Tag: Tutorial

I like to make tutorials a lot because it’s a fantastic way to learn. Usually, I try to focus any tutorial focused on a specific problem or topic. You can find items for advanced users as well as beginners. I’ll try to make any tutorial as straightforward as possible, but always explaining the concepts behind it. Some also have videos so that you can see things in action. I won’t focus on just Microsoft technologies (Flow, SharePoint, or PowerApps), so you can expect tutorials for privacy, for example.

These posts will be somewhat sporadic since there’s not always things to publish. Depending on the subject I’ll either post them on the Tuesday and Friday schedule if they fit the theme or, I’ll give you an extra article(s) that week for your enjoyment.
