Power Apps Development
Power Apps Overview
Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code application development platform in the Power Platform family. It provides two primary app types:
Canvas Apps give full pixel-level control over the UI. Developers drag controls onto a canvas, bind them to data sources, and write Power Fx formulas for behavior and logic. Canvas apps run in a browser or mobile player.
Model-Driven Apps are built on top of Dataverse tables. The UI is auto-generated from the data model — forms, views, dashboards, and business process flows are configured rather than designed from scratch. Model-driven apps enforce consistent navigation, security roles, and business rules.
Power Fx Language
Power Fx is the formula language used in canvas apps (and increasingly across Power Platform). It's inspired by Excel formulas, making it approachable for spreadsheet users.
