Timothy Bowe Aug 28, 2024

This book has a wealth of information. The author clearly knows his field. In my opinion, this writer has a difficult time being concise. There are several times that full, poorly worded paragraphs are used when a concise sentence would have done the trick. There are also portions of the book that have punctuation written into Powershell commands. This is problematic because the rest of the book used a non-punctuated, literal recreation of the Powershell scripting. Proceed with caution. A little detective work will need to be done.

Great physical and electronic copy. Great content. Not completed yet, but: Examples could have a little more PowerShell. Love the links to documents, maybe links to videos as well; give a little closer Azure feel to those without a subscription. But still very helpful as is. Again, not done but answers or explanations to the chapter questions.

Fantastic resource if you're looking to pass your AZ-800 exam. Structured REALLY well to help build out a learning plan that you can put into practice in your lab environments to make sure you're covering off all the major topics.Highly recommend the book to anyone who has AZ exams in their future as a resource.

Sarah Bennell Jun 12, 2023

Steve's books are amazing. Great detail, in a level that you can easily read and understand.

Chris May 20, 2023

I absolutely love Steve's pace and flow to this book. Each section establishes a baseline to put the reader at an even level, the uses a building blocks approach to layer on new learnings with existing experience and knowledge. While this book is meant to be an exam reference, this book covers the real state of having on-premises, hybrid and cloud-based services. It also helps to address the skills gap with deep and thorough technical knowledge that prepares you to pass this exam with ease (with skills review after each chapter, and a quiz at the end) and positions you for greater success in your career!Wonderful job, Steve - can't wait to see what you create next!
