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....
