To get the most out of this book
To get the most out of the book, we recommend that you create an Azure account and take advantage of Microsoft's 30-day free trial to follow along with the practical examples. We will spend most of our time in the Azure portal, Azure Cloud Shell, and the Data Explorer Web UI. We also recommend that you clone the repository to your local machine and use Visual Studio Code to experiment and modify the code samples.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
Please remember to turn off/deallocate your resources in Azure to avoid incurring extra charges.
