Hey there folks,

I know its been a while since many of you last heard from me. Yeah, I used to be Very Active on this forum some years ago. I did manage to get an Awesome 3D Printing job last year in July, it was Truly my Dream Job. And, that's not an exaggeration. But, alas - situation went FUBAR, and the co. let go 40% of workforce between Cali & Texas operations - including me...

So, I'm Back to Searching for a job, and also back to maybe being a little more active on here. As I'm now looking at programming jobs, as well as 3D Printing related jobs.

Anyway, I came across this job listing, which of course mentioned FoxPro. But, then it also mentioned MS PowerApps. I'd Never heard of that. And, a quick search seems to show you can do Drag&Drop screen design, with little coding required.

As such, I was curious to know if Anyone here had any experience with that!?!?

OK, its back to the job search now. I look forward to hearing back from the Hive Mind here.

Regards, Kurt

Hi there Alan,

Thanks for the reply, and the extensive feedback. Actually, Stephen touched based with me about it, we chatted on the phone. It was good getting to catch up with him - as it was a while since last I spoke to him. He did let me know that the full blown version of PowerApps, if you have the 365 license, lets you connect to almost any kind of data source, including things like MS SQL. Too bad that reporting is an afterthought, considering how VFP kicks butt at it! I will indeed have to check out that Tutorial link you sent me.

Thanks again, Kurt

I've had a play with PowerApps - ti was PowerApps For Teams which is (or was) more limited than full-fat PowerApps. For example at the time you could only use Sharepoint Lists as your data backend but I understand now there is a 'Dataverse For Teams' also. For serious LOB applications for end users you or your customer would need the full PowerApps on your Office 365 subscription. As ever with these low-code tools, it's great until you start hitting edge cases but I was quite impressed.

Of course business application style reporting and printing is a distinct afterthought as it seems to be with every tool that isn't Visual FoxPro ;)

Take a look at April Dunnam's excellent Youtube tutorials.
