Why "Power Automate Essentials"? Diving into Power Automate, I found myself walking a path many might relate to - a journey of discovery, often feeling like assembling a puzzle with scattered pieces. While the foundation blocks of triggers, actions, and connectors were the starting points, it quickly became apparent that the real essence of Power Automate extended beyond these basics. During my study, the need for a deeper hold of elements like oData queries, expressions, and the details of dynamic content became paramount. Navigating through variables and understanding when to employ conditions, loops, and parallelism weren't just advanced features but core aspects to unlock Power Automate's full potential. Especially when working with platforms like Dataverse, SharePoint, and OneDrive, the need for an in-depth understanding is beneficial and essential. It often made me wonder: What if someone had paved this path before me? What if a guide equipped learners immediately, offering them a tool and the craft of wielding it effectively? And hence, the vision for "Power Automate Essentials" was born. I want this book to serve as a compass for learners.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A passionate call to arms against our era’s most pervasive human rights violation—the oppression of women and girls in the developing world. From the bestselling authors of Tightrope, two of our most fiercely moral voices With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope. They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS. Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women’s potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population. Countries such as China have prospered precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing to do; it’s also the best strategy for fighting poverty. Deeply felt, pragmatic, and inspirational, Half the Sky is essential reading for every global citizen.
