From a technical standpoint we will be building a normal Canvas App without Premium features. So there is no requirement for paid licenses.
To follow this tutorial you should have build a few Canvas Apps and should be familiar with the main building blocks like galleries, buttons, etc.
Throughout the workshop, we will be rebuilding the Twitter frontpage in Power App Canvas Apps as an example to illustrate the concepts we discuss.
