In order to complete the the lessons you need to install the following:
| Prerequisite | Description |
|---|---|
| .NET Core 3.1 | The .NET runtime and SDK. |
| VSCode or VS2019 | VSCode is great for cross platform. VS2019 is best for Windows only. |
| VSCode AzureFunctions extension | Extension for VSCode to easily develop and manage Azure Functions. |
| Azure Functions Core Tools | Azure Functions runtime and CLI for local development. |
| RESTClient for VSCode or Postman | An extension or application to make HTTP requests. |
| Azure Storage Explorer | Application to manage Azure Storage resources (both in the cloud and local emulated). |
| Azure Storage Emulator (Windows only) or Azurite | Emulator for using Azure Storage services if you want to develop locally without connecting to a Storage Account in the cloud. If you can't use an emulator you need an Azure Storage Account. |
We strongly suggest you create a new folder (local git repository) and use this repository for reference only (for when you're stuck).
-
Create a new folder to work in:
C:\dev\mkdir functionsworkshop C:\dev\cd .\functionsworkshop\
-
Turn this into a git repository:
C:\dev\functionsworkshop\git init
-
Add subfolders for the source code and test files:
C:\dev\functionsworkshop\mkdir src C:\dev\functionsworkshop\mkdir tst
You should be good to go now!
