James' book is a really good way of ramping up on Azure Web Sites (WAWS). It covers a lot of ground without going on-and-on for hundreds of pages. It covers both beginner topics and more advanced ones. Naturally, with a platform that evolves as rapidly as Azure, things are bound to be somewhat outdated as time goes by, but most of the content will always be relevant. I thing this book is a must have for anyone dealing with Azure Web Sites.
