Do we really need to be explained how to program ASP.NET MVC? No insight provided on solution design approaches specific to the product. A single blog post turned out to be more useful for me than 250 pages of this book: StackOverflow.

This was a nice book on Cosmos DB. It assumes that you're a beginner as a developer and explains all the details in order to make Cosmos DB work. For an experienced developer, it becomes a little tedious to read.

Los primeros 3 capítulos interesantes. El resto se vincula más a construir aplicaciones utilizando el servicio.
