Slack's [new version](https://slackhq.com/simpler-more-organized-slack?ref=philsimon.com) is dropping today.

In a word, it's awesome.

As I write in [*Slack For Dummies*](https://amzn.to/2AQjlMM?ref=philsimon.com), Slack's new and streamlined user interface is slick and intuitive. Brass tacks: Existing users will pick it up immediately and newbies will be able to quickly find valuable but lesser-used features. In other words, this is no [Windows 8 debacle](https://www.computerworld.com/article/2486175/with-windows-8-1--microsoft-seeks-redemption-of-bold--flawed-os-redesign.html?ref=philsimon.com).

Yeah, it took quite a bit of work, but *Slack For Dummies* reflects the current version, not its predecessor. I'm particularly excited about the ability to organize channels and other content.
