Who this book is for
This book is a must-buy for anyone who works with Azure's data services. However, anyone working with or studying big data will also find it helpful. AWS or Google data architects will also find this book very helpful in terms of comparing Synapse with their own big data analytics platforms. You need to have a basic knowledge of dedicated SQL pool and be familiar with Azure to understand all the concepts in this book. Some of the chapters are specific to data orchestration, Azure Machine Learning, and Power BI, so if you have prior knowledge of these topics, it will be easier for you to learn all the concepts covered in this book.
