As someone who knows next to nothing, take my comment for what it's worth. Pros: Fast read and well rounded. Cons: Author left out a few explanations (i.e. preventative security measures in the cyber security chapter).
Explains succinctly the idea of it. From cloud computing, through database management and creation to security and system management, it introduces nicely.
