Structured Azure Learning Path

I just organized my Azure learning journey into a structured plan and published it on Microsoft Learn.

Here's the thing: When you're learning cloud as a Nigerian developer, resources are everywhere. But structured resources? That's rare.

So I built an Azure Fundamentals for Beginners learning plan—a curated path through Microsoft's best content for people starting from zero.

What's included:
✅ Core Azure concepts (not the overwhelming details)
✅ Hands-on labs (actually building, not just reading)
✅ Practical focus (what you'll actually use in jobs)
✅ Free tier walkthrough (because budget matters)
✅ Real-world use cases (fintech, healthcare, IoT—stuff I'm building with)

Why I made this:
I'm learning Azure while building LedgerMind AI and Medlova. I realized I was jumping around Microsoft Learn, getting lost in the breadth. So I organized it.

If you're:
🎯 Starting with Azure (internship prep, GSoC, Outreachy)
🎯 Building side projects that need cloud infrastructure
🎯 Preparing for AZ-900 certification
🎯 Trying to understand cloud without drinking the marketing kool-aid

This plan saves you weeks of figuring out what to learn in what order.
