## Who is this for?

This is an event for anyone who is curious about OpenAPI, Azure Functions, or Power Platforms - and is looking for more effective ways to integrate these technologies into their workflows. 

It's also a great place to learn about `fusion development` - an approach that involves breaking down the silos between professional developers (who understand the technologies) and citizen developers (who understand the business needs and domain-specific challenges). 

Want a sneak peek at what this means? Check out these two learning resources:

## Fusion Development: eBook

[The eBook](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/guidance/fusion-dev-ebook/?WT.mc_id=azurefunctionsonlearntv--34311-ninarasi) gives an introduction to fusion development that shows how different stakeholders in the app development process can engage meaningfully with each other.

![The images shows how fusion developers and pro developers can work together in an app dev process](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/guidance/fusion-dev-ebook/media/image4.png)

It also explores a sample scenario (familiar to many such teams) and helps you walk through the steps to identify and integrate relevant technologies to build the required workflow to develop and deploy a real-world application.

## Fusion Development: Learning Path

This learning path complements the e-book but offers a self-paced step-by-step exploration of the technologies involved with hands-on exercises for validation. Learn how to build a Power Apps component, describe your Web APIs with OpenAPI (and integrate with Azure API Management) - then discover and use those Web API from Power Apps applications.
