ISBN 978-1-83921-725-8 www.packt.com To the memory of my mother, Wendy Foulkes, an expert computer trainer from whom I had the privilege of learning and working. Her passion for end user training was infectious and instilled in me life-long skills of patience, dedication, determination, and confidence. If her life were not taken away so early, we would be coauthoring many books together, but I know that she is proud looking down from above. To my three sons, Chris, JJ, and Matt, as a reminder that you only have one chance at your unique life. Use this valuable gift surrounded by family, love, and a focused passion to move forward through it with contentment. Give yourself a shake as you hit any of life's obstacles, regain a positive outlook, and continue to be the best unique you. You are my everything.

I would like to acknowledge the Packt staff, who have displayed nothing but professionalism, coupled with a supportive and collaborative work ethic throughout the various stages of this book. In particular, Karan Gupta (Acquisition Editor), with whom it has been an absolute pleasure working. Karan, thank you for initiating the first contact and going the extra mile for me with professional care to detail and making sure everything was running smoothly across different time zones, being available 24/7; and to Ruvika Rao (Content Development Editor), who has been my right-hand woman, hot on my heels supporting and keeping me in check. Your work ethic is impeccable and I have thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with you. I would also like to thank Prajakta Naik, Richa Tripathi, Aaron Lazar, and my reviewers, Ambarish Tarte and Omprakash Pandey, for their valuable input. About the reviewers Ambarish Tarte is a Mumbai-based Microsoft Certified Professional and a globetrotter who conducts corporate training for various corporate giants/multinational companies across the globe. With MS Office and Office 365 end user apps being his forte, he operates as a corporate training consultant with a team of associates in almost every major city. He began his corporate training stint in 2011 and has had the privilege of training delegates of over 20 nationalities in classroom and online sessions. Being able to add a bit of humor and always keep participants active during training is a unique selling point that Ambarish has developed over the years. Ambarish is also a YouTuber and runs various social media pages. I thank my parents for their continued support during my stint so far as a corporate training consultant. Quitting a full-time job and moving into freelancing requires support from family, and my parents left no stone unturned in doing so. I would also like to thank Mr. Saiesh G Tripathi, my colleague, for his inputs. Thanks to Ms. Pooja Vaishnav, my protégé, for the initial screening of the chapters in this book. Omprakash Pandey, a Microsoft 365 Consultant, has been working with industry experts to understand project requirements and work on the implementation of projects for the last 20 years. He has trained more than 50,000 aspiring developers and assisted in the development of more than 50 enterprise applications, which have been his key achievements. He has offered innovative solutions on .NET development, Microsoft Azure, and other technologies. He has worked for multiple clients across various locations including Hexaware, Accenture, Infosys, and many more. He has been a Microsoft Certified Trainer for more than 5 years. I want to thank my parents and colleagues, Ashish and Francy, for their assistance and support.
