Step 3 - Making changes and deploying Function code - Local Development

In the Function App I am using the default Visual Studio approach. I can write the code just like any other function app and when I want to deploy it I can right click on the project and use the publish option. This will use the publisher profile approach to deploy my code to the function app which I can configure in the publishing wizard.

Once the publish from Visual Studio is setup this gives me a great way to write code, build the project and publish it to repeatedly cycle over the development of the function app.

I am also able to use the normal approach with F5 so I can test the function app locally in isolation on my development machine using the function app emulator.
