I’m excited to head back to the TechCon 365 conference in Washington DC in August 2024 presenting a pair of full-day workshops & sessions for SharePoint Framework, Microsoft Teams, & SharePoint Embedded developers!
TechCon 365 Washington DC in August 2024
Full-day Workshop: Developers! Learn the SharePoint Framework to Customize and Extend Microsoft 365 apps
The best way you can customize and extend your SharePoint site is using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx), the latest evolution of SharePoint development. This model is the way you customize and extend the modern experience in SharePoint.
In this workshop, you’ll learn what the SharePoint Framework is & how to get started installing everything you need on your workstation to start building. Then you’ll learn how to build web parts and customize the user experience with extensions.
This workshop is not intended for attendees to follow along & build the same projects during the session. Instead, focus on learning, taking notes, & getting answers to your questions - you’ll walk away with everything at the end of the day!
Full-day Workshop: Zero to Hero: Build Microsoft Teams App for Full Stack Developers
If you have little to no experience creating apps for Microsoft Teams using full-stack development techniques, this is for you! After covering what tools you need to start creating Microsoft Teams Apps, you’ll learn how to build different components to extend Microsoft Teams. This includes building personal & channel tabs (apps), bots, and message extensions for Microsoft Teams. And, you’ll learn how to take your message extensions and use them as Copilot plugins if your users have Copilot for Microsoft 365!
This workshop is not intended for attendees to follow along & build the same projects during the session. Instead, focus on learning, taking notes, & getting answers to your questions - you’ll walk away with everything at the end of the day!
Breakout session: Mastering React Hooks for SharePoint Framework and Microsoft Teams Apps
Delve into the world of React Hooks and discover how to leverage this powerful tool in SharePoint Framework and Microsoft Teams app development.
Learn the fundamentals of React Hooks, including integrating state with the useState hook, handling events and side effects using the useEffect hook, and even how to create custom hooks for your apps!
Whether you’re new to React Hooks or looking to enhance your skills, this session will equip you with the knowledge to create dynamic and efficient apps using React Hooks.
Breakout session: Your onramp to Creating Microsoft Teams apps with the Teams Toolkit for VS Code
The Microsoft Teams Toolkit (TTK) for VS Code is a huge step forward in creating Microsoft Teams apps! And with the retirement of the community “YO TEAMS” option, it isn’t just the best game in town, it’s the ONLY game in town!
In this session, you’ll see how you can use the TTK to create apps and learn all the customization and cool capabilities the TTK has to offer.
By the end of this session, you’ll be ready to build your first Microsoft Teams app, bot, or message extension!
Breakout session: Explore SharePoint Embedded App Development: From Setup to Production Ready Apps
SharePoint Embedded (SPE) offers a headless, API-only pattern for building content apps that integrate management capabilities like collaboration, security, and compliance into any app by storing content within an enterprise’s existing Microsoft 365 tenant. Ready to see how to build your first app? In this session, you’ll learn how to setup SPE in your tenant and build a your first document-centric app that can read, write, and search for files in SPE Containers, render previews, and work with metadata!
