📕 Why (Not) to read this book (Target Audience)

Good starting point when looking into Dynamics when moving beyond power apps,

👀 How this book changed my daily live (Takeaways)

One very important aspect of sandbox instances is the fact that, while functionality is maintained on a par with production instances, the database is completely isolated from production.

⁉ Spoiler Alerts (Highlights)

The solution package is a container for all customizations. This packaging method allows customizers to export customizations and reimport them into other environments, as well as group-specific sets of customizations by business functionality or project cycle. Managing solutions is an aspect that should not be taken lightly because, down the road, a properly designed solution packaging model can help a lot or create difficulties.

Most chapters contain only enumerations of basic features, descriptions of screenshots and links to the official documentation.
Very shallow and definitely not a recommend read.
