I really enjoyed this book! It encourages everyone to explore Power Platform in it's intersection with F&O. I appreciated the clear explanations and relatable examples and I would have loved to see even more more use-case scenarios. If you’re part of the D365 ecosystem, grab this book—it’s packed with valuable content!

I was excited to hear about this book and am impressed with the Table of Contents. I have some experience leveraging PP with D365 FO and it seems like this book covers all related critical topics.

I’ve been working with F&O since the first SaaS version, and with Power Platform since 2019. I view primarily through a user-focused lens, and I’d definitely recommend this book to both functional and technical users interested in extending the functionality of D365 F&O.The book starts with a solid introduction to all components, ensuring freshers are brought up to speed, whilst aligning understanding for the more experienced among us.Part 1 concludes with a chapter covering deployment and configuration. It does so in sufficient detail to make it easy to follow, with relevant screenshots, and important considerations clearly highlighted out in callout boxes. Later on, Part 4 does a great job of building on this area, exploring the necessary elements of Applicated Lifecycle Management, i.e. keeping the lights on!Some users may be tempted to skip past these sections for the “good stuff” in Part 2, but it’s important background knowledge to understand or consolidate. Even if you’re not involved in these aspects of deployment, it will always help if, for example, you need to signpost system administrators to fix underlying configuration.As alluded to, Parts 2 and 3 are where the exciting bits happen, especially for those of us that really enjoy fixing our customer’s challenges – seeing the smiles on their faces when (i) you tell them that you can fix a problem they have, and (ii) when they see that fix working for real!Adrià gives us some great practical examples, all detailed step-by-step, and covering use cases such as augmenting workflow approvals; embedding Power Apps; and applying custom AI models. There is lots of food for thought, and the selected examples offer a great baseline for solving other problems in equally creative ways.--Generally, the content is well broken down, with plentiful screenshots, code boxes, lists, and callouts. The author avoids extensive prose and maintains an approach throughout that us easily digestible to the modern reader. There are a couple of proofreading errors – I spotted maybe one every 15 pages or so – but I do have a keen eye for that sort of thing. The important thing is that this does not detract from the content itself.The test your knowledge sections struck the right balance between consolidating knowledge and making you feel like you haven’t been listening.The risk with anything MS-related in print is their penchant for frequent name changes. Case in point, Virtual Agents has already been renamed Copilot Studio since publication. Hopefully there aren’t too many such changes to come.To wrap up, I would reiterate that this book is invaluable for those starting out or those looking for a prompt on how to approach certain challenges. Although much of the content can inevitably be found online with a lot of digging around, the structure makes it a very handy reference guide and especially in print, it provides a welcome break from the screens we are all otherwise glued to, day in, day out.All F&O consultants need to learn Power Platform – for a long time it has not been the sole preserve of CE consultants and as Microsoft’s road map ticks on, it will gain more and more precedence.TL;DR? This is a well-structured book, with accurate and relevant content, presented clearly and concisely. Highly recommended for any D365 F&O user with an interest in customisation.
