All the chapters are full of very simple step-by-step instructions and help us understand how to use them and are full of the important/critical scenarios that we use in our daily activities. For me, I enjoy this kind of book because it is something like hands-on labs where we learn by doing instead of just cover about the theory! Great job and love it so much, Aaron!" -- Temmy Wahyu Raharjo, Microsoft MVP, Dynamics CRM Technical Consultant "If you are starting on the journey of learning Power Automate, this is a great book. The hands-on labs are clear and concise. I like visuals when I read technical books, and this book doesn't fail me. Some of the questions that I have in mind while reading it has been answered in the book as if I am having a conversation with the author." -- Mary Angiela Cerbolles Microsoft MVP (Business Applications, M365 Apps & Services) "As someone who works in the Power Platform extensively, it was great to see how Aaron was able to break down many common scenarios that are easy to follow and implement by someone who is not an expert in the field." -- Haniel Croitoru, Microsoft MVP, Associate Director & Power Platform Practice Lead at Protiviti "This book will allow you to learn everything you need to know about the subject if you are a beginner, but also works as a support to keep at hand. For my part, I don't hesitate to look up what interests me directly and reread the appropriate chapter. Adding a part on AI Builder was a good idea!" -
