Power Platform ❤ Code Developers
Last updated: Friday, December 26, 2025
Published in: CODE Focus Magazine: 2023 - Vol. 20 - Issue 1 - Power Platform
David Yack argues that traditional code developers remain essential in the Power Platform ecosystem by leveraging familiar skills to extend a low-code environment built on Azure. He emphasizes extensibility without cliffs through APIs, connectors, PCF components, and Dataverse plugins, and highlights practical tooling (Power Platform CLI, VS Code extension) and API-first integration to bring custom logic into low-code flows. Yack also champions fusion teams that blend makers and developers to accelerate solutions, encouraging code professionals to engage, contribute connectors and plugins, and deepen their understanding of the platform.
