Recently I read the book Salesforce for Beginners written by Sharif Shallan and Timothy Royer. The book covers almost all core concepts that every Salesforce professional needs to learn/understand.
The book gives you a thorough introduction to Salesforce. It takes a practical and essential approach, making it an excellent guide for beginners. The book also includes a few chapters that are significantly more challenging near the end, providing you with a solid foundation to study and explore more.”
New in the 2nd edition, is a deep dive into Flows, which is a great addition and worth the time to read. I found this section of the book to be very valuable and will refer to this in the future.
