New post from my irregular series. Have you got/bookmark/read all books from my previous lists five parts: 1 2 3 4 5? Even if not, get the new books quickly. Today I want to share links for few new and few-almost-new books. In first part three great titles from Microsoft Press from brand new and hot Microsoft Azure Essentials series:

BOOKLETS__MAE_FundamentalsOfAzureMAE: Fundamentals of Azure {LINK}

This ebook focuses on providing essential information about the key services of Azure for developers and IT professionals who are new to cloud computing. Detailed, step-by-step demonstrations are included to help the reader understand how to get started with each of the key services. This material is useful not only for those who have no prior experience with Azure, but also for those who need a refresher and those who may be familiar with one area but not others.

BOOKLETS__MAE_AzureAutomationMAE: Azure Automation {LINK}
Michael McKeown
This ebook introduces a fairly new feature of Microsoft Azure called Azure Automation. Using a highly scalable workflow execution environment, Azure Automation allows you to orchestrate frequent deployment and life cycle management tasks using runbooks based on Windows PowerShell Workflow functionality.

Jeff Barnes 
Microsoft Azure Machine Learning (ML) is a service that a developer can use to build predictive analytics models (using training datasets from a variety of data sources) and then easily deploy those models for consumption as cloud web services. Azure ML Studio provides rich functionality to support many end-to-end workflow scenarios for constructing predictive models, from easy access to common data sources, rich data exploration and visualization tools, application of popular ML algorithms, and powerful model evaluation, experimentation, and web publication tooling.
