An expert book writer should know that if the title of a technical book speaks about a platform, what the reader should find in it is the presentation of the whole platform.This book has a misleading title: it’s not about the whole IBM Watson platform offering, but it’s focused only on one technology: IBM Watson Analytics. On the top of this, in the preview and in the abstract of the book it was not possible to understand that! Last but not least, IBM Watson Analytics is no longer available for purchase: it has been cancelled from the IBM offering. I want my money back.
