What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled?

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.

“Azure Data Scientist Associate Certification Guide”: for Microsoft Certified DP-100 exam - The content in the book is prodigious, and the authors have tried to compile all the important DP-100 ML exams-related topics in a medium-sized book.This book contains relevant hands-on exercises which are easy to follow along and implement with a visual interface, not only The order of the content topics is extremely good as well.This book covers advanced topics that are required for certification, so prior knowledge of the Azure cloud and basic ML knowledge is a bonus and makes learning easy.Each chapter has questions and references to “Further reading” which complement the exam topic, which is extremely helpful. The book starts from very basic topics and goes to advance topics as exams require to have an understanding of many topics, starting from overview, understanding Azure ML Studio, AutoML, Spark, Deployment, pipeline batch processing, real-time inference, analyzing model error, AzureML SDK, etc. I found the way topics are explained is fascinating. I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to pass the DP-100 exam and “get hands-on “ in MS Azure ml cloud platform. My recommendation would be to add more questions with answers for practice, this would add more value to the book.

I have been working with Andreas Botsikas, Michael Hlobil for more than 2 years now. As a category lead for FastTrack AI team, Andreas is instrumental on how we help our customers with AI solutions on a daily basis. His depth with Azure ML is such that for any ML question, my go to person is Andreas, he is my mentor. This book reflects the knee-deep expertise from Andreas and Michael. I recommend every professional, wanting to get up to speed with Azure ML, to take the journey with Andreas and Michael, as they take us through the core concepts of Azure ML, with examples, so you can become successful operationalizing your ML solution with Azure ML.

The book helped me practice and get ready for the certification exam. I recommend until Microsoft rolls out their Python SDK upgrade. After that happens, the book would need to be updated.
