Power Platform Developers Weekly - Issue #80
By Power Platform Developers • Issue #80 • View online
Welcome to the Power Platform Developers Weekly!
Our usual host, Danish, is taking a well-earned break so this episode is brought to you by our irregular guest editor Carl.
This week, Alex Shelga has been on fire! Not only walking through how to use C# code via a new custom connector preview feature but he had an excellent article on whether we should use long functions or split our code. There is also an excellent rebuttal from Daryl LaBar! Great work guys.
Also, Microsoft announced functionality to ease the pain of working in teams, co-presence is now available for Power Automate! If multiple users save a flow, the flow interface now works out if the changes conflict. Great addition!
