The Power of Azure
Master cloud computing with Microsoft Azure and you could win $1,000!
Cloud computing is changing the technology industry. When you start looking for your first job, will you have the cloud on your résumé? You will if you compete in our Hello Cloud Challenge!
Every month, one student will win our $1,000 sweepstakes. To compete, all you need to do is sign up for Azure (free, no credit card required) through Microsoft Imagine and then complete one or more of our Hello Cloud activities. Each activity you complete gives you another chance to win. And you only have to do each activity once – your name will still be in the sweepstakes month after month!
Register for our Hello Cloud contest today and you can get started!
The Hello Cloud activities are hands-on real world scenarios that will help you learn how to manage and deploy projects in the cloud!
Activity One: Socialize your Azure Web App
1. Deploy your own Azure web app. If you haven't already take a look at our blog for a step-by-step tutorial on how to deploy a web app to Azure from Visual Studio Community 2015.
2. Tweet the following message on Twitter: "I just entered for a chance to win $1000 with @MSFTImagine #HelloCloudSweepstakes by leveraging the power of #Azure! http://compete.imagine.microsoft.com/hellocloud”
3. Visit the Twitter developer’s page and learn how to obtain the embed code for your Hello Cloud tweet and copy and paste it into your Azure web app.
