Hi everyone. Newbie to this forum.

I've been writing a reasonably large database in MsAccess which I now wish to rewrite for the cloud.

I figure I need to learn alot and will probably sub a great deal of development out but to begin with, i need to rework the data diagrams, plan the database and start working up some ideas.

All I really know at present is Ms Access and VBA. I'm thinking of eventually writing the app in Azure and linking into Quickbooks which appears to have a good set-up for Azure.

What does everyone think of this platform and how should I proceed with up-skilling to a basic level in this area (languges to learn, online courses to do etc..?)

Thanks very much for any advice you can give.

Larry

Thanks Jack

Is there a well structured book which will take me from my place of relative ignorance to somewhere where I will at least understand the lay of the land?

Cheers,

Larry
