Category: Power Apps

Power Apps is a platform that looks complex and difficult to learn, but it’s quite the opposite. It provides a simple and straightforward interface that allows you to do advanced apps quite efficiently. I write these articles with step-by-step tutorials to teach you how to build your apps in Power Apps. Once you understand these concepts, you will be able to, develop, and provide rich apps platforms with not a lot of work. You can even, automatically, offer these for mobile usage, desktop, and even web. If you’re a pro, I’m sure you can find something useful and learn something.
Articles will come on Tuesdays at 7 pm once every three weeks since I’m publishing at the same timeline articles about SharePoint and Power Automate. Reference Articles will be published every Friday at 7 pm also every three weeks.
