Me: Why isn't this working, it was working the other day.

Also Me: Lets collect data as users move through screens so that they don't notice any hits to performance loading a single screen.

Me: Didn't navigate through screens 😂

Past Matt is clever. He knows present Matt will not remember what he is doing when he looks at the code 2 days later. Be like Past Matt. #NotADev #MoreLikeADevThanIOnceWas

What is JSON? An Introduction to JSON.

If you work with the #PowerPlatform or with APIs you may have needed to work with JSON. In this video I explain some of the basics of JSON.

Me: why isn't this working? Why is it half working? What is wrong with this thing?

Stop. Drink coffee. Look at code again.

Me: Seriously? It's a comma that broke this? 😂

It's always a comma or a typo.

"Think of the URI as just the rest of the URL, if you are not familiar with it" - @AshRgrs making the complex simple. Even I can understand this. #NotADev #FlowFam #ScottishSummit2021

Nothing I have shown in my demo is code, that's important. It democratizes Chat Bots for the masses, allows anyone to build a chat bot, no cliffs.

Drinking Red Bull and Coffee this morning, looking at a bunch of squiggly red lines over dozens of lines of "code" does that means I'm closer to #Dev than #NotADev #AskingForAFriend and I also have VS code open 🙈

Add piece by piece and check as you go. It much easier to troubleshoot a single formula rather than a massive formula and you don't know what's not working. It might take a little longer, but I find it much easier than building everything at once. Again, i'm #NotADev

As #NotADev I struggle to write complex formulas in #CanvasApps so I start one function at a time. X * Y works, so move onto Lookup(Products, Name=drpProduct.selectedText, Cost), then (X*Y) /Lookup(Products, Name=drpPdt.selectedText, Cost), and build out from there.

When you've been trying to get something working for a couple of days and you finally figure out the missing piece. Now time to blog about it. #NotADev #PowerPlatform #TimeToParty

Dropdown is filtered by a text box #CanvasApp but when resetting the text box, the dropdown breaks. Thought Reset(TextBox) might not be the best option. Couldn't find anything else. Checked default property for text input, blank, added "", fixed it. #NotADev #PowerPlatform

Now that I've found grouping in #CanvasApps I feel compelled to put everything in a group so that it's nice and neat. @MSPowerApps #ConsultantLife #NotADev

When building formulas in #CanvasApps remember, colours are your friend. Fields are given colours in the formula bar and the fields are also highlighted in the canvas, meaning you can spot where you've put the wrong field in the formula...like me. #NotADev #PowerApps

It was a missing Comma. It was a missing . Comma, brace, bracket, parenthesis, semi-colon, colon. You just have to stare at it long enough to figure out out. #NotADev #WritingMoreCode
