Oh, I love that!! "PowerPoint and Excel had a baby and that is Power Apps"!!
I tell people that Power Apps is "MS Access in the cloud". Millions of customers have wanted to be able to build MS Access databases for the web and since MS removed the Access Web Apps the nearest tool for that is now Power Apps.

Very well explained April! I watched your first session about Power Platform for Developers during recent bootcamp and you amazingly present the content with lots of knowledge you have. Keep it up! Would you also be able to pls throw some light on Power Platform relevance and significance over other platforms like OutSystem (they say it's Dev friendly)? Thanks again for bringing all the useful content for us!

Awesome video. Thank so you much. I got a suggestion, you could make a video about PowerApps licensing, since it's kinda confusing what you can do with an E5 365 Office subscription vs (Per App vs Per User) licence vs Portal Licenses for anonymous and authenticated users.

I would liked watched this video before, but I'm on time to focuss my little projets. Thanks April to share!

Really useful this. I wonder what the experience would be like building an Canvas to Work against lots datasources incl SharePoint Lists and CDS ( for the buiness rules) . Do we get the best of both worlds?

Hi, April. We want to build a PowerApp (Canvas) that has a UI that displays events on a gantt-like time bar UI. The gantt needs to be interactive... if I need to edit one of the events, I can click or right-click to navigate to the specific record for edit. How would you do that in Canvas?

[VikasSingh-vefp]

Special thanks.. I came to know for 1st time that InfoPath replacement in SharePoint is Power Apps..!

[bavajidoriginti]

Hi when we will choose canvas app and we will choose model driven app let me know madam

Excellent video. Great overview of these components of the Power Platform. Thank you!

[ZodiacForU]

Great video explanation. I'm a click and figure it out type of person who reviews all types of videos to help me at work. Power Apps is my new adventure and I have immensely improved my SharePoint with it. Only issue I have is getting pass step three of connecting Excel as a data source in Power Apps. I keep getting a message concerning API share error etc.

[josephbloom]

April, If I wanted to jumpstart my knowledge where can I take full courses on PowerApps, etc

[mhenrycooper]

You do a really good job with this high-level overview of the three types of apps.

[patrickstapper]

Thanks April. Big fan on how you explain how simple things can be.

Why is everyone doing the "here is my intro" crap?
At least Shane and Reza do it too. Not sure if this is a widespread cliche.

Btw, the content is very good.

Hey April great job. Can you also make a video on creating sample help desk canvas app. I have seen some users had issues while opening canvas app “Error opening file” and some were no data source provided even after connecting to data sources.
