I am a little bit late in the game, but finally found some time to create my first code app. In this post I will create a simple page with a calendar which shows events from a custom events table. I created a similar generative page previously and now will do the same as a code app.
Computer-using agents (CUAs) now deliver more secure UI at scale. When CUAs where introduced last year, Microsoft introduced their capabilities which allowed AI to see, understand and act across web and desktop application, the same as a person would. One of the drawbacks from the community was that the place that the agents would not scale was authentication.
The Power Automate designer had a single User Experience for many years, until about 2 years ago, Microsoft released a new version of the designer with added functionality. You would have to opt in to use the new designer and the flow would allow you to edit it in the Classic or New Interface.
On February 8th, Microsoft announced the General Availability of Single Page Applications (SPAs) for Power Pages. Starting with version 9.8.1.x and later user will be able to build modern, client-side rendering web sites using React, Angular or Vue and deploy them directly to a Power Pages web site using the Power Platform Command Line Interface (CLI).
Today, February 5th, the Microsoft Power Platform team announced the General Availability of Code Apps in Power Apps. This new functionality allows developers to build custom applications within their Power Apps environments.
Recently, while working on a project that needed to get metadata information for different entities, I decided to build a set of PCF controls that would provide me the functionality that I was looking for. There was already a set of controls available, but these were created a while back before Fluent UI virtual controls were really a thing, and with the capabilities of Github Copilot in VS Code, building these controls made the process much simpler.
This week at Ignite, Microsoft introduced the next generation of Microsoft Power Apps. This means the introduction of a new experience that makes building apps as intuitive as explaining an idea, and a seamless integration between apps and agents. It also allows the ability to host and manage all of the apps in a single place.
Generative pages are an AI-driven feature in app development, particularly within model-driven apps. They allow users to create pages by simply describing their needs in natural language, which the system then translates into structured layouts and code
If you have worked throughout your career in multiple industries including government and are trying to build a Power App for your governments clients that should run on the mobile or desktop client, you might have encountered some connection issues and errors that will not allow you to connect.
Side Panes in Model Driven Apps have been around for some time now, and we have used them for showing Entity Lists, Entity Records and web resources. In addition to the standard types that we can display in the side panes we can also display custom pages and PCF controls
