If you read my previous post, Introduction to PCF: The Future is NOW! you will know that I am extremely passionate about PCF. However, this passion is not just because this is the direction Microsoft Power Platform, PowerApps and all Dynamics 365 1st Apps are going. It is a passion because I do believe it has filled a gap we always felt when building Dynamics 365 CRM solutions for many years. This gap was the lack of ability of building native components within a Dynamics 365 Form, View and Dashboard. Many years ago, we did IFrames (yeah – sounds bad but was normal then) and then we used Web Resources all the way. Now, it is PCF!
So, you want to learn more about PCF, here are some really interesting resources to get you going (updated regularly):
