In this installment of the weekly discussion revolving around the latest news and topics on Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft) | @vesajuvonen, Waldek Mastykarz (Microsoft) | @waldekm are joined by Toronto, Ontario, Canada-based Microsoft Cloud Solution Architect and MVP Alum, Hugo Bernier (Microsoft) | @bernierh.

Topics discussed in this session:

  • Hugo’s Day job as a Cloud Solution Architect – focusing on Power Platform adoption - effectively teaching customers how to take advantage of products they already own in context of their existing IT infrastructure.
  • Hugo’s Night job - working on community initiatives like Sharing is Caring events and on Samples repositories – testing, organizing, tagging SPFx extension and web part samples.
  • Working with customers to fine tune their governance models. Three tiers of governance. IT led (Mission critical), IT supported (Infrastructure support), and Personal Productivity initiatives (no support).
  • Rationale for building solutions with Power Platform vs C#. The question – are we building infrastructure capabilities once that will support many projects or building a local app?
  • Latest focus – Dev containers (Docker). Creating remote containers in VSCode that allow developers to open cloud-based samples in the environment they were built. Use of Dev Containers / Codespaces will be demoed during the February 10th SPFx Community call.

We also covered 22 articles published by Microsoft and the PnP Community over the last week.

This week:

  • Waldek – focused on making it easier for Angular developers to build/modify LOB apps for (also) use in Teams.
  • Vesa – SPFx v1.14 updates to product, documentation, tutorials for upcoming release.
  • Hugo – hack-a-thon with large government customer, gearing up for Microsoft 365 Conference, April 5-7th, Las Vegas.

Topics discussed in this session include: hearing about how Sympraxis is focused on helping organizations function at higher levels. Differences in expectations between IT and non-IT customers.

On a continuum of Code – Middle Area – No code, the activity for consulting firms today are greatest in the middle area. User and IT education remains as important as ever. And finally, a discussion positioning Intranet and collaboration tools in organizations today - it's the tools for how we get work done that are rapidly evolving in the most interesting ways today.

In this installment of the weekly discussion revolving around the latest news and topics on Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft) | @vesajuvonen, Waldek Mastykarz (Microsoft) | @waldekm are joined by Belgium-based, MVP, author, Microsoft Teams developer, and CTO with Advantive, Rick Van Rousselt | @RickVanRousselt.

Topics discussed in this session can be summarized with one word. Change! The leap from Teams tab (iFrame) to Extension (Bot Framework) development, or transition from Skype to Teams, in the customer’s mind. Many customers are now circling back to Microsoft partners for guidance on optimizing Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams, yet interestingly at differing rates Worldwide. Clearly in part, adoption is cultural. As well, the partner business has changed from having a development to a consultative focus, from selling and executing long term to short term projects, and the staff from specialists to generalists. The pace of change is fast, challenging and rewarding. Case in point on the pace of change - Microsoft and the Community delivered a box busting 29 articles in this last week!

Please remember to keep on providing us feedback on how we can help on this journey. We always welcome feedback on making the community more inclusive and diverse.

Tomomi actually has been working as a developer advocate for years. Now she is focused on learning the Microsoft product line in order to help others learn the product line.

Discussion about competitive products and why it’s important to explain the capabilities of a product – the use scenario, in a way that conveys what’s possible to help the customer bridge the gap between business needs and technology capabilities. Presently, the crew is quite busy with triage, updates, consolidations, simplifications, etc. In response to how to explain the Microsoft 365 platform opportunity to partners, start with product integration, data locality, a single set of APIs, market size, support, and assistance landing apps.

Finally, hear about Tomomi’s Technology Doodles! A big week of publishing - 21 recently released articles and videos from Microsoft and the PnP Community are highlighted as well.

