I joined the Zero to Hero program, mentored by Victor and many others in the community.
Why Power Pages?
I do not know much about Power Pages.
In 2024, I would like to learn and hopefully get an opportunity to implement a project on power pages.
This is one area in which I didn’t work much or get exposure.
I wanted to be ready if the opportunity came my way.
Plan
Whatever, I wanted to get started.
I created a plan that is simple and actionable.
Below is the high-level plan.
Attend all the sessions released as part of the Zero to Hero program in 2024.
Well, most of these sessions are at 2 AM in Perth time, so I will end up watching the recordings.
Thanks to Victor and the Team for making these available on YouTube.
I will add the links to the blog post once they are up and running.

I also want to watch previous recordings of zero-to-hero sessions on Power Pages.
Below are the links to previous ones if you are interested in watching.

While I am learning, I need to practice.
Without practice, it will make me feel like I am making progress but going nowhere.
I need to build a project.
What is the best way? I do not know. Below are a few ways I am planning to handle this.
If you have some other ideas, leave them in the comment section below or DM me on LinkedIn.
Practice or Project or Forums?:
I think I will go with forums for now.
I can learn about the challenges many people face working on real-world projects.
Again, I wanted to break it down.
This will be done in a few stages, but I am happy to get your ideas.
Stage 1:
Practice labs on the Microsoft Learn portal.
Spend 15 minutes daily in the Power Pages Forum.
This will give me an idea of real-world challenges.
It might prepare me better while attending the live sessions or watching the recordings.
To make this happen, I will block my calendar for 15 minutes.
If I block it in my calendar, I will do this.
I will do it for 2 to 3 weeks.
Once I am comfortable with the concepts, I want to move to the next stage.
Stage 2:
This is where magic happens.
Continue to spend 15 minutes on Forums daily.
This time, start answering 1 forum question per day.
Implement what I learned.
I might not answer even 1 question in the first few days or weeks, and it’s okay.
I even might struggle to understand the questions.
Again, I plan to block 15 minutes in my calendar to do this.
What’s next?
Sharing the learnings
I will share what I have learned once a week with everyone on this blog or Linkedin.
Make sure you sign up to get future posts.
This will keep me going and learning Power Pages.
Additional resources
I will also be referring to the additional resources.

Final Thoughts
Why do a blog post?
Social accountability >>> Goals that are listed on my desk ~ Dickie Bush (He said something along those lines)
I wanted to continue to learn and practice power pages.
One option is to do it myself.
Or I think a better one is to tell everyone what I want to do.
If I do not do it on what I planned, one of you might ask me :).
Did I miss something?
