Attended SharePoint Fest DC 2017


Last week I attended the SharePoint conference in Washington DC- SharePoint Fest DC 2017. It has various tracks such ECM. Search, BI, Office 365, workflow, and development. I have chosen all the developer and implementation topics with the focus on Azure, Office 365 related to SharePoint. 




The development topics that I attended were touched on React, TypeScript, SPFx, SharPoint PnP. I had chance attend sessions from SharePoint's well known MVPs such as Joel Oleson, Asif Rehmani (remember SharePoint workflow vidoe's); few presenters were very young who seemed hard core javascripters. 

Here are the topics that I attended:
  • How to make use of All that’s included in Office 365 – By Asif Rehmani
  • SharePoint Frame work, Angular & Azure Functions: The modern SharePoint developer tool belt – By Sebastien Levert
  • Using Document Sets to implement Business Processes – By Tom Robbins
  • Not sure how you should REACT – By Ryan Schouten
  • Teams, Groups, SharePoint and Yammer….Oh My! – By Joel Oleson
  • Upgrading Legacy SharePoint Customizations to the Add-in Model – By Danny Jessee
  • SharePoint 2016 : What’s New and Why should I upgrade? – By Paul Stark
  • Supercharge your SharePoint Framework Webpart with React – By Eric Overfield
  • Extranets in SharePoint On Premises and Office 365 – By Peter Carson
  • Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for Office 365 Developers – By Prashanth G Bhoyar

Overall, I liked the conference; came out with one aspiration: do more JavaScript, get on the cloud....
