Welcome to #30DaysOfLearning - a fun-packed, interactive training program designed by Cloud Advocates at Microsoft aimed at empowering the next generation of developers in higher institutions across the global with access to the right tech skills and opportunities they need to go global.

 

By creating this curriculum, we hope to support and direct you to build solutions to some of the world's biggest problems utilizing the amazing power of Microsoft's Power Platform. Students also get a chance to learn about and grow their solutions for a spot at Imagine Cup, Microsoft's premier competition for student developers.

 

 

The Power Platform curriculum gives more in-depth knowledge into 4 of the 5 low-code/no-code development tools that make up Microsoft's Power Platform - Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, and Power Virtual Agents. At the end of the learning phase, we would get to connect these different tools together into a single real-life solution.

 

Here's what the curriculum for the next 30days learning Power Platform would look like for you. We've also included links to the learning resources for each day for your consumption.
