Joe Gill Power Platform Irish Tour Waterford

Last night I did a talk to the Water Tech Meetup on the Power Platform and the low code revolution. This was very well attended which I hope was down to me rather than the free pizza and beer. It was in a very nice venue called Boxworks which is a cool shared office space. From what I could gather the audience contained a large number of open source developers and in fact … [Read more...] about Power Platform Irish Tour Waterford 26 Feb 2020

Build Watson Assistant ChatBot

18th December 2019 by Joe Gill

I was recently demonstrating Power Virtual Agent to somebody who was suitably impressed with how easy it was to create a chat bot without any technical skills. Unfortunately when I explained that Power Virtual Agent costs $1,000 per month for 2,000 sessions they were suitably unimpressed. They asked me if I could suggest an alternative.

Create Powerapps Nav Bar Component for Canvas App

26th November 2019 by Joe Gill

I wanted to get more familiar with building Canvas Apps in Power Apps so I thought I would try and create a Wizard type app, that guides a user through a series of input screens.

CDS Non-interactive accounts now need licences

4th September 2019 by Joe Gill

The October release of the Power Platform covering Dynamics 365 sees the introduction of API call limits based on a user's licence type. For example a PowerApps per user licence will allow a user to make 5,000 API calls in a given 24 hour period.
