It was an easy read that is mostly tutorials.
Easy read that is mostly tutorials. I am a software engineer and enjoyed this book as a quick 30 minute review on Microsoft Flow. I used this to become familiar with Microsoft Flow before I started developing connectors for it.

Waste of Money and Time
I normally don’t write reviews but this one made me do so because I feel others should not feel cheated after buying this book. This book contains explanation of Flow in very basic form which anyone can get from the flow website. On top of that the examples are totally copied from the templates already available on flow website. You will not find anything new. Its 232 pages book and i have completed reading first 100 pages in just one hour because 80% of the pages are filled with very bad quality pictures copy pasted from the flow website. I don’t even like the quality of the printing. I don’t understand how @Apress has taken consideration to publish it. My expectation was to get deep down knowledge of Flows and how it works with some real life examples rather then just twitter, facebook or Sharepoint examples which are not at all valid in real professional environment.Buy it if you really have extra money and time.

Poor Quality
This book doesn’t provide any details, just basic statements. Found blogs on the Internet that were much more helpful. Wish I had seen the other reviews before purchasing the book.

Really bad. Basic and on internet for free
Really bad. On the internet for free. This is basic do not buy this one. Thought it was more in dept.

Very Basic and Unhelpful
Just as the previous reviewer said. The book is basically cut and pasted from the Microsoft Flow website. This makes me very dubious of the publisher’s other books. Very poor quality control.

Wishing I had seen the first review before purchasing this book. If you desperately need a series of simple walkthroughs in producing example flows then you may have some use for this book but otherwise it’s really poor. Technically the book is around 200 pages but that’s almost entirely screenshots with one line descriptions associated with them. Five pages just to show how to log in to the Flow mobile app? Really?There’s nothing here that you can’t get by looking at online tutorials and in essence the book feels like someone has just put a collection of online walkthroughs into book format and then taken out most of the explanations.About the only good thing about this book is that you’ll get through it quickly if you bother finishing it. There’s so little context given, so little detail or description. I’m sure the author knows his Microsoft Flows…but he doesn’t know how to write an informative book and the editors should be ashamed of themselves.

This book provides you a good and comprehensive introduction into MS Flow.It provides a good start to MS Flow especially if you have not used it before.Includes several good and easy to follow examples.

Geschrieben wie eine (lieblose) Bedienungsanleitung mit fast ausschlieÃlich Screenshots auf “Call-Center”-Niveau. Beispiel: “Go to the If no action and click Add an action. Type the keyword sharepoint in the search text box and then click SharePoint-Update item action, as shown in Figure …” Es folgt ein Screenshot. Null Erklärung, warum man was machen muss (Seite 125 ist eine Ausnahme), weil Daten eben dort rumliegen und man den Zugriff braucht. Blöd, dass schon das erste Beispiel bei mir nicht funktioniert, weil man einen Twitter-Account nutzen soll, um auf Facebook irgendwas automatisch zu posten. Es fehlt komplett eine Erklärung der Struktur von FLOW und wie sich FLOW im SharePoint-Universum eingliedert.Also da kann man auch mit Trial and Error sich durchkämpfen und nebenbei im Internet lesen. Und dafür 30 â¬? Schade um das Papier und die armen Bäume unseres Planeten. Da muss man ja schon die ethische Verantwortung des Verlegers hinterfragen.

All I learned from purchasing this book was to be sure to read other customer reviews before purchasing. It’s just a narrated walk through of the on-line tutorials that anyone with Flow can already enjoy for free. No deeper analysis, code snippets, explanation of parameters for connectors etc. In a word, ‘rubbish’.I purchased this for £27, a day or so later it’s discounted to around £20. It should be free on Kindle and perhaps a couple of pounds if someone is desperate for a paper copy for the book shelf, or as winter is coming for the wood burner perhaps.My copy is on its way back to Amazon for a refund.

This book explains nothing that isn’t in the user interface for Flow and/or in the online documentation. A complete waste of money unless you like out dated screenshots.
