot for the same.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Without further ado, let me present to you the #AzureDevOps twitter bot - &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/azuredevopsbot"&gt;https://twitter.com/azuredevopsbot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Feel free to follow the bot for the latest news &amp;amp; updates on #AzureDevOps.&lt;/p&gt;
