Azure Data Factory by Example: Practical Implementation for Data Engineers 1st ed. Edition

As an author myself, I appreciate a well written technical training book and this is a great one. Glad I bought it. While more screen shots would be nice, it is pretty easy to follow the instructions and do what is needed. The content is really well presented.

I agree with some of the reviewers that trying to explain in words where to go and click is more difficult than giving couple of screen-shots, I lost within few minutes of starting the document, actually within the 1st chapter itself. I could not find the items that book says go and click or view, those options no longer exist, I believe due to version upgrades etc.I have returned the book as it is kind of not useful than searching on Google/YouTube for better content.

Though some small differences in the interface and the book. The Book is easy to follow and teaches real world uses.

I’ve read quite a few ADF books and as of this date this is the best of the best. The ADF Cookbook would come second.

if you are just beginning with ADF, already have basic familiarity with Azure portal, and do not like to learn through video courses then this books is your best guide to learn ADF structurally from scratch. contrary to some reviews, the books has plenty of screenshots and very clear instructions that are written in simple language. you will get to learn ADF in a systematic approach especially learning to use Git repo and Azure storage explorer. make sure you buy it directly from Apress as a PDF version, the screenshots for kindle and EPUB versions are not properly optimized. Kudos for Mr. Swinbank for sharing his valuable time and putting together this great beginner guide highly recommended.

This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to learn Azure Data Factory. What I liked most about this book were the exercises which demonstrate how to connect Azure Data Factory to other Azure services (Azure DevOps, Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, Azure Key Vault) to build a complete solution. This is the most useful Azure data engineering book I have and I give it my highest recommendation. Well done!
