Content Request: Python Azure Functions intro about azure-functions-university

Should we also do the same for other supported languages like JavaScript/TypeScript?

Yes @lechnerc77, that would be great! Feel free to create an issue specific for JS/TypeScript if you want to contribute on those 😁.

Hi @vrdmr, yes I totally agree on thisssss 🐍😉.

It would be great if you could start with the Prerequisites and the HTTP Trigger lesson and 'translate' these to Python. Once these are in place you definitely continue with the other lessons, but we should also encourage others to contribute to make these translations 😊.

We should strive to maintain the structure of the existing lessons as much as possible. Let's also try to keep the function names and classes exactly the same so the test files can be re-used.

I suggest lessons/prerequisites-python.md and lessons/http-python.md as the filenames. We can add language subfolders inside the src folder, so we have src/python, src/typescript and src/dotnet etc. What do you think?

@marcduiker Sounds good! :)

I'll get the first ones started and will send in a PR.

I agree and will follow the same names for the App and Functions names.

I would love to see runtime (language) specific folders. I would add the version as well, to be very clear on what version of python is this training targeted on, and we can call out if there are any specific changes that can hit if folks are not using the specific version. Let me know if this is a good idea.

[marcduiker]

@vrdmr yes, good idea to include the runtime version as part of the folder name! I'll make the changes for the .NET Core sources.

The first lesson (Http trigger) has been picked up by @Dzvezdana. Closing this umbrella issue in favor of having separate issues for each specific topic (e.g. Queue, Table etc.)
