Build your Model-Driven App from start to end

Microsoft MVP & RD

Built on the fundamentals of Dynamics 365, Model-Driven Apps allow you to create complex and sophisticated business apps without writing code. Model-Driven apps are based on data from the underlying data source held in Dataverse. The level of integration with Dataverse is so intense that Model-Driven Apps can be described as 'data-first' apps.

But how do you start? With this session, you'll learn to develop an end-to-end model-driven app using Power Apps. First, we'll see how to set up a development environment. Next, explore the data model in Dataverse while working with tables, views, and forms. Finally, we'll learn how to share the app with colleagues and embed our app in Microsoft Teams.

When we're finished with this session, you'll have the skills and knowledge of model-driven Power Apps needed to develop business applications on top of your data rapidly.

Microsoft MVP & MCT

There's more to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote than what immediately meets the eye.

In this session, we're not learning the basics - we're learning the lesser-known gems and useful tools tucked away inside these common apps. We'll cover topics including image background removal, small app settings that make a big difference, cross-app integrations, illustrations vs images, Rehearse with Coach, and much, much more.

Note: This will be based on the Microsoft 365 version (not 2019 or earlier) of the Office desktop apps. While there will be some cross-over, there are features that will be covered that are exclusive to the most up-to-date version.

We'll also discuss:

  • Security best practices for Teams (and SharePoint)
  • Implications of private and shared channels
