C# has powered Windows .NET application development for nearly two decades and Google Cloud is committed to supporting developers getting their .NET workloads up and running on Google Cloud. In this quest, you will learn how to run C# apps in Google Cloud, and specifically how to take your apps to the next level by interfacing them with the big data and machine learning APIs that are accessible now from C#. By enrolling in this quest you will see firsthand how seamlessly Google Cloud integrates with .NET workloads and what the possibilities are for leveraging big data and ML services in your own C# projects.
