November 2019 Meeting -  Blazor, Electron and Power Apps

Details

This month we will have a "double header" meeting with one presentation on Blazor and Electron by Jim Buck and a second presentation on PowerApps from Randy Hayes.

Abstract 1 - Blazor is the latest web framework from the ASP.NET team that allows web apps to built using 100% .NET technologies. Electron is a platform for building desktop apps using Node.js and Chromium. What happens when you put them together? The opportunity to build for the web and desktop using shared components and services. This talk will cover the basics for both technologies, how to use them together, and plenty of demos!

Abstract 2 - PowerApps is a Platform as a Service from Microsoft that allows you to create business apps for almost every device with no code and no infrastructure needed beyond what you might already have today with your Office 365 or Dynamics 365 plans. PowerApps lets you tackle productivity bottlenecks and business “noise” that traditionally would have cost you an arm and a leg to develop. PowerApps provides hundreds of connectors to almost all mainstream services to bring all your information together in one app.

In this presentation we’ll cover the basics of what PowerApps is and isn’t and we discover how you can take a common business scenario to the next level with very little effort.
