Becoming A Power Platform Developer: Tips, Tricks And More!

Power Apps are powerful, elegant and versatile tools that require teamwork to build. In conventional app development, teams would collaborate and each member would contribute to a small piece of the final product. However, Power Platform is not very friendly to co-creation or co-operation in app development or automation scenarios. It's more like creating side by side, rather than together. To help your design, development and business teams work more efficiently and deliver better apps faster, Microsoft has improved the collaboration features in their products over the past year.
Vivian will share her insights on the various collaboration options within the Power Platform and show you what is possible and what is not when working together on your apps.

- Who? - This session is for anyone who builds canvas or model-driven apps
- What? - Exploring collaboration features, such as copresence and coauthoring, and how to use them wisely
- How? - Through demonstrations and lessons learned from different projects
- Why? - To enhance your teamwork, discover what is available in each region and how to optimize the functionality

WHAT: 
Embark on a comprehensive full-day workshop delving deep into Microsoft Power Automate Desktop (PAD). Throughout the session, participants will explore advanced error-handling features and gain hands-on experience in constructing a resilient framework for desktop flows that actually work more than once. The primary focus will be on understanding and implementing robust error-handling practices and efficient logging mechanisms to ensure the stability and reliability of Power Automate Desktop solutions. The resulting framework will also include reusable standardized flow structure that will save hours of time when developing new projects.

WHY: 
With the increasing adoption of the Power Platform, the demand for stable and reliable solutions is paramount. Unfortunately, Power Automate Desktop gets some bad reputation for being unreliable, fragile and generally not great when it comes to handling errors and logging. The reality is that PAD does in fact offer a spectrum of powerful features for error handling, but it does not have a generally available framework for doing it. As such, many developers remain unfamiliar with how to leverage these capabilities effectively. This workshop is tailored to address this gap, providing participants with the skills needed to error-proof their desktop flows. By the end of the day, attendees will be adept at crafting efficient, robust flows with the capability to be easily monitored.

HOW: 
The workshop will unfold as an immersive, hands-on experience, guiding participants through the creation of a comprehensive framework for error handling and logging in Power Automate Desktop flows. Key components covered include:
- Leveraging Advanced Error-Handling Features: Understand and implement advanced error-handling features to fortify your solutions against unexpected issues.
- Efficient Logging During Runtime: Learn how to strategically log crucial information during the execution of PAD flows, facilitating effective troubleshooting and analysis.
- Standardized Reusable Flow Structure: Create a framework that can be reused in any future project, saving precious development hours and making maintenance easier, as all your flows will follow the same structure.

TAKEAWAYS: 
Upon completion of this full-day workshop, participants will gain:
- In-Depth Understanding of advanced error-handling features within Power Automate Desktop.
- Hands-on skills in constructing a robust framework for error handling and logging.
- A standardized flow structure they can use while building their flows in the future.

Through a combination of theoretical insights and practical application, participants will leave equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to elevate their Power Automate Desktop automation projects to new levels of reliability and efficiency.

We start application design with a business case, in which end-user experience is a key element. Whether building a low-code or code-based, every application, workflow, every system must have well-designed interfaces. User experience and maintaining proper aesthetics are the most important reason for user adoption, and bad design can also be the most important reason why a system or application is poorly or not adopted at all.


The best designers know that in the world of beautifully designed applications and websites, good design is the fastest way to attract and implement a new customer, new user or decision maker whether the decision makers were Women or Men.
