Time to change the way you build your Power Apps Canvas Apps. Low-code development can no longer be the Wild West.

• Drag & drop apps thrown together without structure just don’t cut it anymore.
• Development without architecture leads to technical debt, inconsistency, and maintenance nightmares.
• And the worst part? The hidden waste in your apps.
  • Duplicated logic
  • Repeated controls
  • Poorly managed state

The result? Apps that are hard to maintain, slow to evolve, and frustrating to adapt to growing complexity.

That’s exactly why Nicolo Ferranti, Microsoft Power Platform MVP, wrote this new, free guide:

• User Defined Functions (UDFs) and User Defined Types (UDTs)
  → to write cleaner, reusable, and more maintainable code
• Centralised state management
  → for clear, predictable app behaviour
• A structured architectural approach
  → to prevent chaos before it starts

If you’re building with Power Apps and ready to move beyond copy-paste development, this guide is for you. This guide aims to demonstrate how these new features can help you build Power Apps Canvas applications with greater accuracy and architectural discipline.
