I just passed the exam in my first attempt! What a hard ride, I thought I was screw when I saw the questions and coulnd't believe my eyes when I saw my final score (782). Hopes everyone good luck and please take your time preparing!
I passed the exam yesterday for the first attempt; your course here helped me understand the core concepts amazingly; thanks a lot, bro! I suggest to start making long courses hands-on, your content is priceless.
Seriously, great learning material. Everything seems be simple, but you know that behind that is very good teacher. You have a gift to take complete knowledge in short amount of time. There isn't a lot of this good materials. Keep it up!
Awesome video! I just passed AZ-204 thanks in part to this video! Honestly your videos are better than some other paid ones. You know how to be concise, while also giving a great amount of information.
2 days before exam and reiterating the subjects with this video. Really instructive, fast-paced, well prepared and concise. Great job, really appreciated. Wish me luck!
Paused the video to make you realise how good you are at teaching. You had me at Triggers and Bindings. How beautifully you taught those example scenarios! My goodness. Keep growing bro. Stay Blessed ✨
Great course ! Microsoft Learn, with this course and whizlabs test have been more than enough for me. I passed it yesterday with a result of 850/1000. Thank you for such a great content ! Very helpful.
Thank you for the video! This video is great for general knowledge. I passed the exam last March 12, 2024. I watched this video two times, and the freecodecamp video. Exam dumps are not that helpful, but going to examtopics to read the "Discussion" portion would help in critical thinking and checking the documentation more.
🎯 Key points for quick navigation: 00:29 *🖥️ Azure exam AZ-204 focuses heavily on developing Azure compute solutions, covering topics like VMs, containers, Azure App Service, and Azure Functions.*

Thank you so much for this awesome course! It is incredibly helpful, especially since some topics/concepts seem very similar yet you point out the key differences between them! Such a huge help!
I just got this video and I have just one day to go for Azure 204 exam. I have no confidence because my prep is literally very bad. I am planning to go ahead with the second attempt already in my mind. However, I wish I have gotten this link earlier. It would have helped me with the prep. Way of explanation is very good only if I would have practiced as per the cram tutorial then I would have been able to retain it in my mind. Nevertheless, the tutorial is awesome, better than paid ones.
I just passed the exam in my first attempt! What a hard ride, I thought I was screw when I saw the questions and coulnd't believe my eyes when I saw my final score (782). Hopes everyone good luck and please take your time preparing!
How many questions in your exam?
Better than many paid courses. You are straight to the point rather than explaining all the theory.
Appreciate the kind feedback Rakesh!

Did you pass it or not yet ?
This is pretty fantastic. I'm putting this on repeat.
Man, I am taking my exam 3 days from now and this is the only material that I will rely on. Hoping to pass this exam in jesus name LOL!
Passed?

It is amazing content Abdullah! Please continue your efforts in this. You are really helping people to grow.
Keep the good work Abdullah, it will pay off soon 👍
Thank you so much for this awesome course! It is incredibly helpful, especially since some topics/concepts seem very similar yet you point out the key differences between them! Such a huge help!
This is a great study resource - concise with zero fluff. Thank you.
Such an awesome video I am grateful. This is allowing me to prime myself to go into further depth later. I will also cram again before the exam.
Great stuff, perfect summary of the examen content. Still very useful despite some examen updates in 2024 👍
This is THE BEST cram for az204 !
Thank you, this is timely and coming from you, is a plus!
Thanks Bobby!
thanks you for this work! I actually paid for a udemy course which didn't explain any details about these services. Appreciate your work my brother!
Thank you Abu-Hassan, Very precise exam cram! Your indepth insights is really helpful and it reflects the way you approach.

Great content btw 👍🏻
Great stuff, thanks!
Thank you for providing such an excellent content.
MASHALLAH Abdullah, very good 👍 effort
The light theme is better when you want in recording for us, thanks
I like your style of teaching...
I will take the exam in 3 weeks
great job bro as usual !!
Thank you Younes!
Great course
great content and well presented
Thanks, good course
Hi, can anyone tell me whether the au Microsoft Learn course is sufficient for the AZ-204 certification?
Good job, god bless you :)
Thank you :)
Do I need to be a programmer or Web developer to get this certificate? I want to get more azure certificates to have a better portfolio 😊
Where is this guy?
he is sleeping
Any pdf available for thia
حبيبي nice tut
If pdf also can be provided, it will be more helpful
Thank you for your service alhamdulila
