🌐 Virtual Event
Event description
Creating applications no longer has to be a long, arduous process reserved exclusively for those in IT. With Power Apps you can build beautifully designed applications and solutions on your own, providing instant satisfaction to your needs. This course takes a deep-dive into the Power Apps ecosystem, showing all three application types: canvas, model-driven, and portal application solutions. The class starts at canvas application basics and quickly dives into more complex solutions. The solutions we build will be built upon DataVerse but the same lessons work on other data platforms like SharePoint or SQL Server. You’ll learn to create collections, variables, and best practices on using the Power Apps programming language. You’ll also learn UI best practices for engaging users and more advanced component construction for reusability. Later in the class, you’ll learn how to build model-driven apps on Dataverse for different use cases and Portal applications to interact with anonymous users. Pragmatic Works bootcamps include interactive, hands-on labs that let you apply what you’re learning in real time. With expert instructors available for guidance and support, you’ll build skills by doing—not just watching.
Prerequisites
This class is targeted at developers, analysts, or end-users looking to design their own line of business applications and solutions in Power Apps.
