The class also examines advanced techniques required in real-word PowerApps scenarios such as creating custom connectors and conducting application lifecycle management (ALM) using managed solutions and multiple environments for development, UAT and production. This training course provides you with hands-on lab exercises to reinforce the PowerApps and Flow concepts and techniques taught in the lecture.  In the labs, you will set up your own isolated PowerApps environment for building canvas apps, flows and model-driven apps.
