Power Apps1 is a powerful forms tool in Microsoft 365. It is not a direct replacement of InfoPath (which I covered in the previous edition of this book but is now largely obsolete) as it does things differently (and often better). I particularly like that Power Apps can be created completely in the browser, are optimized for mobile devices, can connect to a multitude of data sources, and have a familiar Visual Basic-like syntax.2
