This book does a great job going into the details surrounding Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Power Platform, and CoPilot in M365 and the Power Platform. The pacing of the book stands out as it begins with discussing the platform(s), interfaces, and key words and then dives into configuration, permissions, etc.

This book makes it easy to find and perform common tasks in SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams with some Copilot and power automate content added in as well.The recipe concept is great with each entry broken down into “Getting Ready”, “How to do it”, and “How it works” it’s an excellent go to reference to get additional info on configurations and I really appreciate they that take the time to explain why why’s and just not the how’s as so often is the case.This will definitely.l stay on my reference shelf for all future SharePoint projects!!

Here are some key takeaways from the book that blew me away:Microsoft 365 Ecosystem Overview: The book begins with a thorough overview of the ecosystem, highlighting the incredible capabilities of SharePoint. From creating sites and managing documents with ease to adding applications, creating subsites, and organizing everything through lists and libraries, SharePoint truly allows you to build your own mini-universe.Advanced Use of OneDrive and Teams: I learned advanced techniques for leveraging OneDrive and Teams.

I've read many "cookbook" style books in the past only to be left less than satisfied with lack of real content. Sure, you can put together step-by-step instructions as a "recipe", but they don't offer much beyond simply following instructions.This book differs because it tells you about the feature first, why it is used and why it is important. Then you work through an exercise to implement the feature. Finally, the all important summarization of what you did, how you did it, and why you did it, completes the actual learning process.Highly recommended.
