Jack A. HymanMicrosoft Azure For Dummies

ConclusionThis book aims to provide a gentle yet thorough introduction to Microsoft Azure, does it succeed?I think it depends on the type of reader. If you’re a traditional ‘Dummies book series’ reader, then it fails, because it makes too many assumptions. If you work in IT, and especially if you already have some cloud/Azure knowledge, then it succeeds.Assuming you have some IT knowledge, then the book covers a wide range of topics, and sufficient depth, to give you some confidence in the topics. One gripe I had was, sometimes the author includes too much detail about the topic (e.g. the meaning of the various HTTP verbs), I think this is not necessary in an introductory book (else put it in footnotes or appendices).I don’t think this is a Dummies series book. But it is a useful introduction to a wide range of Azure topics if you work in IT and already have some cloud knowledge.
