To develop Python applications with Azure, you need a Microsoft email account first and an Azure Free account afterwards.
The following web resource will help you getting started:
Create and manage resources
Written Assignment
Once you have your server stood up, you will then download and install Python for Windows. You will then write a minimum 1-page paper detailing the steps taken to set up the server, install Python, deploy, and run the program, and clean up the sandbox environment. You will also include screenshots of those processes in the appendix.
In your minimum 1-page paper (not including title page, references, or appendix) you will:
- Describe how you set up the Windows environment
- Describe the process to install Python
- Describe the process to bring your code to the server
- Describe how you executed your code
- Describe how you cleaned up the environment
- Include screenshots in the appendix of setting up the Windows environment
- Include screenshots in the appendix of installing Python
- Include screenshots in the appendix of executing your code. Use the following 2 foods for testing (and your screenshots)
- Nature Valley Granola Bar – 7g Fat, 29g Carb, 3g Protein
- Doritos 8g Fat, 18g, Carb, 2g Protein
- Include screenshots in the appendix of cleaning up the sandbox environment
Make sure to review the assessment rubric to ensure the inclusion of all required material.

Compare and Contrast Programming and Scripting Languages
Programming languages and scripting shells can often perform the same function, just as a unicycle and a sports car can still get you from place to place. However, that does not mean they are both equally acceptable for the same task.
Written Assignment
Write a minimum 2-page paper (not including title page or references) that compares and contrasts high level programming languages and command shells. You will include which you would use for which types of applications. You are to include, but are not limited to, programming for:
- Commercial end user applications
- Securing servers
- Adding users
- Setting up servers
- System testing
Make sure to review the assessment rubric to ensure inclusion of all required material.Directions for Submitting Your Assessment
Compose your Part 1 (Python for Windows) and Part 2 (Contrasting Programming and Scripting Languages) assessments together with screenshots of Part 1(in an Appendix section), in a single Microsoft Word document.
