Office 365 for IT Pros eBook

MVP

I had a post on the Yammer network to provide news about updates to the readers of the Office 365 for IT Pros eBook (see https://thoughtsofanidlemind.com/2016/06/02/introducing-office-365-for-it-pros-third-edition-now-ava...), so I'll create one here.

 

The latest update for the book is now dated July 20. The EDF and EPUB formats are available online now and the updated Kindle version will be available in Amazon soon.

Thanks to all who support us in this effort to document what's happening inside Office 365.

The writing team is going to be together at IT/DEV Connections in Las Vegas this week, but before we all got onto airplanes for the long flights to Sin City, we managed to push out another update for Office 365 for IT Pros. See the change log for details: https://thoughtsofanidlemind.com/2016/06/09/office-365-for-it-pros-3rd-edition-list-of-updates-appli...

Now that we have had time to digest some of the material that Microsoft shared at Ignite, we have created another update. The new date for the book is 17 October 2016. See http://wp.me/pSH8B-1kg for details about the changes.

Tony, thank you. By the way, are you updating Exchange Server Troubleshooting Companion?

There's a plan to refresh the Exchange troubleshooting book. However, it's all a matter of time. If we have it, we can update the book. If not, we won't.

Office 365: Microsoft doesn't seem to be able to publish the oft-promised Microsoft Office 365 Administration Inside Out book, but the best-selling Office 365 for IT Pros ebook continues to be updated on a weekly basis. https://thoughtsofanidlemind.com/2016/12/04/office365-books-updates/

We have now applied a total of 160 chapter updates since the 3rd edition was published in June 2016. Over 130 pages of new text (net - we have cut a lot of obsolete material too) have been added. It's a project that has taken on a life of its own...

This exercise interested me, so I did it. I was wondering where the effort went in updating the Office 365 for IT Pros eBook since we released the 3rd edition in June. Here's the breakdown by chapter...

Hi Tony
Great work as always. However as I bought direct from your Exchange Server pro site, there is no clear link on practical365.com to get the update and access your account. After a bit of URL fiddling I found it:
https://store.exchangeserverpro.com and then you log in to get the update. Thanks!

cheers
Andrew
