Microsoft Certified Azure Fundamentals Study Guide: Exam AZ-900 (Sybex Study Guide)

Sybex always has the best books for Technical Certification Preparation. The book is well layed out according to the exam criteria. The level of detail goes deeper than needed for the exam which helps you gain overall confidence. I was able to pass with an 890 and never had to open the Azure console (but did use the sandbox on the Microsoft Leaning site) Online materials were amazing especially the practice exams and chapter question revies.

I used this book when studying for the AZ-900. I enjoyed it, it was easy to follow. Not dull like other cert books I’ve read through.

The Azure Fundamentals Study Guide is excellent. It provides a quick overview without spending too much time on trivial details while provide excellent coverage of the important details. One small problem is that Sybex limits copying content. This is regrettable because it consumes time replicate content in notes, like comments on why a review question response is correct.

I have been an AWS technologist for about 10 years (30+ in software overall), and recently took a role where the company uses Azure. To come up to speed as quickly as possible, I am studying for key certifications, and I wanted a book to cut down my learning time. After looking at various options online, I chose this book. When it arrived in the mail, I was skeptical. It was pretty thin at ~170 pages of content. I was afraid I had made a mistake; however, after reading it, I found it to be a clear, well-written, and informative text. The author (Jim Boyce) explains the essential concepts with good examples and simple but useful diagrams. The questions at the end of each chapter are relevant and help highlight the most important material. The book includes 2 practice exams (I haven't taken them yet, so can't attest to their quality) and electronic flashcards. I think the book is a good choice for anyone wanting a compact (but by no means flimsy), clear walkthrough of Azure essentials with an eye towards taking and passing the AZ-900 exam. The only downside is that book contains a few typos, e.g., SLQ vs. SQL. While this turns me off a little bit, I need to lay blame at the feet of the editor and publisher (Sybex) and not the author. All in all, these few typos do not detract from the usefulness of the book.

The book is well formatted and presents domain concepts very well. I especially like the pretest, chapter test, and robust question answer key. - Excellent Study Guide.

I studied using the online exam practices included with the book and was able to pass reviewing that alone! Do be sure to study things like storage and governance really well as I felt the review didn't feel like it covered those details enough.

Great resource for the book, tons of information of the basic and interconnects of MS Azure. Passed with a 795.

Passed the exam using this book and free online resources only. Scored just under 800. Be careful not to sign up for AI-900 exam for Artificial Intelligence instead of AZ-900 which if you look on-line a lot of people are doing. Microsoft should make the exam names and codes more different.

This new version is not in colour so the images are not as clear, this is very much a cheapskate tactic to increase profit margins, I feel robbed, I will have to return it and buy an older version from ebay

Très clair avec un résumé et un qcm par chapitre. Je ne comprends pas les autres commentaires négatifs. Ce livre m'a beaucoup aidé.

I recently used the Microsoft Certified Azure Fundamentals Study Guide: Exam AZ-900 to prepare for the exam, and I found it to be a helpful resource overall. The guide is well-structured and provides clear explanations of key Azure concepts, which are crucial for anyone new to cloud computing. The content is easy to follow, and it covers all the important topics that you’ll need to know for the exam, from cloud concepts to Azure pricing and governance. The study materials are concise and well-organized, making it easier to break down the information into manageable chunks. I also appreciated the focus on real-world applications of Azure, which helped me understand how the concepts fit into actual scenarios. That said, I wish there were more practice questions included in the guide. The few that are offered are helpful, but more extensive practice material would have been beneficial for better exam preparation. Additionally, some sections could go a bit deeper into certain topics for those who want a more thorough understanding. Overall, I’d recommend this study guide for anyone preparing for the AZ-900 exam. It’s a solid starting point, but you may want to supplement it with additional practice exams or resources to ensure you’re fully prepared.

il problema è che è costoso e pure obsoleto, costasse la metà lo potrei anche capire, ci sono corsi online che costano 16 dollari, non ne vale la pena.

Poor explanations.
