There’s a brand-new Power Platform exam on the horizon, explicitly targeting Power Apps. So I thought I’d take a closer look at it, dissecting and discussing the areas to focus on, based on the current exam specification.
It's relatively rare that you will find differences between what's available in Power Automate flows and Logic Apps. The Common Data Service is perhaps the exception to this rule, as its missing some options to allow you to define which attribute data to return from your instance...
Azure API Management and resource manager templates are not natural bedfellows, as I recently discovered. Although it's possible to get them working alongside each other, there is a bit of trial and error involved. That's why I thought I'd share my recent experiences working with them both.
If you are building applications leveraging Azure Active Directory, you may already be aware of the new OAuth 2.0 V2 endpoints to use when generating access tokens. And, although it requires a refactor, it’s possible to utilise them today when connecting to Dynamics 365 / the Common Data Service.
Getting canvas Power Apps working alongside the Common Data Service is pretty straightforward these days. However, you might occasionally hit a few mind-boggling issues, such as the one I had recently involving the assignment of Task records…
Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) controls are a new, shiny, thing that Power Platform / Dynamics 365 developers can work with. They are also a subject area within Microsoft exam MB-400. Therefore, in my next post on my series targeting this exam, let’s see how they work.
It's taken seven posts into my MB-400 developer's exam series for us to start talking about our first code related topic, client-side scripting using JavaScript or TypeScript. And, as we'll see, this is something you should only really resort to after thoroughly exhausting the capabilities within Business Rules…
DevOps and Dynamics 365/the Common Data Service can go together like peaches and cream, with a bit of effort and utilisation of some community tools. And, as always, you may end up having to contend with pesky errors, such as one I had recently involving a TimeoutException...
Canvas Power App development can be a little challenging, particularly if you are coming from a Dynamics CRM / 365 background. Understanding, for example, how to work with option sets within is not immediately clear. Fortunately, once you understand what’s involved, it’s easy to start doing some amazing things…
Dynamics 365 and Power Platform developers should always use Business Rules over JavaScript / TypeScript form functions. Full stop. However, there are situations where the native capabilities within Business Rules are not up to scratch, such as when you start working with multi-select option set fields…
