Microsoft Power Apps provides a modern approach to building low-code business applications for mobiles, tablets, browsers, and Microsoft Teams. The second edition of Learn Microsoft Power Apps will guide you in creating well designed and secure apps that transform old processes and workflows.
Learn Microsoft Power Apps starts with an introduction to Power Apps to help you feel comfortable with the creation experience. Using screenshots from the latest UI, you will be guided through how to create an app, building your confidence to start developing further. This book will help you design, set up, and configure your first application by writing simple formulas. You'll learn about the different types of apps you can build in Power Apps and which one applies best to your requirements.
In addition to this, you'll learn how to identify the right data storage system for you, with new chapters covering how to integrate apps with SharePoint or Dataverse.

Finally, you will be introduced to the emerging Power Apps Copilot tool, which uses artificial intelligence to accelerate the app building process.
By the end of this Power Apps book, you'll be ready to confidently develop lightweight business applications with minimal code.
