As a developer, efficiency is key for me. If I have to do something twice, that's once too many! I've simplified plugin package deployment to just building the project and blogged the streamlined process for anyone facing the same repetitive challenge. dotnetdust.blogspot.com/2024/07/autoin…

My new favorite way of interacting with the Dataverse API. I am sure there are other ways, but this is what I've been doing lately and come to enjoy the simplicity of it. github.com/devkeydet/data… If you have ideas on how to make it better, share on the repo.

Value of task wrappers over pac cli vs calling pac cli directly? Would love your participation in this discussion. Get your friends and colleagues to participate as well. github.com/microsoft/powe…

powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/pow… Source code for canvas apps right in Power Apps Studio anyone? How about source control integration right from the maker portal?

🚨New blog alert: See philcole.org/post/addpresea… for my experience using the newly documented FetchXml filters with lookup columns in a model driven app. It may save you time!

Huge achievement for the First Light team! Last month, we solved a major engineering challenge in the design of our concept power plant by increasing the 'standoff' – the distance travelled by the projectile to the fusion target – by more than 10 times. firstlightfusion.com/media/first-li…

@FullyChargedShw Happy Birthday! Fav episode has to be @helenczerski and @FLFusion. So inspiring. youtube.com/watch?v=M1RsHQ…

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! 🎉 Fully Charged SHOW turns 14 today! We've done some amazing features on our channel over the years, all starting with the one and only Bobby Llew kicking it off back in the day with the Tesla Roadster Sport, and how things have changed since! 👉 buff.ly/3UnjXmM What has been your favourite episodes that we've created? Let us know in the comments! 👇

@CrmKeeper @a33ik I find the serialised PowerFx easier to read because it mostly uses logical names rather than the (changeable, but more maker friendly) display names shown by the monacobased editors. It would be nice if there was a way to switch the monaco editor between the two forms of PowerFx

@a33ik I personally prefer Javascript because it's easier to read. Taking over forms from others trying to find business rules pr field + all other fields with unique logic etc is such a pain :)

Imagine you have PowerFX formulas working on #ModelDriven #Dataverse forms. What will you use it for? My usage is visibility of controls and requirement level of fields. Did I miss anything? Please let me know in a comment. Also hypothetically, would you use it if it's available?

@a33ik Yes (for loads) removing need for JS/TS: 1. Filtering Lookups on forms. 2. Choice (aka OptionSet) filtering 3. Tab/Section/Control visibility 4. Switching form onLoad 5. Opening Custom Pages 6. Calling CustomAPIs/Actions 7. Populating dependent fields when another field changes

Microsoft Power Platform Developer Office Hours - March 2024 youtube.com/watch?v=qQA5wP…

Microsoft urges us to move all our plugin steps from messages: single messages to CreateMultiple, UpdateMultiple, and DeleteMultiple. You may say: “OK, thanks, but that’s not relevant to us." You are wrong. #dataverse #bulkoperation #seethefuture jonasr.app/follow-microso…

@Carpervert @LateBrakeShow @Patreon Plus, if you're a Patreon, you get to read the most amusing weekly email. @Carpervert has a wonderful way with words, especially for this barn find.

Tomorrow on @LateBrakeShow . Can you guess the car? No cheating @Patreon folks!
