Jul 19, 2023

Welcome to the Power Platform Dev Weekly!

It is Inspire week, and we go to press as the announcements are being made. Forgive us if we do not capture everything, but make sure you check out the live content and catch up on all the sessions. Check out Microsoft Inspire homepage.

Also, a little bit of help. The UK Microsoft Community is having a little awards ceremony. It would be great for this little newsletter to get nominated for Best Blogger 🤘. Nominate us on UK Community Awards website.

Make sure you subscribe to the new TikTok channel from the Power Platform team. All a bit modern for me (

) , but is excellent.

If you are aspiring to be a Microsoft MVP or you’d like to know what is it all about then

Danish N.
