Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most.

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!

The author has a profound knowledge of MS Dynamics 365 and can explain the technical topics in an understandable way using examples.

GABOR J FULOP Feb 26, 2024

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 will be using this as a resource over the coming months and will update this review as soon as I can.

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.
