DevOps has become a major topic for developers, testers, project managers and many others involved in building software products. Microsoft has introduced Azure DevOps as their tool for implementing DevOps practices.
This book is intended to provide the reader a step-by-step, easy to follow guide to learn how Azure DevOps works in a real world project using detailed samples and visual guidance through screenshots. Therefore, the approach taken in this book is very simple and allows even beginners to follow along and get a good understanding on Azure DevOps.
Rather than explaining detailed technical information, this book mainly focuses on the practical aspect of how someone new to Azure DevOps can easily get started with it. Therefore, you will see theoretical explanations only when needed to explain a certain scenario. The main focus is to complete a specific task using Azure DevOps.
