If you want to learn about Confluence, this is a book you should definitely buy. Great book!

Liked the way content is presented. Step by step explanations.Enjoyed reading the book.

I bought this as an aid due to upper management deciding that "a change" was needed in how us peons reported to our betters and implimented Confluence. The book is full of information, but could be stated a bit clearer. It may be that as us peons become more familiar with Confluence, this book will increase in relevence. If so, I will update.

As someone who has navigated the complex pathways of Confluence at Atlassian, I found this book to be a trustworthy guide in demystifying the tool's capabilities.The book strikes a balance between offering practical tips and understanding the evolution of an organization's informational needs. It resonates deeply with my experience, where Confluence was pivotal in organizing everything from 1-1 meetings to comprehensive technical documentation. Kalelioğlu effectively showcases how Confluence can grow with your organization, adapting to increased demands and complexity. This aspect is crucial for any growing enterprise seeking to maintain a coherent and accessible knowledge base.What sets this book apart is its ability to weave a narrative around Confluence's role in a distributed enterprise environment.

I've recently sat and achieved my APB-220 Confluence Space Admin badge, but found it was really difficult finding clear concise study materials. It took a few attempts but I finally managed to pass through trial and error.There is a decent Udemy course, a couple of YouTube Channels and then the "great unknown" of Atlassian documentation and Community articles, but nothing really felt targeted and in-depth.I haven't finished reading this book yet but so far I'm very impressed. The topics are broad, deep and well structured - just the way Confluence should be set up!The language used is easy to follow and includes easy to follow examples. In my attempts to pass the APB-220 I found it nearly impossible to find easy-to-understand breakdowns of macros, their functionality and use cases - this book delivers big time in this space.With updates coming thick and fast for Confluence I had concerns that a book would be too static to keep up with the required knowledge to run Confluence, but the foundations and fundamentals are covered in such detail that this book will be useful for decades to come (unless Atlassian/Confluence get acquired and the whole thing gets re-written!)In short, this book is a must have for Confluence Admins, Consultants and enthusiasts.

This is a wide-ranging and nicely up-to-date book about Confluence.It's written for people who want to know how Confluence can help their teams work better at a business level. The author runs an Atlassian consulting business, and the book feels exactly like what could be given to prospective customers to help them get started. "Why a book?" you might ask. It turns out that books are still a good way to collect the information about different aspects of a topic. The videos can come later anyway.Confluence Cloud is the platform discussed, not Data Center, which is fair given that this is where Atlassian is heading. I wanted more details of troubleshooting and tips, but that's not the intent of this book. There are plenty of links to places to find that information.The quality of the writing and editing is excellent, as are the many screenshots and the index. I also liked the Q&A format at the end of each chapter.One interesting note is that I found the word "wiki" used only once. Which seens to match the use of the word on Atlassian's website these days.
