I'm a Microsoft MVP from Germany, working for ORBIS SE. There I've got the chance to work with Dynamics 365 right from the beginning (back then Microsoft CRM v1.2). Beeing focused on the ProDev aspects of the Power Platform, I'm enthusiatic about Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) development. You can call me PCFLady. You can find me answering questions in the "Power Apps Pro Dev & ISV" Forum, blogging on my "Dianamics" blog site (dianabirkelbach.wordpress.com), sharing videos on youtube (youtube.com/@pcflady) and free PCF controls on https://pcf.gallery/ ;.

Vibe code your Power Apps UI like a pro (coder)
"Pro coder was yesterday" or "We don't need developer anymore". In the AI times, generative coding is taking over, and you probably heard this kind of thesis somewhere. Do you think that too?
It's true that the developer role shifts, and developing Power Apps is not an exception. But let me show you, why a developer can make a difference, even if the code is generated.
We'll consider the UI of the Power Apps: from PCFs to Generative Pages and Code Apps. In each of them we can generate code until a certain level. The starting point is different. And in each of them we'll probably need a developer at one point.
PCF: where do we need them? And how can we use generative features?
Generative Pages: we'll cover the basics and see a lot of examples and go into advanced usage: from Model-Driven Apps Theming, using Fluent UI 9, how to deal with needed controls, solving issues and modify the code.
Code Apps are awesome too, and we have a huge start up booster: GitHub Spark. And then GitHub Copilot speeds up everything.
Let's explore them together!
Your takeaway:
- Generative Pages are a huge booster, democratizing the app development, but for some parts a pro coder will make a difference
- Generative Coding with Code Apps & GitHub Spark and PCF with GitHub Copilot will help the developer to be much more productive
- Generative code tools are there to improve the work of developers
Build your Company Own (PCF) Gallery with Power Catalog
Power Catalog is the solution your company is looking for to organize the components. It is not only a platform for PCFs, but PCFs are a good example on how to use it.
Maybe your organization is using some PCFs from pcf.gallery, which is a great source of code components provided by the community. But you need a review process for those components, and I'll reveal the steps which could help you there. Or maybe you and your colleagues are developing your own PCFs too. How can you let the other makers know what you've built?
How to handle all this sources? Your organization needs a review process, a source where the makers can find all the components, their documentation and installation packages. And Power Catalog is the answer.
Join me in this session where we will uncover Catalog for Power Platform. You'll learn the basics of Power Catalog: from installation, administration, component submission and how to consume them from there, on the example of PCFs.
But Catalog is not only a tool for code components. It can be used for low-code too and we'll uncover this too.
