What is Power Apps?
Power Apps is a tool created by Microsoft that enables users to create useful applications quickly, without needing to know how to code. Since it allows non-programmers to create applications, it has quickly become one of the most popular frameworks for creating apps that improve business efficiency.
Why Power Apps?
It’s Microsoft: Since Power Apps was built by Microsoft, it has a familiar and intuitive interface for anyone that has used Office products like Excel or Word
Easy to Learn: Power Apps is a low code framework, which means you can create sophisticated applications using a simple drag and drop environment
Rapid Application Development (RAD): Power Apps allows you to create applications in a fraction of the time it would take using other popular frameworks like React or Angular
Valuable Skill: This highly sought after skill will make you an attractive candidate for a job or could even help you get a raise in your current role
Cross Platform: Power Apps can run on any device, Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, or iOS, so you don’t have to worry about building out several different versions of your apps
Connect to any data source: Whether you prefer Excel, SQL Server, Google Sheets, or PostgreSQL, Power Apps has you covered with built in connections to almost any data source
