Power Apps is a low-code solution to building applications. A lot of the work needed to make the application work is done for you behind the scenes. You still have to write code to make the app work, but that's not the main focus when creating the app. An app built with .NET is high-code. I don't mean that .NET isn't elegant or libraries don't exist to help. Rather when you write a .NET app your primary focus is on writing code to make the app work.

Like naming a variable. And then refer to that name in various formulas. Think about how useful that can be - when you need to have a formula that calculates the sum of the cells that hold the values for the cost of eggs, milk, and bread - you co ..read more

If you've been following along with this series on demystifying Azure Active Directory for developers - showing how all the various topics fit together, including using the new Microsoft.Identity.Web library to illustrate various points - you've probably noticed I've only talked about ASP.NET Core web applications and web APIs.

In the last article you learned how to authenticate an ASP.NET Core web application to Azure Active Directory using the preview version of the Microsoft.Identity.Web library.

(And remember, refer back to that first article in this series to help explain any concepts.) Let's get to i ..read more

Have you been following along with all the changes in Azure Active Directory (AD)-land and the various Microsoft Identity branded things? (Especially since my epic series on all things Azure AD B2C?) The changes and new features are amazing but change can be confusing. So let's have a little chat about Azure AD and Microsoft Identity. The Quick Tour OK - so I'm going to level with you... the way things are named in Microsoft's Identity Platform is a little bit... well, confusing. I just illustrated my own point - I said Microsoft Identity Platform without introducing it first. What in the wor ..read more
