Hot SPA time machine in Power Pages
AI agent wrote, compiled, and deployed a full Dataverse plugin for George in under thirty minutes with DLL, custom API, pre/post steps and all, rendering him (George, that is) obsolete.

The Very Last Release Wave
Better late than never: we look back at what Microsoft put in the Power Pages section of the last-ever Power Platform release wave. The twice-yearly release-wave model is now being replaced by continuous updates on the AI at Work roadmap. So what was in the final wave? Server-side logic and…

jQuery or Not, Client-Side API Will Always Start with a $
Power Pages is having a surprisingly good run. In this episode we dig into server-side logic debugging, the new client-side API, and why both feel about 15 years late yet still genuinely useful. We also look at Omar Zaarour's business-rules tool, Danish Naglekar's cross-platform Power Platform...

Hide your dirty laundry on the server-side

Payments in Power Pages or Show Me The Money
What you hear in the opening is a sound clip titled "money count bills". Not sure about that, sounds more like soliders marching on gravel. Why did I pick that sound? Because it was available in the sound effect library I have already paid for. If I didn't have to pay for things, I would have...
