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.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
