In this camp session we'll examine how to develop custom web applications for Power BI using .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5. Campers will be introduced to Microsoft's newest authentication library named Microsoft.Identity.Web and will learn best practices for acquiring and caching access tokens in cloud-based development.

The session will teach campers how to implement Power BI embedding with server-side programming using the Power BI Service API combined together with client-side programming using the Power BI JavaScript API. Along the way, campers will learn how to integrate Node.js and webpack support into a .NET Core web application project to achieve strongly-typed programming when writing client-side TypeScript code using the Power BI JavaScript API.

What Campers Will Learn:

  • Authenticate users and acquire access tokens using Microsoft.Identity.Web

Session Prerequisites

To make the most of this session, campers should have prior experience programming with C# and the .NET Framework. It will also be helpful (but not required) for campers to have experience programming in TypeScript and developing with Node.js.
