ANECDOTE

Migration Sparked The Book

  • Jonah wrote Learning Microsoft Azure after migrating a poorly documented 10–15 year old .NET app as a junior developer.

ADVICE

Start With CAF And WAF

  • Use Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Well-Architected Framework (WAF) to assess and plan migrations before modernizing.
