In this lecture, we are going to discuss the Governance features available in Microsoft Flow including Management Connectors, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies, Environments, Admin Analytics PowerShell, O365 Security & Compliance and flow run/run history durations.

In Lecture 20 we are going to talk about how to graduate a flow to a logic app by using the export and import features that are available in Microsoft Flow and Azure Logic Apps.

In this lecture, we are going to see a demo of some of the recent topics that we just covered including Solutions, Environments, Admin Analytics and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies.

In this lecture, Kent will introduce Logic Apps and summarize its position as an Integration Platform as a Service offering that requires an Azure subscription. He will also touch on the billing models and where Logic Apps sits within the broader Microsoft organization.

Lecture 23 includes information about Templates. While there are some similarities with Microsoft Flow templates, there are also some subtle differences that Kent will discuss.

In this lecture we will discuss Logic Apps connectors including the similarities, differences, cloud/on-premises, ISE and custom connectors.

Lecture 25 contains demos related to the Azure Portal, using Azure Logic Apps Templates and understanding how Azure Logic Apps is licensed.

In Lecture 26, we discuss the different tools where we can create and edit logic apps including a web browser, Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.

In this lecture we are going to review the Enterprise Integration Pack and the benefits it provides including Typed Schemas, Flat files, XML and JSON transformations and Trading Partner Management.

Inline Code is a relatively new feature that allows developers to write short-lived Javascript code that can be executed within a logic app without requiring a separate host. In this lecture we will discuss how to implement this feature.

In this lecture we are going to demo some of the recent topics including the Enterprise Integration Pack/Integration Account, Visual Studio editing experiences and Inline Code.

Azure Logic Apps ISE is a dedicated, capacity-based model that includes increased thresholds and limits for logic app workflows. It also includes fixed billing and VNet support. In this lecture, Kent will provide a deep dive on the capabilities found in ISE.

In this lecture we are going to discuss the 'better together' scenarios that exist with Azure Logic Apps and other Azure services like Service Bus, Azure Functions, API Management and Event Grid.

In Lecture 32 we will walk through configuring APIM to protect a logic app and prevent unauthorized access by restricting who can call our logic app http endpoint.

In Lecture 33, we are going to talk about monitoring Azure Logic Apps and the unique capabilities that Azure provides for Logic Apps. We will also briefly talk about a 3rd party tool, Serverless360 which can also be used for monitoring purposes.

Azure Monitoring is a service that organizations can use to monitor Azure resources, including Azure Logic Apps. In this lecture we will see a demo that includes configuring Azure Monitor to subscribe to logic app alerts and then log an incident into ServiceNow, an IT Service Management tool.

Lecture 35 compares and contrasts the Azure Logic Apps Governance story against the one the exists with Microsoft Flow and includes concepts such as Identity &  Access Management roles, Resource Groups and logging.

In this lecture, we will see some demos regarding Azure Logic Apps governance including Resource Groups, Identity and Access Management (IAM), data retention and publishing telemetry to Azure Log Analytics.

In this lecture we are going to talk about some of the influences that can determine which tool should be used when making a decision between Microsoft Flow and Azure Logic Apps.

Lecture 38 introduces the concept of making our decision based upon business needs and focusing on using the right tool for the job.

In this lecture we are going to talk about a couple myths that are often perceived when trying to identify the correct tool for the job.

Organization design is often overlooked when determined how to use these tools. In this lecture we are going to review some considerations that should be taken into account when determining between Microsoft Flow and Azure Logic Apps.

In Lecture 41, we will discuss Requirements Complexity  and where each tool is better suited based upon the requirements of the solution.

In this lecture we are going to talk more about scaling your organization through the use of Microsoft Flow and Azure Logic Apps.

In this demo, we will create a contractor onboarding process that leverages Microsoft Forms, Microsoft Flow, Approvals and SharePoint online to automate a business process.

Automated document generation represents a great opportunity for organizations to reduce manual labor. In this demo, we are going to use a SharePoint flow button to retrieve SharePoint list data and merge it with a Microsoft Word template that we can convert to PDF and send to a staffing agency.

In this lecture we will recap some of the common, or unique, characteristics that make Microsoft Flow the logical candidate to address solution requirements.

In this demo we are going to implement an Employee on-boarding solution that requires the use of the Flat File Decoder found in Enterprise Integration Pack. We are also going to take advantage of the new Inline Code feature to further transform the format of the message.

Reactive programming is an event-based model for subscribing to events, at scale, and then reacting to them. In this demo, we look at how Azure Logic Apps can subscribe to Azure Subscription events in order to impose cloud governance.

In this lecture we summarize what are some of the common, or unique, characteristics of Azure Logic Apps that makes it the right tool for the scenarios that we just demo'd.

In this lecture, Kent will declare who is the winner when leveraging these disruptive technologies.
