I recently read the book "Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure AZ-204 Exam Guide - Second Edition" by Paul Ivey and Alex Ivanov. The book is a comprehensive and well-organized resource for individuals preparing for the Microsoft Azure AZ-204 exam. It covers various topics relevant to the exam and provides in-depth explanations to help learners reinforce key concepts and retain new knowledge.I am fully certified in Microsoft Azure, AWS, and GCP, so I am familiar with cloud concepts and how to apply technology on the Microsoft Azure platform effectively.I reviewed this book to help other learners pick great resources for their cloud careers, and this exam guide is a good read. The chapters are well organized and divided into sections with exercises for learners to speed up their learning journey. It goes beyond the minimum requirement for clearing the exam, which is beneficial as it prepares learners not just to pass an exam as a developer but also to become well-rounded Azure DevOps or Architect Experts as their career goal.I have yet to try all the online resources in the book, but as a learner, I know that hands-on practice is vital for success in clearing this exam and building a solid path to a cloud career. Please spend time on the labs and practice exam questions. For all practice exams, not just pick the correct answer, but also explain to yourself why that is the right one and then explain to others why the wrong answers were wrong. The drag-and-drop questions in the real exam will be tricky if you have not done enough actual tasks before.Overall, "The AZ-204 Exam Guide" is an indispensable companion for anyone preparing for the Microsoft Azure AZ-204 exam. Whether you are a seasoned Azure professional or just starting your Azure journey, this book equips you with the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed in the AZ-204 exam and beyond.
