Ғылым және технология
This is a step-by -step Power Apps tutorial for beginners, taking you through the whole process of creating your first app. No background in coding or app making is required to get started with this low-code app building. This tutorial makes the technology simple and clear to understand. It is full of tips and advice throughout that you'll need to know to start making great apps.
You will learn how to create your first app in under 5 minutes, with just 3 clicks (connected to your own data source such as SharePoint, Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365).

I consider myself lucky that I came across this channel . The way you explain the subject matter is structured, easy and simple to understand. you cover complex bits as well in very small amount of time. Language is lucid. Keep up the good work. Channel deserves to have more subscribers. Thanks for all your efforts to educate us.

@@LisaCrosbie Quick question. We already use a Low-Code platform that is built on top of a SQL Server database so our data-model already exists. Would you recommend building canvas apps on top of this already existing data model using the SQL Server connector or rebuild the model in Dataverse and use a model-driven approach? Let me also add that I am a SQL Developer with some front end web dev experience and our apps need to be mostly mobile. Thanks!

Hi Lisa..Your videos are always helpful! Can you suggest, Is it okay to use power app for customizing SharePoint forms if I have just taken trial of power app for 1 month for form customization, later I wont be able to update any changes in that form if required, as trial version will end. We are not going to buy power app license .Also after using power app & going back to Default form it is also rolling back all the formatting done tooltip etc.

Once your trial ends you won't be able to continue using anything you built in the trial. However, you should be able to do what you describe with the Power Apps capability included in your Office 365 license.

Hello, thanks for the tutorial. I have a small question: what will happen if I add in the EditScreen a new entry? - Will my data source have the added entry? (in the example the entries you show on the app screen were selected from the DB entries. I would like to add more entries for my DB. Is it possible to extend my DB entries by adding a new entry on the power app?)
@LisaCrosbie
2 жыл бұрын
Yes, the EditScreen in this sample app uses an Edit Form, which can be used both for editing or adding new entries to your data source. If you click on the + icon in the top right of the browse screen it will take you to that form to add a new entry. You should see the new entry in your DB when you submit that form.

I understand that power apps remain in the environment of the organization that creates them (usually), but can you please explain a workable method for when you are an independent contractor/consultant who wants to build and test power platform solutions for clients in your own (development) environment and when ready for production, 'export/import' the solution to the client's organization, all understanding that the client will need the appropriate licences of course.
@LisaCrosbie

The simplest way is to export it as a zip file and then install that solution for the client you are working for. If you want to have it up for anyone to find and buy, the official channel is Microsoft App Source, but there are a lot of prerequisites to getting solutions up there.
