* [How to build a serverless report server with Azure Functions and SendGrid](https://medium.freecodecamp.org/how-to-build-a-serverless-report-server-with-azure-functions-and-sendgrid-3c063a51f963)

combines the [Sendgrid email API](https://sendgrid.com/) with some

configuration code to have Azure Functions kick off email jobs.

* [azure-cli](https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli) are the command line

tools for using all of Azure, not just Functions.

* [My (Rough) Start with Azure Functions](https://www.raymondcamden.com/2018/07/06/my-rough-start-with-azure-functions)

painstakingly details signing up for Azure, accessing Functions and

finally coding a Function. The author has some really great points on

what is confusing to newcomers that hopefully will be addressed

as Microsoft continues to work on their Azure platform.

* [Azure in Plain English](https://www.expeditedssl.com/azure-in-plain-english)

covers all of the Azure services and explains them because their

default names are often too vague to understand their purpose.
