I found this book to be a remarkably comprehensive guide. The chapters on integration with third-party tools provided deep insight and were particularly helpful. However, the section on advanced workflows seemed to lack detailed examples which could enhance understanding. Overall, a solid resource for IT professionals looking to expand their SharePoint proficiency.The sections detailing third-party integrations are meticulously crafted, offering actionable insights that are easy to implement. On the other hand, the segments on advanced workflows would benefit greatly from more granular examples. While the theoretical framework is sound, practical, step-by-step illustrations or case studies would elevate the user’s ability to apply the concepts in real-world scenarios.In summary, the book is a valuable resource, albeit with room for enhancement in demonstrating complex features through real-life applications.

SharePoint itself can be simple once you understand its basic concepts and how the related pieces fit together. That said, it can feel quite complex as you begin working within it. It is crucial to an effective implementation and future expansion to understand these foundational pieces from the beginning. I found this book to be one of the most logical approaches to understanding SharePoint that I have seen. From a "build from the ground up" perspective, there is much to be said about the way the topics are organized. I also appreciated the effective use of sample code and visual aids. Well worth adding to your catalog of references, especially if you are tasked with training someone that will be assigned even general SharePoint administration.

This book is for power users up Admins. What this book is not, a developer's guide to extending SharePoint.Bottom line up front: I would recommend this book for power Users and admins.SharePoint Online is a rapidly moving target and despite new things coming out seemingly every five minutes I thought the author did a good job of covering how we got to SharePoint Online and many of its capabilities.I learned a couple of things from the book. I will say that looking at SharePoint through the author's eyes helped me realize I had a couple of blind spots...so thank you for adding to my already heavy professional reading load!What I liked:Very clear writing with plenty of images to help keep you from wondering off the path.The author covered Content Types! Over the last several years I've seen a drastic decline of their use which is a real travesty! Viva Topics will help bring them back, I think. Can't say enough good things about the many uses for Content Types!The section on Multi-lingual content was something I knew of but hadn't had an opportunity to play with. Reading the section made me sit back and think about where I might be able to use it. We have a couple of Wiki sites that we are slowly modernizing which I think might be a good fit.Search in SharePoint/Syntex. Search can make or break a SharePoint rollout. Anyone with SharePoint experience will have heard "I can't find it" or sadly "I put it in SharePoint". The author hit pretty much every aspect of Search and its new companion Syntex (SharePoint Premium).It was missing the steps for how to create document library templates which to be fair is relatively new but can be a game changer in certain situations.Summary: Overall, the book was well put together, gave examples of how to do things from the User Interface as well as PowerShell and Graph. The author covered other tools that work with SharePoint which in my opinion are a must when writing a book about SharePoint Online.I particularly enjoyed the Power Apps and SharePoint section because we are working on a better method to help onboard new employees, so it resonated with me. I got some ideas to work on during our next planning session!I will be referring back to the book for a few things, again seeing the platform through someone else's eyes was thought provoking.I would recommend this book for power Users and admins.

This book is an excellent resource for understanding SharePoint customization, covering a wide variety of topics from basic setup to advanced automation with Power Automate. Matti provides clear, easy-to-follow examples that help simplify complex processes, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. The book also has the right amount of visuals, which definitely help in understanding and engaging with the content.It serves as a perfect primer on the expansive capabilities of SharePoint. The book excels at introducing you to the art of tweaking and personalizing your digital workspace. While it effectively outlines the basics of extending and customizing, it stops short of exploring the intricate, tech-wizard-level details.I think it's a great starting point if you're new to the game and need to get the basics down. However, if you’re looking to dive deep and want some hands-on, gritty examples to work through, you might find yourself wishing for a bit more. I would highly recommend this to beginner and intermediate users working with SharePoint Online. It contains all the information you need to know to be considered a SharePoint Online pro.
