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

Building an app from the ground up, data source and home screen

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

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

Let’s talk about making an app with {low-code}

Over the last few weeks, we have been on a journey to learn low-code. We started with a review of the Microsoft Power Platform. Then we built several automations using Power Automate. Now it’s time to start digging into another service of the Power Platform ecosystem – Power Apps.  Listen to a recording of this post: Power Apps is a

Have you noticed that lately a lot of posts or episodes in the IT Division Blog have audio entries associated with them? The voices in the narration sound quite natural. But more importantly, the sound is clean and without the sounds of dogs barking, leaf blowers, or children in the background. Where are the recordings

Low-Code 5th project: Help the team manage all these requests, PLEASE!!!

¡Hola! Welcome back to another lesson in our series about creating solutions using low-code automation using the Microsoft Power Platform. In our previous posts we have looked at how low-code tools could help us with some simple tasks. In general, they have involved OneDrive, and documents. We also looked at automated approvals.
