A waste of money. The majority of this book was clearly written by an AI. It repetitively regurgitates facts about Databricks in the same style as ChatGPT. I had hoped it would be a hands-on tutorial that walked through how to use the important features, but it does little more than tell you about them. And the short code examples that are given are barely explained.
