In this chapter, we will explore Azure Function with other languages. Up to now we have seen examples of Azure Function in JavaScript.
We can write Azure Functions in many languages such as C#, Python, F#, PHP, and JavaScript.
In this chapter, we will write Azure Functions in the following languages:
- The Python Function App
- The PHP Function App
