In today's fast-paced world, more and more organizations require rapid application development with reduced development costs and increased productivity. This practical guide shows application developers how to use PowerApps, Microsoft's no-code/low-code application framework that helps developers speed up development, modernize business processes, and solve tough challenges.

Author Arpit Shrivastava provides a comprehensive overview of designing and building cost-effective applications with Microsoft Power Apps. You'll learn fundamental concepts behind low-code and no-code development, how to build applications using pre-built and blank templates, how to design an app using Copilot AI and drag and drop PowerPoint-like controls, use Excel-like expressions to write business logic for an app, and integrate apps with external data sources.

With this book, you'll:

Learn the importance of no-code/low-code application development
Design mobile/tablet (canvas apps) applications using pre-built and blank templates
Design web applications (model-driven apps) using low-code, no-code, and pro-code components
Integrate PowerApps with external applications
Learn basic coding concepts like jаvascript, Power Fx, and C#
Apply best practices to customize Dynamics 365 CE applications
Dive into Azure DevOps and ALM concepts to automate application deployment

Who This Book Is For:
By reading this book, both technical and nontechnical folks can begin developing mobile, tablet, and web applications using many of the Power Apps built-in capabilities. This book covers both the features of canvas apps and the components of model-driven apps to provide a thorough understanding of Power Apps.

Nontechnical folks, those who are not programmers but have a need to develop apps (such as functional consultants, presalespeople, business analysts, and so on), will learn how to quickly build an app using Power Apps’ built-in features so that you can immediately show your customers what Power Apps can do. Once you understand the basics, you are introduced to more advanced topics.

Technical folks (such as full stack developers, solution architects, and so on) will learn how to quickly put together an app, but also extend the app’s functionality by connecting it to external data sources, developing custom components, writing jаvascript and C# code, using Web APIs, and so on.

You don’t need to have any prior knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform to get the most value out of this book. However, because you’ll be working with a variety of Microsoft products as we build our apps, it’s recommended that you have a basic understanding of Microsoft Power Apps, and the Microsoft 365 apps Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint, etc., because Power Apps uses Excel-like formulas to write business logic and drag-and-drop controls similar to PowerPoint to design the app.
