Course Overview

This course equips learners with the knowledge and skills to create and manage canvas apps using Power Apps, helping organizations enhance productivity and streamline workflows. Through a step-by-step approach, participants will learn to build, customize, and maintain user-friendly applications.

You’ll begin by exploring Power Apps fundamentals, creating your first app, connecting to data sources, and using Excel with Copilot to generate apps automatically. You’ll also see how Power Apps integrates with Power Automate and Power BI and learn best practices for app design.

Next, you’ll customize your canvas app, working with screens, controls, and layouts to improve functionality and visual appeal. You’ll then learn how to build intuitive user interfaces, using themes, branding controls, icons, and images, and tailoring your app for both phone and tablet experiences.

Finally, you’ll learn how to publish, share, and maintain your app, covering application lifecycle management and collaboration best practices. A guided project provides hands-on experience, reinforcing key concepts by walking you through creating and managing your own canvas app.
