Power Apps is one of the five main services within the Power Platform, the other four being Power Automate, Power Virtual Agents, Power BI and Power Pages.
With Power Apps Citizen Developers can build apps and portals without using traditional code. There are several different no-code/low-code approaches to create business logic to your apps, e.g. by using Power Automate flows or workflows. Professional developers can extend apps with code, e.g. by creating business logic using plug-ins or Azure functions. Power Apps Component Framework is the framework used by Microsoft to create components to model-driven apps. Professional Developers can use this framework and create their own custom components, PCF controls.
There are three app types; model-driven apps, canvas apps and portals.
The former CRM functionality from Microsoft, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, has evolved into a number of model-driven apps built on the Power Platform. Partners and customers to Microsoft can extend these apps or create custom model-driven apps. Where to start? In order to build apps you go to Maker Portal, make sure to choose the intended environment and start making your apps!
