Course Description

This video is all about a Power Apps training course for beginners as well as already experienced Power App developers alike! I'll be previewing the Time Tracking app that we will be BUILDING TOGETHER during the actual course!

The course is about 3 hours long and I'll be able to answer any questions you have during it. The unique part about the course is that it allows you to learn Power Apps by actually building an application with me.
