How to learn PowerApps
Microsoft, as well as many partners, advertise PowerApps with the statement that it is so easy, you can create a mobile app in just one day. There are many “App-in-a-Day” workshops and training opportunities. The Anvaigo team itself took part in some of these workshops to get their own picture of the solution and this marketing statement.
