The book provides clear explanations for all software engineers who are migrating from the On Premise world to the cloud, it contains clear examples of the most common mistakes that developers have when trying to make software without using the advantages of the Cloud.This is the guide that all software developers and architects need to achieve certification.

The book contains a simple explanations about the cloud, this is not my area but, was really easy to understand and clarified me many concepts that always listen when someone talk me about the cloud services. Also my level of english is not to high, but is easy to read.I think is a great alternative if you want to learn and make the first step on the cloud services.

The author summarizes in this book best practices that are usually spread among several pages in the official documentation and your whatsoever-favorite-online resource you might get.This book evolved nicely from its firsts drafts: in this published version, I loved the incremental way contents are displayed, starting from basic concepts, up to specific intermediate/advanced ideas, without losing focus on the target audience: developers! So you will find in this book all things starting from a friendly way to get into many of the most used services in GCP, first steps in to using most of them, strategies for developing your firsts applications, how to modernize them (by replacing whenever possible functional parts with cloud services), how to secure them, and how to evolve them in time (this is, optimize!). As you may suspect, the lifecycle of your app doesn't end there: you need to monitor it, and eventually know how to face problems in the best possible way: this book also provides you guidelines on this issues.If all that doesn't convince you yet, well, the book adds two "one more thing" treats, if your goal is to get the Professional Cloud Developer certification: a complete analysis for the HipLocal official case study (part of the exam guide at least by September 2021), and a bunch of questions (and its answers) for you to practice!This is a hands-on book with focus on cloud-first topics. Go for it.

I passed the GCP Prof. Cloud Developer exam in 2022-05, then discovered this book and read it. I wish I found and read it before my exam. It has a lot of good and useful details and info for GCP Development. It can save you a LOT of time looking up Google Docs (some are hard to understand, e.g. OAuth2) and some simply not there at all, e.g. When to use What type of flowcharts for storage, database, compute/serverless. This book provides a good study material for this tough exam. I like some coding examples (e.g. Firestore transaction, collections on p.197+) and a lot of useful keywords and explanations (you need to know them to pass the cert exam).The case study chapter on p.297+ is good and walk through the backgrounds, mapping btw. current services and GCP services. It helps plan a better GCP environment to overcome some business and technical requirements.A couple suggestions for future improvement:1/ Some practice questions (p.311+) seem easier than the actual exam.2/ Found a few typo on p.100, p.106 and p.107.
