Power Fx Deep Dive: From Novice to Ninja!

Step into the transformative world of Power Fx, the backbone of Microsoft's low-code business applications platform. At this all-day workshop, attendees will not just dabble but dive deep into the nooks and crannies of this Excel-like language, mastering its capabilities, nuances, and potential.

Power Fx is used across the entire Power Platform, meaning it's vital for developers to understand the foundational elements of the language and see how this can be applied in real-world scenarios. During this all-day workshop, we'll see how Power Fx can be used within Canvas Power Apps and as part of model-driven Power Apps, plug-ins and Power Virtual Agents chatbots. Attendees will learn from various hands-on activities and demos, better understanding the common pitfalls and how to sidestep them in a project.

In a world where digital transformations are taking centre stage, and the line between developer and non-developer continues to blur, our workshop suits both new and experienced attendees. It will provide a forum for active participation, ensuring that every attendee is more than just a spectator. Join us in exploring and unlocking the massive potential of Power Fx!

Designing Beautiful Apps for Functional Makers: A Masterclass in Fusing Power Apps Capabilities

In the beginning, there were two Power App types - canvas and model-driven. And everything was good...well, kind of. Creating visually compelling apps was still incredibly challenging, often requiring the skills of a front-end developer and a whole bunch of HTML / CSS to make things look pretty. Today, we are a lot more fortunate. With extraordinary capabilities such as custom pages, the division between apps is slowly disappearing. But, the challenge of easily embedding canvas apps into model-driven apps still exists. So how can we, as makers, go from building typically functional solutions to something that can impress our colleagues, users and clients? And can this all be done in a nice, efficient, low-code way?

Join us for this all-day workshop as our technical and design experts show you the art of the possible and why bringing canvas and model-driven together is so effective. You'll discover some of the latest innovations available in the platform, see how easy it is to work with them and also work through a series of lab exercises where you can put what you learnt to practice and walk away with your very own functional and feature-rich application, that blends all of the platform capabilities in an interesting way. If you are proficient in building simple applications and want to bring your skills to the next level, this workshop is for you!

Key takeaways from the workshop:

- Learn how to build responsive and functional applications
- Learn how to integrate and embed Power Apps custom pages in model-driven apps
- Learn how to extend functionality in model-driven apps by utilizing custom pages
- Learn more about how to utilize HTML
