| Audience | What they’ll gain | |----------|-------------------| | | Hands‑on labs with .NET, Node.js, and Python SDKs; ready‑to‑copy code snippets. | | Solution Architects | Design patterns for multi‑tenant twin environments and integration with legacy ERP/SCADA systems. | | IoT Engineers | Best practices for device provisioning, telemetry mapping, and edge‑cloud sync. | | Data Scientists | How to surface twin telemetry into Azure Synapse, Azure Data Explorer, or ML pipelines. | | Students & Researchers | A concrete, industry‑grade example to complement academic coursework on CPS (cyber‑physical systems). |
What the book is about “Hands‑On Azure Digital Twins” is a practical guide that walks developers, solution architects, and IoT engineers through the end‑to‑end process of building, deploying, and managing digital twin solutions on Microsoft Azure . Rather than focusing on theory alone, the author blends clear explanations with step‑by‑step labs, code snippets, and real‑world scenarios that can be reproduced in a sandbox Azure subscription. | | Data Scientists | How to surface
