Driving digital equity and inclusion with no-code tools

I introduced no-code/low-code platforms previously in the I want to develop an app, but… post. At that time, I stated “low code is considered a pathway to empowerment for individuals underrepresented in the digital sector.“ Today, thanks to a partnership with Texas State University’s TRIO program, I am proud to share, we are now taking

The low-code bus arrives: filtering, sorting, and making the app pretty

Today is a special day. We are completing the build of the Hammerhead Turtle Co. mobile portal app. The {low-code} 🚍 journey is reaching a major milestone. Wow, what a journey it has been! Listen to a recording of this post: And the Microsoft 365 Champions 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️🥇 that have been part of it should feel pretty awesome with this whole new

Building an app from the ground up, details and edit screens

Welcome back! Two episodes ago, the {low-code} 🚍 journey started down an interesting new pathway. We have been building a mobile portal app for the Hammerhead Turtle Co. (HHTC). In the last episode we built the home screen, which is the screen that will show the users the web tools that are available to them.

In the previous episode we took steps to lay down the foundation for the app we are building from the ground up.  In trying to stay true to process, we worked first on identifying a problem and producing a user-centered design. Listen to a recording of this post: From there we created a master and

Building an app from the ground up with {low-code} – Part I: design process

I am quite excited about the project upon which we are about to embark. I think that those who hang through this will definitely be some of the most awesome 365 Champions 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️🥇, especially if they remember that #sharingiscaring.

We have been on the {low-code} bus 🚍 journey for a bit now, and things are shaping up pretty nicely. It’s been an exciting journey. Now, things are about to get better. Listen to a recording of this post: So far, the work we have done has created an app that can be used on

Dissection of an app – and there is no gooey stuff to clean!

In this episode of the {low-code} bus journey 🚍 we go back to our childhood. Kids often take things apart in an effort to understand how they work. Listen to a recording of this post: I did it with an old tape deck and, as a biologist, I learned anatomy, physiology, and evolution through dissections

Inventory paper forms? That is so 1999!

The {low-code} journey in the Microsoft 365 landscape can take us on as many roads and pathways as you would like, with as many stops to explore a plethora of side-road attractions.    Listen to a recording of this post: The bus I am on started the road-trip with creating fully baked apps from templates, which

That app was okay, but how do I customize it?

In the previous episode we built an Out of Office app using a Power App template. The app allows you to quickly and efficiently create an out of office message, block your calendar, and notify colleagues you will be out of pocket. Listen to a recording of this post: In some respects, the app is

I am out of the office, but I forgot to let people know: My first Power App

We are starting a new and exciting segment of our journey on the {low-code} highway and today we are going to build an app with no code at all. We will start with a template, like we did with Power Apps, and think about a simple problem. The problem may be simple, but this does not
