i want learn windows azure prepare mcsd web development certification. assuming have access visual studio, vmware, sql server etc., possible develop , test azure applications locally? want run azure on virtual machine without registering @ microsoft website, applying trial periods etc. suggestions?
tldr: can learn lot azure without account. enough pass test; maybe not enough manage production deployment.
you can learn lot how applications run inside of azure using emulators (express , full) included azure tools visual studio. microsoft has several decent articles on getting started azure tools. however, there tacit knowledge using azure -- things how navigate management portals (or fact there two portals) -- can learned through using infrastructure. kinds of questions may not on test, knowledge helpful if ever have deal azure in professional context. start emulator, build things run on azure, , once have few samples, reconsider using 30 day trial run in azure , "feel" real thing.
as side note, azure platform has evolved quite bit on last several years... if find reading article 2011 or '12, may want check again newer information, recommended tools/apis/etc may deprecated or plain gone in newest sdks.
