Tag: Fundamentals

Knowledge is like a house. First, you build strong foundations and then go up. I know this looks like a cliché, but it’s true. Fundamentals make for good professionals.
In this section, I’ll work on bringing you the fundamentals of each technology. From small details that make all the difference to big things, you can expect a mix of items. I’ll focus on technology, mainly the Power Platform, but I can write about other stuff I find interesting.

If you don’t agree with some of the concepts or want me to focus on them, please get in touch. I want feedback, and you can always reach me by email or Twitter.
