Great book for beginners to enter in BigData
This book is easy to understand to know what is Big query and how to use Google BigQuery, Google services with good examples.This book covers in beginning how to start with Google cloud services and their types of services. It helped me to do project in Google App Engine and Google BigQuery. We can learn BigQuery API with examples and the current capabilities of the platform.The great thing in this book is we can choose the language in C#.Net or Python to get into Google BigQuery API.Finally it’s a great book for BigQuery beginners.

The kindle version is not working on Kindle Cloud Reader …
The kindle version is not working on Kindle Cloud Reader. I only able to read from location 1 to location 719 and beyond that the contents are all unreadable and I lost interest reading this book and did not bother to read the rest of the pages (location 1429 on wards are readable). I need a refund please or send me a complete working copy. So far the readable locations gave me the information that I need but still I need a complete book.

This is not a “guide to mining massive datasets”, this is a guide to run very basic SQL queries against a high performance cloud database; basic SQL does not suddenly become “data mining” because you run it on a cloud database, or via an API. If you really need to have explained to you what “SELECT” does in a SQL statement then BigQuery might not be a good tool for you in the first place (and don’t event get me started on the so called “Advanced SQL” section).What’s left is an okay-ish step by step manual on how to create a BigQuery project and set up API access, so if you prefer spending some 20 bucks over searching for ten minutes to find the appropriate support pages this book might be for you.This book might make sense if you take the “beginner” in the title to mean “first time database users” (which would be akin to “heart surgery for first time knife users”). I mistook “beginner” to mean “BigQuery beginner” (i.e. I thought I could expand existing SQL skills into data mining), but even so, for SQL starters there is just no point to start with BigQuery. Basically any SQL manual will be more useful.
