Event description

If you are experienced in Canvas and Model-driven applications and looking to take the next step, our 4-day Advanced Power Apps Bootcamp is for you. This comprehensive course will dive deeper into both the Canvas app ecosystem and Dataverse, exploring the more robust and advanced features of each. You'll begin with a quick review of the basics and quickly progress to building advanced solutions. For Canvas apps, you'll learn to use variables, set up security, handle delegation issues, monitor apps, and work with advanced Power FX functions, while also mastering UI best practices and advanced component construction. On the Model Driven side, you'll take a deep dive into building sophisticated apps, learning to fully leverage the Dataverse. Whether you’re focused on Canvas or Model Driven apps, this bootcamp will equip you with the skills to create powerful, reusable applications without the long, arduous processes traditionally reserved for IT professionals. This bootcamp is also available to purchase in 2-day blocks. You can find those listed on our our bootcamps page of our website.

Prerequisites

This class targets developers, analysts, or end-users looking to take their current canvas app skills to the next level. This course requires a solid foundation in creating canvas applications to maximize your learning and successfully navigate the complexities of advanced topics. Knowledge of simple canvas apps, using common controls (e.g. text inputs, galleries, forms, buttons), and working with the PowerFX language is highly recommended. Also, this course is designed as an advanced level course for developing model-driven applications, setting up security for your model-driven applications, creating flows, modifying design, and more. Before taking this course, it is recommended that you know Dataverse and model-driven applications, have had training on creating basic model-driven applications, or have made model-driven applications on your own.
