This course will teach you the Microsoft Power Platform to create applications that can solve real-world business problems. Starting with Power Apps, you'll learn to build simple canvas applications with user-friendly interface and customization options even if you don’t have a programming background. As the course progresses, you'll explore model-driven apps, where you can enhance and streamline the app development without the need for coding.

You'll then learn to use PowerApps Portals, which will allow users external to your organizations to login and interact with your application. The course will also cover using Microsoft Power Automate to automate common business workflows and reduce the time spent on repetitive, time-consuming tasks. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the skill to create applications that can automate business processes and improve business efficiency.

Power Apps allows businesses to create custom solutions for everyday problems. In this module, you will learn how to build and customize a canvas app from scratch, and to leverage Power Apps to create model-driven apps.
