Module 1: Developing Long-Running Tasks and Distributed Transactions

Topics for this module include: implementing large-scale, parallel, and high-performance apps using batches; HPC using Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines; implementing resilient apps by using queues; as well as implementing code to address application events by using webhooks. Implementing a webhook gives an external resource a URL for an application; the external resource then issues an HTTP request to that URL whenever a change is made that requires the application to take an action.
