Session Abstract

We love Power Apps for how quickly it helps build business apps, but sometimes low-code just isn’t enough. Entering Code Apps, a new way to build apps with real code, while still tapping into the Power Platform’s built-in services, security, and deployment features. In this session, we’ll drive through: • What Code Apps is, how it fits into the Power Apps family • See how code interacts with the platform runtime, authentication, and data connectors . • Build something simple together (think React or another modern framework): dev → package → publish • Talk about the challenges and trade-offs: what we can’t do, what we must know up front • Share tips, patterns, and ideas for when, and how, to start moving existing apps toward a code-first world By the end, we won’t just be thinking , we’ll be ready to do ! 🤠 So… dare to miss?