In this weekly discussion of latest news and topics around Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), are joined by Rabia Williams - MVP, Developer with Engage Squared in Brisbane, Australia. This episode's conversation evolves from the ease of working with SPFx, to challenges of cloud-based authentication, to being involved with the tremendous growth of Microsoft Teams apps/extensions. On becoming an MVP - focus on creating awareness and on sharing your interests and learnings with others. On PnP awareness - the reality is there are more newbies than experts out there, it's incumbent on us to keep learning how to explain the basics better. The trio agrees - contributing to an open-source effort is a different type of developer experience. It’s people to people focused, it’s inclusive, it's addictive and it’s rewarding. In this episode, 15 new community articles are reviewed. Outside this episode please enjoy the diversity of keynotes and sessions at this year's virtual Microsoft Build 2020 conference happening presently.

Paul is focused on helping peers and customers use the parts of Microsoft 365 that are relevant to their job. What is the Microsoft 365 opportunity for developers? Of course, that depends. Microsoft 365 provides many options. First understand and bridge the gap between what your staff can do (their knowledge) and what the service can do for you/them. Key focus areas for newbies? Learn how to write and secure an API, understand React and now React hooks, know your native coding tool - editor, know how to use search engines to find people and information efficiently, understand how to interact with a service you don't own and finally, keep learning.

In this weekly discussion of latest news and topics around Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), are joined by Maarten Eekels - Microsoft MVP, Microsoft Regional Director and Chief Digital Officer of Portiva, in the Netherlands.

The trio discusses how organizations are transitioning (rapidly as of late) and new partner opportunities (and challenges) are surfacing as a result of changes forced on them by the COVID-19 pandemic. Project reprioritization – smaller projects are leading to larger projects, cloud adoption is accelerating, Microsoft Teams usage is high and driving SharePoint and wider Microsoft 365 and Azure Platform adoption, and development focus is on extending the platform rather than waiting on changes to the platform. While citizen development empowers, it also necessitates the need for governance, change management and education. Fortunately, internal “ambassador” programs are emerging as a means to communicate change. 21 newly released Microsoft and PnP Community articles are discussed in this episode as well.

In this weekly discussion of latest news and topics around Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), share their perspectives on how open-source projects and community initiatives can be successful.

Why do some ideas get attention and others just languish?

This discussion focuses on 5 tips for driving successful open-source programs.

  1. Get the idea out of your own head
  2. Target the idea for the people who need it
  3. Rinse and repeat
  4. Building a team
  5. It's not about you, it's about them

Perhaps the ultimate success metric: A self-sustaining program. Successful programs include a strong community of contributors with varying talents, constant communications/reinforcement, well understood goals and objectives and a sincere Sharing is Caring mentality.

Thank you for your participation and contributions in your community. Also, in this episode, there are 15 newly released, well documented and evolutionary articles.

In this weekly discussion of latest news and topics around Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), are joined by Katja Jokisalo – Information Architect, MVP at Sulava in Finland, who is helping to shape the last frontier for information architecture.

The group discusses positioning Teams and SharePoint with customers, the scope and necessity for information organization planning, authoritative content creation and governance, and the analogy of learning to drive and learning to code. Teams is a great place to collaborate and to generate a final document or five (authoritative content) that is then approved, tagged, published and found in SharePoint. This week there was one new entrant on the M365 Non-developer Documentation page - thank you Henrik Yllemo (Ylltec Sweden AB), for your article on Working with Cascading Lists in SharePoint and Power Apps. Note: While Microsoft hosts these community articles, it does not own or endorse them. However, community members do vet the articles that need to demonstrate a valid method for accomplishing a task for a given scenario. Typically, conditions and dependencies are called out in these articles. Both Dev and non-Dev focused articles authored by community members are so important because they expose the hidden knowledge and practical tips only the community can provide. Thank you for contributing. In addition to Henrik’s article, 15 other newly released articles are discussed in this episode.

As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.

In this weekly discussion of latest news and topics around Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), are joined by Albert-Jan Schot – CTO and MVP at Portiva - Utrecht, Netherlands.

The group discusses differences in development for on-prem (one framework, add boxes) vs cloud (many frameworks, throttling), for business productivity stack (integrate stuff) vs Azure (expose stuff) and for open-source projects (rinse and repeat). Unclear? Watch the episode.

