In this step-by-step Power Apps beginner tutorial, you will learn all about the different App Types in Power Apps. Canvas Power Apps Vs Model-driven Apps Vs Power Apps Portals. You will learn how to create your first Canvas PowerApp, Model-driven App & Portal, understand the differences between the App types - features, licensing, data sources etc. with demos of PowerApps & more.
Power Apps is a suite of apps, services, and connectors, as well as a data platform, that provides a rapid development environment to build custom apps for your business needs. Using Power Apps, you can quickly build custom business apps that connect to your data stored either in the underlying data platform (Microsoft Dataverse) or in various online and on-premises data sources (such as SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, SQL Server, and so on)
In this video you will learn about:
✅ What is Power Apps?
✅ Different Types of Power Apps - Canvas Apps, Model Driven Apps and Portals
✅ When to use what?
✅ Feature Comparison - Licensing, External Access, Data Sources, etc.
✅ How to build a Canvas App?

HOW CAN POWERAPPS AND MICROSOFT FLOW ALLOWS YOUR POWER USERS TO QUICKLY BUILD...Sandro Pereira
Every organization faces constant pressure to do more with less. While technology is often the key to operating more effectively and efficiently, cost and complexity have often prevented organizations from taking maximum advantage of the potential benefits. The growth of SaaS (software as a service) has lowered barriers – no need to deploy servers or to install and configure complex software systems. Just sign up and go.
Microsoft Flow and Microsoft PowerApps will help these people (normally business users) achieve more.
We know not every business problem can be solved with off-the-shelf solutions. But developing custom solutions has traditionally been too costly and time-consuming for many of the needs teams and departments face, especially those projects that integrate across multiple data sources or require delivery across multiple devices from desktop to mobile. As a result, too many technology needs end up unsolved or under-optimized. We piece together spreadsheets, email chains, SharePoint or/and manual processes to fill in the gaps.
PowerApps and Microsoft Flow are both aimed squarely at these gaps. They give people who best understand their needs and challenges the power to quickly meet them, without the time, complexity and cost of custom software development.
In this session, we will look at these two new offering from Microsoft: PowerApps and Flow. What are they? How can I use it? But special we will walk through and create from scratch some live demos showing how to create Enterprise Mobile Application that easily connects with all your enterprise platforms like Office36, SharePoint Online, Dynamic CRM, on-premise SQL, Social Networks and much more and also how they can automate some common tasks using the new Microsoft Flow.

Webinar: iPaaS in the Enterprise - What to Look for in a Cloud Integration Pl...SnapLogic
In this webinar, we talk about important features when it comes to evaluating an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) solution, including ease of use, flexibility, functionality and cloud-based architecture. Joining us in this webinar was Bryant Pham of SnapLogic customer Xactly.
With Bryant, we also discussed Xactly’s evaluation process in finding a solution to connect applications in real time to create a single, comprehensive system of systems to run an expanding business, and initial results the Xactly team is seeing with the use of SnapLogic, including automation and cloud analytics.

Every business is looking for a game-changer in data science, machine learning, and AI. Most organizations are also looking for ways to tap into open-source and commercial data science tools such as Python, RStudio, Apache Spark, Jupyter, and Zeppelin notebooks, to accelerate predictive and machine learning model building and deployment while leveraging the scale, security and governance of the Hortonworks Data Platform and other commercial platforms.
Ana Maria Echeverri will demonstrate how to accelerate data science, machine learning, and deep learning workflows by using IBM Watson Studio, an integrated environment for data scientists, application developers, and subject matter experts. This suite of tools allows to collaboratively connect to data, wrangle that data and use it to build, train and deploy models at scale while using Open Source skills (i.e.: Python) and expanding into cognitive capabilities through access to Watson APIs to build AI-powered applications. If you love Python and want to tap into the power of IBM Watson, this is the session for you.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
