Creating a function

We discussed the overall serverless approach and went through local configuration to make sure that we have some basic understandings of what Azure Functions is and how we can start working with it. In the remainder of this chapter, I will show you what exactly this service offers and how to work with it on daily basis. This will enable you to start developing full projects with Azure Functions—from the simplest to the most advanced ones.

Using Visual Studio Code

In the previous section, you created a function using a wizard in Visual Studio. If you go back to this project and open its file, you will see some common code, which is always created with this template:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net;
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker;
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Http;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
namespace Company.Function
{
    public static class HttpTrigger1
