From the Publisher
Learn through recipes
Utilizing the much-loved culinary format, Microsoft Power Apps Cookbook is written with the belief that the best way to learn is through practice. Every chapter is packed with recipes to practice building apps, connecting to data sources, and much more.
In the third edition of Microsoft Power Apps Cookbook, you will find a new base chapter for basic tasks (shown left), getting you prepared to cook with Power Apps, Dataverse, and SharePoint right away. As you progress to more advanced recipes, you will build on what you learn in the base chapter, allowing advanced recipes to be concise and simple.
Stay up-to-date
Keeping up-to-date with the latest changes from Microsoft isn’t easy – user interfaces change, features change, and versions and compatibility change. This third edition has been written using the latest screenshots available, so you’ll have the easiest time following along and finding the options you need.
What’s more, as Microsoft Copilot (shown right) enters the scene, there is a new opportunity to leverage AI in app creation. But where is it most useful, and not just buzz? This edition will teach you Copilot practically by showing how to make use of Copilot for creating data structures and gathering data insights.
Improve user experience
A key challenge in app creation is to make appealing user interfaces that are easy to interact with. This book will teach you how to build UIs in Power Apps from scratch, progressing into adding custom connectors, maps, and even mixed reality into your apps. With practicality in mind, you’ll learn how to make your UIs work on mobile, Edge, Chrome, SharePoint, Teams, and more.
But user experience doesn’t stop there – for apps to be adopted, their functionality has to be convenient and consistent. Microsoft Power Apps Cookbook helps you pick the right data sources to keep your apps performant, as well as showing you how to build a convenient password manager for your application.
