This course is the foundation for the Microsoft Certificate PL-900 "Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals", and focuses on the various apps which make up the Power Platform, together with how they can be used by other programs, apps and services.

We'll start off by looking at Power Apps. We'll get a free Developer edition and or free trial of Power Apps, and get some sample data using the Dataverse (previously known as the Common Data Service). We'll then create both a canvas and a model-driven Power App, while looking at the various types of connectors you can use to connect to different data sources.

Next up is Power Automate. Using our free Developer edition, we'll create several automated flows, and the different triggers and actions you can use.

The next app is Microsoft Copilot Studio. We'll create a basic chatbot (now called a "Copilot") which can ask and answer a few questions.

We will have a brief look at the AI Builder, and how models such as the business card reader, object detection model, form processing model and prediction model can be integrated into Power Apps and Power Automate.

We'll finish off by looking at how Power Platform can extend other business solutions, and some Power Platform administration and security.

No prior knowledge is required - we'll even see how to get a free Power Platform trial!

There are regular quizzes to help you remember the information, so you can be sure that you are learning.

Once you have completed this course, you will have a good introductory knowledge of Power Platform and what the capacities of these different apps are. And with some practice, you could even go for the official Microsoft certification PL-900 - wouldn't that look good on your CV or resume? And if you are an American college student, you might even get college credit for passing that exam.

So, without any further ado, let's have a look at how you can use the Udemy interface, and then we'll have a look at the objectives for the exam and therefore the syllabus for this course.
