Disclaimer: the publisher provided me a review copy of this book. The review below is my unbiased opinion and has not been edited or reviewed by the publisher.The book is a great resource for those starting their journey developing simple IoT applications, with or without Edge Computing. And since Edge Computing is one of the heavy IoT trends, it does not hurt starting the journey by focusing on those types of solutions. It is written in a very accessible language, chapters are short, and whenever necessary lots of details are provided, such as in the Hands On Lab scripts.I actually suggest the readers to review Chapters 1, 3, 4 and 7 first, then go back to the remaining chapters which give you examples and walk you through on the steps to build the elements of your Edge Analytic Solutions. And since spoilers are not a concern, it might be useful to read pages 223~225 first.What I liked:1) Chapters 2 and 3 do, in a short and sweet fashion, a great job of introducing the novice IoT developer to actual basic Edge components, such as common sensors and micro controllers, software code, connectivity options and lists examples of real life applications.2) The use of Device Explorer tool as an alternate way to connect to IoT Hub and monitor the output of the simulated devices.3) How thorough the Lab instructions are.4) The fact the author dedicated a good chapter to address security and privacy.What I did not like was mostly cosmetic:1) Quite some unnecessary information on Chapter 3 - pages 57~63 - could be left out or pushed to an appendix.2) Many questions at the end of each chapter do not add to the learning experience and I find hard to see the relevance to the topic (i.e. “What is the frequency used for CB channel 19 in Canada and the United States?”). The author should consider reducing the amount of questions and keep only relevant ones in future editions. And no matter how simple the questions are, it is a good practice to provide an answer key somewhere in the book.3) The Azure IoT Edge Components picture where one reads [Devices/Actions - IoT Edge/Decision - Azure IoT/Learning] could read instead [Devices/sensors and actuators - IoT Edge/data consumption and processing - Azure IoT/data storage, visualization and predictive analytics] which matches the approach used in chapter 6.What I missed:1) Pages 18-22 why not use a video analytics solution to compare architectures? I believe it would be easier to exemplify the advantages of an Edge Solution by comparing cost of all data traffic and storage, and delays, if all frames from all cameras are sent to the cloud for on-the-fly processing.2) Since the book covers the Solutions using Azure IoT technology, I missed information about Azure Sphere, maybe that topic is a bit too advanced for the intended book audience.

Disclaimer: The publisher asked me to review this book and gave a review copy, I will be 100% honest in my review about the good. The review is my personal opinionOverviewThe book is for anyone who has interest in learning abput IoT and specially Microsoft IoT Platform. You dont require previous experience in IoT only some tech/computer background.What I like:This book is great if you really don't have a lot of knowledge about IoT or concepts like the "edge." I greatly enjoyed reading about the history of concepts so common today as well as the reasons why you should learn about IoT right now.The comparison between the different architectures was wonderful taking you by the hand to understand the differences and when to use one or the other.The way he first shows you all the concepts and then puts them together and makes them fit into the practical examples was great. In addition, the clear way in which it explains the examples facilitates understandingOne of the topics that is not usually covered is the different types of protocols, I loved that he mentioned and explained several of them since in the day to day it is usual that you use them.That I did not like:I would have liked to read something about Azure Sphere

Disclaimer: I was provided with a free copy of this book, but the below is my objective review of the bookThe book "Hands-On Edge Analytics with Azure IoT" is a good starter book for anyone interested in IoT.Especially, since it starts with the introduction on Edge Analytics, the components and devices that make up an Edge Analytics solution.Next, it discusses the various communication protocols suitable for an edge device to talk to the hub.It then delves into an introduction of Microsoft Azure and Azure IoT Hub and how devices can be provisioned within the environment. It uses the Raspberry Pi as an example.After the completed (hardware) system is connected to the IoT hub, it then discusses the use of MicroPython in the environment and how it helps in Edge Analytics.There is also a topic about Machine Learning and its role in Edge Analytics, which I suspect might be too advanced for the novice. As part of it, there is an exercise of designing a Smart Doorbell which uses the learnings so far.Finally, it discuss the Security and Privacy issues encountered in IoT and how to mitigate those.As I stated above, this is a good book for a novice who needs to understand IoT and Edge computing.
