I would like to share a link to my Azure SQL Database Stairway series hosted over at SQLServerCentral.

As stated on the website a stairway guide is a series focused on a single topic and is arranged into no more than a dozen easily-navigable tutorials that we call ‘steps’. Each step is the length of a typical magazine tutorial, and emphasizes practical, hands-on learning, with just enough background theory to help you understand the topic.

You will learn the following:

1. An introduction – Getting started with Azure SQL Database.
2. Creating a “logical” SQL Server.
3. Creating an Azure SQL Database.
4. Connecting to the database.
5. Basic administration tasks.

This was written with the intention that you have ZERO experience with Azure, I hope you will find it useful.
