I got a copy of Eickhel Mendoza's second edition of his Microsoft Power Apps Cookbook book a couple of weeks ago, and this book is great. It covers all of the key components within the Power Platform, and gives great overviews of the Canvas and Model Driven Apps, Power Automate (including modularization techniques), Power Pages, and more.For any of you that just want to tinker around with the Power Platform, then this is a great start.

I like this book - both because of its content - but also because it clarified my understanding of the power platform - very relevant especially in the post GPT world.I read a lot of books - but few cause me to change my technical strategy in a big way. This book did.My hypothesis was that the worlds of LLMs and low code would come together. Hence, my interest in understanding #lowcodeThe book itself was interesting because while I explored it for low code (which included the AI builder product) - I realised that the Power apps / Power platform is now a full fledged development platform. In other words, I saw it as a Business intelligence platform (based on its origins) - much like Cognos or Business Objects. But the power platform has evolved far beyond the BI roots and I think with LLMs it will play a key role going forward. That's what I mean by it clarified my strategyThe cookbook format is easy to follow but also very comprehensive
