Lab Environment For the majority of demonstrations and activities, the class will use Microsoft Azure cloud services and the Azure cloud portal.

What to Be Aware of:

Students can choose to work independently or work in groups, but students are required to remain in class (online or in person). Each day builds on the previous day to complete the project, and each day's activities must be completed in order. Students will have two choices for selecting the domain for their website. The choices are based on the cost they are willing to spend.

Based on the student choice, they will follow specific project instructions in each project day.

If students purchase a domain, they can elect to cancel their domain for a full refund if they cancel their domain within 5 days of ordering.
