Creating custom applications for specific business processes has evolved from an emerging trend to a standard practice in many organizations. In the past, if employees had an idea for automating or streamlining a business process, they often had to request that IT resources build the application. Today, it is much more common for employees themselves to become what is sometimes called "citizen developers," who are people with business knowledge who can use app-building tools to create custom business apps. This course introduces building low-code/no-code apps with Microsoft® Power Apps®.

Most out-of-the-box solutions do not meet exact business needs or integrate well with existing business apps. Power Apps eases users into app development with templates, automated app-building tools, and a streamlined programming language to enable any business user to create a custom app. This course is designed for skilled users of Microsoft Windows® and Office who do not have prior coding or programming experience and who are interested in creating custom business apps quickly and without writing application code. In this course, you will: determine how Microsoft Power Apps can meet your business needs, plan and design apps, build canvas apps, build model-driven apps, and test and deploy apps. This course requires that you have access to a Microsoft 365 domain with a Power Apps Developer license. The course setup instructions provided in the first module of the course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.

In today's data-driven business environment, contributors at all levels of an organization can be called on to extract insights from data or to find ways to expose the data so that others can take advantage of it. And the work-from-anywhere business model continues to gain ground, requiring business solutions to be available from various electronic devices.
