Power Apps - Intermediate

Course Overview - 1 – Day Course

Become a Citizen Developer
Power Apps is the go-to tool to use when it comes to mobile application development. Described as
the “citizen application development platform”, it allows anyone and everyone to build their own app
without having to be a professional app developer or coder. The point-and-click approach to building
makes it foolproof, and anyone can successfully make their own app, from the CEO to the factory
floor worker. Users can choose from templates and go on to customise them, or build their own apps
straight from a blank canvas. Once built, apps can be easily published to the web, iOS, Android and
Windows 10.
