Welcome back to Microsoft Skills for Jobs! In this course, we’ll delve into collaborative software development.
In the dynamic world of software development, simply having access to the best tools is not enough. Developers also need a platform through which to share information, data, and even entire software versions seamlessly and securely. All this is possible with collaborative services like GitHub.
In simple terms, GitHub is like a digital hub for building and collaborating on software. It helps people, especially developers, work together on projects by keeping track of changes, managing different versions of the code, and making it easy for everyone to contribute.
Whether you’re part of a big team or working on a smaller project, services like GitHub make it possible to collaborate, share ideas, and build better software together.
It is recommended to complete the units in order, starting from the first one.
We also recommend that you complete the courses of this micro degree in order. Before taking on this one, please make sure that you have already completed the courses 1) Exploring Microsoft Azure, 2) Exploring Artificial Intelligence, and 3) Exploring Data and Analytics. This is the fourth course of this micro degree.
While GitHub is not the only collaboration platform available for Microsoft Azure, it’s among the most versatile, which you’ll soon see!

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a tool of the European Higher Education Area for making studies and courses more transparent. It helps students to move between countries and to have their academic qualifications and study periods abroad recognized. ECTS allows credits taken at one higher education institution to be counted towards a qualification studied for at another. ECTS credits represent learning based on defined learning outcomes and their associated workload. ECTS enhances the flexibility of study programmes for students. It also supports the planning, delivery and evaluation of higher education programmes. It is a central tool in the Bologna Process, which aims to make national education systems more comparable internationally. ECTS also helps make other documents, such as the Diploma Supplement, clearer and easier to use in different countries. ECTS has been adopted by most of the countries in the European Higher Education Area as the national credit system and is increasingly used elsewhere.
