I read the Kindle version. I didn't know much about this before - I have learned quite a lot so thanks!
I'd say overall it's not bad but by no means perfect. The example use cases do waffle on and are not very cohesive in places. There are numerous typos (like CORN instead of CRON). It is already rather out of date in some areas (like the choice of .net version for functions).
I think I'd like more or a fully worked example or two in the book, for something useful instead of purely theoretical. Perhaps with a link to repo or similar?
