SharePoint Saturday Cambridge 2018

A couple weekends ago I presented my PowerApps Jumpstart session at SharePoint Saturday Cambridge, which was once again a terrific event! The theme this year was Britannia – celebrating Queen Boudicca’s Iceni army’s charge against the Roman Empire. That meant cool logos and competitions, as again this was run in conjunction with the SQL Saturday.…

SharePoint Saturday Stockholm 2018

This past Saturday (September 1) I had the great pleasure of presenting my new PowerApps Jumpstart session at SharePoint Saturday Stockholm. This was my first time in Sweden, and I’m really enjoying it! (I’m still here, staying for 6 days altogether.) The speaker dinner on Friday evening was at Aifur, a Viking-themed restaurant in Gamla…

WitGirls podcast

Super stoked to have been the first guest on the WitGirls podcast this week! This is a relatively new podcast (this was Episode #6) hosted by Lise Rasmussen and Christina Gibson out of Sweden. According to their website… There aren’t many podcasts by women in our genre and that is the reason I wanted to…

PowerApps: BabyColors

Just for fun… My 13-month-old granddaughter loves to listen to music and watch videos on our phones (though of course she’s only allowed limited “screen time”). But she’s too young yet to realize that if she touches the screen, YouTube stops or exits. So I was trying to think of something she could play with…

PowerApps: New icons

Ooh, the PowerApps team announced this week that they’ve added 33 new icons! I took a look through them in the Icons dropdown, and thought it might be useful to show the currently available icons and shapes all in one place… (you’ll probably want to zoom in on this a bit) I’m not sure exactly…

PowerApps: Translator

I’ve written a walkthrough on the PowerApps Community Blog site, demoing the usage of the Microsoft Translator connection. I’m getting some use out of my “Quick Translator” app this summer as I travel in Europe!

PowerApps/Flow: Deleting a Connection

I was doing some housekeeping on my PowerApps and Flow connections this evening, and found this nice little safety net… To delete a Connection (say, for example, you no longer have access to a given email account), you just click on it in the list of connections: If you blithely try to click the deletion garbage…

Around the Office 365 – Flow and PowerApps

My good friend Tracy van der Schyff (Office Servers MVP) has been blogging recently about Flow and PowerApps as part of her Office 365 blog-a-day challenge. Some posts are information/reference, some are walkthroughs. Below are links to those posts, but please check out the rest of her blog as well – it’s a crazy challenge, and…

South African SharePoint Saturdays and roadtrip

Howzit! I just returned from an epic month in South Africa, speaking about PowerApps and Flow at the three SharePoint Saturdays, and participating in the first-ever aOS Community roadtrip. It’s hard to find the right words to express how much I enjoyed the experience, but I’ll try… SharePoint Saturday Johannesburg was held on October 8,…

Microsoft PowerApps resources

The following links were last verified and updated November 2017… NOTE: In January 2018, Microsoft published a great list of resources for all levels of PowerApps users! PowerApps site PowerApps plans and pricing PowerApps Guided Learning: short tutorials and videos, started around January 2017, I believe. Connector reference – new in May 2017, this site…
