Introducing PowerApps

In this chapter, we will look at some of the basic concepts of PowerApps at a high level, and look at where we can access the various aspects that add depth to our PowerApps. We will also look at some of the out of the box apps that are provided by PowerApps, in order to give you some good examples of what is easily achievable.

We will also look at the licensing around PowerApps so that you understand how they are charged for, as well as the levels of functionality available with each type of license. This is so you can plan for any specific licenses which you may need during the development of your apps.

Finally, we will look at the development environment, specifically the PowerApps portal and the studio, as part of the learning process is just finding out where information and components are located.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics...

The book is nicely broken up, extremely easy to follow. If you are new to Power App development I highly recommend "Microsoft PowerApps". The book also has come more advanced topics, so periodically I'm finding it useful to use it as a reference. Great book - highly recommend

Like all modern technologies there must be an element of refinement and maturity over time. This has certainly happened to the power platforms. Once the new platforms stabilise then experts and serious authors cam finally create the default training manuals for the rest of us… and I’m pleased to say that this really is the number one training manual for Power Apps.For novice and expert alike, it does a great job of taking you through the whole world of Power Apps from licensing all the way to complex, automated scenarios.Whilst it must be a said a little experience in O365 layout and navigation helps – this is not to be unexpected and shouldn’t be a negative due to Power Apps being part of the O365 Exo System.If you are looking to get into power apps or develop your power apps into advanced scenarios, then this is a must for you…This is the first “go to” Power Apps book that I have seen and by far the most comprehensive.

Much respect for the breadth of material covered, but the labs did not seem thoroughly vetted. Had to jury rig in some spots which is a good exercise in itself and overcome some incomplete explanations. That said my only real disappointment was the all too brief exploration of integrations with Azure Functions and Azure Automation.
