Step through the build process executed in the Apple Developer portal. Helpful tips throughout presentation. Conversation – aka.ms/Feb2-Demo1

Make a % field look prettier leveraging the Number Battery sample. Appending SharePoint query strings to page/list URLs to remove navigation. Conversation – aka.ms/Feb2-Demo2
