Power Platform Dev Weekly #217
Welcome to the Power Platform Developers Weekly!
It’s a busy few weeks of events, some of the PPDevWeekly team have only just got back from DynamicMinds and even more of the team are about to head out to Brussels for the European Power Platform Conference next week - if you see any of the time, please come and say hello!
We just wanted to take a brief pause to highlight a post from earlier this year, that is just as relevant today as it was then by Julie Yack, talking about giving back and helping those that may require it - The continued cost of the war in Ukraine and those it leaves behind.
