To get the most out of this book
This book tries to provide you with everything you need to learn. The Further reading section of each chapter contains links to pages that will help you deep dive, into topics that are peripheral to the contents of this book. It will help if you have some basic familiarity with the Azure portal and have read some Python code in the past.
In this book, we guide you to use the Notebooks experience available within the AzureML studio. If you want to execute the same code on your workstation instead of the cloud-based experience, you will need a Python environment to run Jupyter notebooks. The easiest way to run Jupyter notebooks on your workstation is through VSCode, a free cross-platform editor with fantastic Python support. You will also need to install Git in your workstation to clone the book’s GitHub repository.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
If you face any issue executing the code, ensure that you have cloned the latest version from the GitHub repository. If the problem persists, feel free to open a GitHub issue to describe the issue you are facing and help you solve it.
