This book does a great job in describing Azure Synapse Analytics, its different engines - dedicated and serverless pool, based on MPP (Massively Parallel Processing) for your relational distributed workloads, and Spark pool for big data workload needs - and to get you started with step by step instructions. Further, it neatly covers how to build data integration pipelines and finally on consumption side, how to connect Power BI for visualization and to build machine learning models. If you are beginner, this book has step by step instructions to get you started quickly on Azure Synapse Analytics or if you are an experienced developer/architect this book has sections dedicated to help design modern analytics platform based on lambda architecture (batch and real-time) as well as provides proven best practices to optimize the performance of your application.

Really Amazing content and precisely articulated.The best part of the book is being able to cater the learning needs for each and every individual irrespective of their current level of understanding of synapse whether being a beginner or an expert, the book has something in it for you and it will help you enhance your existing knowledge base.Must read !!

This book approaches Synapse from all angles with an insider's view.You'll find a lot of books on data warehousing and designing your schemas, but they all contain very little information on how to actually build your pipelines and ingest data using Synapse specific tools, with a focus on leveraging all the bells and whistles the product has.This book fills in those gaps and helps you make the most of this workhorse of an offering from Microsoft. If you're on the fence, by all means get this book. Highly recommended.

Behind Closed Doors is a book that tries to answer many important questions and describes all important concepts of Analytics and Predictive modeling. The plot starts with the basics of analytics then covers all the important features of Synapse - Serverless and dedicated pool. It covers a wide variety of details of this area. I recommend this book for all freshers and experience holders with new legs in this area.