Why develop for M365 as opposed to Azure? It’s not that you choose one or the other. Both so intertwined and converging in a cloud first world. Azure (tools/services) supports so much that we just do AI, Infrastructure, Security, Identity in the process of delivering business solutions. M365 is like an OS providing many services. Our focus is integrating and building on top of M365 – within feature rich environments - Teams, Outlook, SharePoint where our customers conduct their daily business.

As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.

In this weekly discussion of latest news and topics around Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), are joined by Wictor Wilén - global innovation lead for modern workplace at Avanade, SharePoint MVP for 10 years, SP Master, SP Certified Architect and creator of Yo Teams, to learn more about his increased focus on Microsoft Teams extensibility.

For Wictor, his latest work is in no way a departure from SharePoint rather as Azure and Microsoft 365 capabilities are working hand-in-hand, Teams opens new doors to add onto SharePoint. The group discusses the differences between developing apps for Teams vs for SharePoint. As well as differences between the requirements of knowledge workers vs first line workers – who are keenly interested in actionable apps. The attraction of the Teams platform is wide access to a host of complementary capabilities – bots, conversations, integrations, content store, chat, video, phone all tied together by Microsoft Graph and Azure Active Directory.

If you are interested in the topic of single-sign-on, you will not want to miss Wictor’s demo focused on this topic during the SP Dev Ecosystem call on Thursday April 2, 2020.

In this session of PnP Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), and typically a special guest from the PnP Community, discuss the latest news and topics around Microsoft 365 development.  This week, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Fabian Williams - Microsoft MVP - Visual Studios Development Technologies and Director for the Intelligent Process automation (IPA) practice at Withum located in Washington D.C.

In addition to Microsoft and Community activities and articles, the group focused on this question:  Why should a Teams or SharePoint developer care about Azure Functions?   Here are a few reasons: 

  1. Deliver a POC in 5 minutes on your browser
  2. I can do C# in the cloud
  3. Modular architecture allows you to build today and easily update functionality in future
  4. Certificate authentication
  5. Language of your choice - .NET, Node, PowerShell, Python, etc...
  6. Capabilities for free like authentication, more bindings and triggers
  7. Global scalability
  8. Very extensible.

If you are a SharePoint classic developer today and you are looking to get started using Azure Functions and you use C#, then start by:  1) Moving on-prem DLLs and NuGet packages into Azure Functions, 2) Learn about using Graph bindings and 3) Look at using CDS for storing data that can be exposed across M365 to Power Apps, Power Automate, Mobile Apps....  Ready to set up your first Azure Function?  Have a look at the demo delivered days ago by Paolo Pialorsi (PiaSys) – focused on Getting started using PnP PowerShell within Azure Functions to automate operations in Microsoft 365. Paolo starts off by showing viewers how to create an Azure Function (App) based on PowerShell commands, how to connect to a specific tenant, and use certificates rather than login credentials of a service account for authentication.

It is agreed, Fabian needs to return for a conversation Part II focusing on how ML and AI are used to monitor exceptions in AAD and more.

In this session of PnP Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), and typically a special guest from the PnP Community, discuss the latest news and topics around Microsoft 365 development.

In this episode, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Franck Cornu - Office 365 developer, architect and owner of aequos out of Montreal, Canada. Franck’s strength is bringing and bridging 3 perspectives - Developer, Architect and Functional Consultant, in every customer conversation. His collaborative approach is - define the backlog together, translate to functional requirements, consider functionality available from community and then define requirements for code, test and final delivery. Lately, Franck has been very actively contributing to the PnP Modern SharePoint Search solution web part. Why contribute? He hates doing the same thing over and over again. Sound familiar? For a project - develop something generic (no customer logic) and share it with community and for the same project grab a capability and use it. Community contribution is a 2-way street with many benefits including "useful" development.

As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.

