The 1990s: Microsoft Takes You Back In Time!
-
Microsoft Power Apps You must watch the video at this link : Power Apps Demos | Microsoft Power Apps[^] (2min 15 seconds - I dare you to watch it!) It is so funny, because it reminds me of a CASE tools[^] advertisement you might have seen in the 90s.
From the video
"...wants to create an app for her store associates that will quickly surface key info to drive higher sales & a better customer experience. With no coding experience Olivia [Sales Mgr] uses microsoft power apps to easily build this app herself. She wants her app to automatically put data driven customer reccomendations at her associates fingertips while out on the sales floor."
X| X| There's so much marketing blather in the video that I (as a Software Dev) actually broke out in a rash. :laugh: :laugh: I bathed in some C# and now things are less itchy. :rolleyes:

Olivia makes all the customer data easily viewable by all users and makes it easy for customers to view what other customers are buying and for how much. Olivia puts the app "in the cloud".

And that is the interesting thing. This doesn't mention the MAJOR POINTS: 1. Where does the data come from? - A DBA did a lot of work 2. How does Olivia know how to connect to that data? - A developer holds the hand to get it working & is blamed when it doesn't. 3. What is her security level that she can read / write data? Who set all of that up? Honestly, the data is the difficult thing. Yeah, probably if you have the data stored properly anything is easy. There's just a lot of missing parts in that Dog & Pony show video. And, it's kind of irresponsible because managers all over the Universe are yelling at people, "It's very easy because I saw the 2 minute 15 second video!!!" :rolleyes:

These apps with JavaScript Backends are the future...if you can't fight them join them....

And then she can analyze it with Power BI - one of the most developer intensive BI solutions around. Oh and Power BI hooks you into the entire MS server eco system. And it is every managers wet dream!

I have joined their webinar once. I have tried all their tutorials. The marketing videos and the ads lied. Microsoft's Power Apps suck. I would rather use old trustworthy WPF and Entity Framework if someone ordered a native Windows app from me. Also there's no way a non IT manager can make her own proper program with Power Apps. Yeah.. she will leak all consumers' data to each other.
