That's awesome! It's great to hear that you're already working with these tools. Certification is definitely a valuable step to further develop your skills and showcase your expertise. Keep up the great work and keep pushing forward! Let's go indeed!
I plan to make a series on interviewing tips, resume prep, conversation with recruiters, and conversations with tech managers on the Power Platform. My focus will be on the US only, but the conversation may shed light on other countries. From my experience manufacturing companies embrace the low-code no-code tech faster than others. But ALL industries will (or have started) to embrace it. IT departments are usually to drag, as they are not sure how to support/manage non-developers in the org with creating apps
Fantastic!!! You're all over it! This is a strong first step. The key to success is repetition. Keep me posted on how this is going for you. I heard the power Up Program was intense
Hey DeShon, I like the way you present this session and no doubt its with great content. My ques. is there are lot of low code technologies are there like power platform, outsystem,mendix,appian , I want to know where is exactly Power platform in 2023 in this low code technology race?
very good question, last I heard they were the leaders in the low code, no code space...mostly because 90% of the fortune 500 companies are already using Microsoft technologies. I feel this is a huge advantage, as companies start to minimize their technology footprint. There is one space that Microsoft is lagging and that will be the RPA (robotics process automation) this is the desktop version of Power Automate...this is not as strong as the competitors...just separate RPA data from the low code, no code data in your research
Hi there! When it comes to freelancing, it really depends on your specific skills and the type of work you want to do. However, some popular tools for freelancers include project management tools like Trello or Asana, communication platforms like Slack or Microsoft Teams, and productivity tools like Google Workspace or Microsoft Office 365. It's important to choose tools that align with your workflow and make your job easier. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
Question...I'm supervisor and I built a power app solution for our team embedded with power bi and power automate email flow. The app has been a huge success and now my divisions want me to build another one. This is a bigger app for a larger amount of people....I feel underpaid. Do you think I should ask for more money?
Hello! It sounds like you've done an amazing job with your power app solution, and it's great to hear that it has been a huge success. When it comes to asking for a raise, it ultimately depends on your specific situation and your relationship with your employer. If you believe that your skills and contributions warrant a higher salary, it may be worth discussing with your supervisor or HR department. Be prepared to highlight your achievements and the value your work has brought to the organization. Good luck!
This video is amazing! I'm a data analyst using mostly Power BI and Excel. I am planning to fully switch into Power Platform by early next year. And also nice to hear you mention regarding the speed & efficiency of Power Platform compared to the 'hardcore devs'. It really still boggles me why a LOT of devs and 'wannabe devs' laugh at Power Platform and any form of low code/ no code tools in several online forums. I think in the data field, both Power BI & Tableau have already proven the low code is indeed revolutionary.
Hey Frederick, I absolutely agree. Power Platform is the future. There will still be areas for pro-dev solutions, but most of what we are building using the pro-tools, and easily and quickly be built using the Power Platform. Basically, there is a faster & easier solution for a certain "grade" of app
Love your videos, just one question. Do you see there being a large demand for freelancing and work related to power apps? Or do you think companies keep this in house?
hey Cassey! very good question. There will always be room for a freelancer in this space. The key is to be more knowledgeable than the client and add tremendous value. Because these techs are "Lego blocks", creativity plays a critical role. So, though the client may have the skills to build, you will have many tricks and tips, that will add value. Teaching a client how to build enterprise grade solutions, and set-up an Power Platform adoption framework (so they are building safely and responsibly) is another consulting opportunity (especially for the larger clients, where governance, regulation, and compliance is top of mind). Yes, yes, and yes....there are so many was to add value, there a lot of opportunity out there as a freelancer (independent consultant)
yes I think power platform is the future, but still, there are many hurdles that we as new leaders faces, for example, there are fewer solutions on the internet, I was stuck in-camera processing and then searched "how to add a camera and snapshot button in powerapps" then 1st time seen your video, your video is valuable and informative but still, Microsoft needs more work to do in creating tutorials and videos for us.
totally agree. The lack of solutions and how-tos makes it difficult to get started. Once you are going, and the "light bulb" goes off, you become unstoppable, but getting going is tough
You are spot on, I'm shooting a video on this very topic...the "Power Shift". Microsoft is doubling down on these technologies and companies seem to be embracing them at a rapid pace. For learning, check out Microsoft Power Up Program...they have a 8 week full immersion course
Hi bro DeShon. Thanks for your video. Can one get a job in power platform or boost one's chances of being hired? am trying to invest in learning something that will at least translate to being hired. I do have an Msc in comp science.
I am an industrial engineer with little knowledge in programming, today I work for a multinational company as an innovation tech and I use the power platform every day, it's really easy to learn and it's incredibly powerful. To be honest I don't know if there are jobs as a power platform developer but it's definitely a very useful skill.
@@romanmarioli830 thanks so much. I guess will learn it as an extra general skill to have and use it to surprise my supervisors to solve some problems. Thanks again.
@@worldcomingtoanend no problem!! The best charcteristic of the power platform is the amount of time you save developing so for prototyping and creating not too complex apps is awesome!
DB2...Now there's a name I've not heard in a long, long time. A long time. -Obi-Wan
Another great video!! Thank you.
lol! exactly. DB2 was the Oracle back in the day. Surprisingly, there is a connector made for DB2...lol
already working with all these tools at work although not certified yet. Will get them and get myself goin. Lets go
That's awesome! It's great to hear that you're already working with these tools. Certification is definitely a valuable step to further develop your skills and showcase your expertise. Keep up the great work and keep pushing forward! Let's go indeed!
Thank you sir for sharing the information with us do you mind explaining the career demand which places or countries will apply this soultions

Thanks for this breakdown, just signed up for the power up program. Anything else to sharpen while learning the basics of these platforms?

@@DeShonClark great!
He said "DB2" and you can see that he even surprised himself! "A core memory!" lol
😂😂😂
Amazing. What do you think whats the best tool I can use for freelancing?

Yes you should and that should be in form of salary rise.

Thank you, I’m currently in IT and I’m looking for my next move and this is it!!! Where would you recommend learning the power platform at?