In this episode, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Karoliina Kettukari – MVP and Microsoft Teams and Office 365 user adoption and change management consultant with Sulava in Helsinki, Finland.   Their conversation focuses on the human side of technology deployments, not addressed by the mere roll-out/announcement of a new technology.   It is clear, change is constant and change impacts people throughout the entire organization - directly and more often indirectly.  A large hurdle and risk to new technology adoption is the perception that this is an IT solution we now need to use as opposed to a tool we wanted and expected because it supports our ongoing business transformation.  Three tips for driving successful (change management) adoption include: 1) securing internal resource and management commitment, 2) understanding/communicating this is a continuous journey, and 3) focusing on the human aspects of successfully performing a function rather than focusing on learning a technology.

SharePoint Team, Microsoft - 18th of February 2020

View Details

In this session of SharePoint Dev Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), and typically a special guest from the SharePoint PnP Community, discuss the latest news and topics around SharePoint development.

In this episode, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Sébastien “Seb” Levert, Product Lead and MVP managing product strategy at Valo Intranet in Montreal, Canada. The conversation focused on the convergence of portals and collaboration platforms.  Teams is becoming the primary work environment through which LOB apps, communications, BOTs, SharePoint, etc., are being accessed.  Valo follows a Teams First development approach.  The challenge is creating the tailored/personalized landing page in Teams without the same controls that are available in SharePoint.  Other trends discussed – clickable BOT actions, Teams left nav, building personal apps using SPFx, enterprise provisioning and “proper snow.”

As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.

In this episode, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Agnes Molnar, owner of Search Explained based in Budapest, delivering consulting and training services worldwide. In addition to drawing attention to the recent advancements being delivered by the SharePoint Community and Microsoft, Vesa, Waldek and Agnes' discussion this week centered on why search is again cool. Albeit, with all the new capabilities including AI and auto tagging, the group agrees - humans will not be replaced anytime soon by computers lacking our human experiences, associations, intentions or essence necessary for defining how we shape, interpret and share knowledge with others. And by the way, metadata is not going away either!  Humans remain needed and necessary for curating content and metadata, in addition to teaching computers how find stuff for us more effectively.  Cool!

In addition to drawing attention to the latest advancements being delivered by the SharePoint Community and Microsoft, Vesa and Waldek's discussion this week focused on: Predictions for 2020.

While making no promises, the direction of Microsoft engineering is focused on delivering Microsoft 365 cross platform services while the development side of the house is focused on a single unified UX framework among other things. Both sides share a common and broad intent to deliver consolidated and cohesive experiences to users and developers in 2020. From Waldek's perspective, a cross platform SDK for SharePoint and simplification of consumption licensing are worthy targets for 2020. Additionally, it is hoped that supportive, sharing is caring, and the "We" development community driven efforts will continue to flourish. As well, the continued evolution/consolidation of connected cross platform building blocks that enable developers and non-developers to efficiently deliver cross platform solutions for their customers.

Have ideas? Please reach out to Vesa and/or Waldek with your ideas or how to make developers, users, guidance more successful.

In this session of SharePoint Dev Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), discuss the latest news and topics around SharePoint development.

In this episode Vesa and Waldek are joined by Bert Jansen Senior Service Engineer at Microsoft. Bert is focused on the modernization journey and on tools that simplify SharePoint adoption.

In addition to drawing attention to the latest advancements being delivered by the SharePoint Community and Microsoft, Vesa, Waldek and Bert’s discussion this week focused on Modernization. The case for waiting to transform because modern does not have the same capabilities as classic is no longer valid. Modern has more capabilities, some of which are available only in SPO. The bottlenecks to adoption discussed: 1) Not sure what needs to be modernized 2) Not sure what tools to use and 3) Not sure I want to lose my customizations.

What is the future for modern? One sure direction is the creation of “PnP services.” In the not too distant future the customer will no longer need to download and configure the latest transformation tools. Instead the site admin or site collection admin will go to a webpage or API, enter a few details and then initiate the scan or migration. Behind the scenes, the latest tool/code is invoked to execute on the request.
