Buy Microsoft Azure For Dummies 2 by Hyman, Jack A. (ISBN: 9781119898061) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Not a typical dummies book, but a good Azure overview if you have some IT knowledge. - Conclusion This 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. Review: A forgettable book

I enjoyed this book. Good structure and a solid intro to Azure and cloud concepts.

Looking for a step by step guide to get started with Azure was not present. This makes comprehension very difficult. I don’t use this reference book anymore

Good book for learning Azure and it's functionality.

The quality of many screenshots is very poor. I needed a magnifying glass. (Therefore, 2 stars instead of 3.) Generally: The book is a collection of many (useful) hints concerning how you can use Azure, but in my opinion not a good introduction for dummies. You may learn what you can do, but maybe not get a clear picture of the concepts behind.
