Simply put, this is an 'Excellent' book, probably the best book I have read specifically targeted towards learning & mastering the concepts required for passing, Microsoft Azure Exam DP-203 towards Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate certification.5 salient points:1) Excellent coverage of all relevant topics.2) Clear & precise explanations, and all topics well explained, with notes, and associated screenshots from the Azure portal for one to follow along to do hands-on.3) Personally, I loved the chapter on ‘Optimizing and Troubleshooting Data Storage and Data Processing’ and...4) The chapter on revising the key topics and sample questions for the Certification.5) In short, if you're already a Professional Data Engineer on Azure and yet to clear DP-203, OR an aspiring one, and plan mastering all the topics required to become a Professional Azure Data Engineer, this is a Must-Have book/pdf in your Library.Thanks to Newton Alex for authoring such a fantastic book.
