Earlier this week, I finished planning out some live Microsoft 365 development offerings for the rest of 2025, including free webinars, live virtual workshops, and cohort-based courses launching this September.
I’ve been working in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem for over 22 years, and I’m particularly excited about these fall offerings because they address the biggest gaps I see developers struggling with right now - the stuff Microsoft’s documentation just doesn’t cover in real-world scenarios.
SharePoint Framework Live Virtual Workshop (Sept 9-11)
Announcing a new live workshop, the SharePoint Framework Virtual Workshop, with the debut cohort delivery scheduled for September 9-11, 2025!
This workshop covers the core of what you need to know to get started with SPFx development - ideal if you’re getting into the framework or want to build a solid foundation. We’ll focus on the essential concepts and patterns you need to start building real SharePoint solutions.
This workshop covers:
- SPFx fundamentals and development environment setup
- Building web parts and extensions that work in production
- Essential development patterns and best practices
- Live troubleshooting and Q&A for your specific scenarios
This SPFx course has been an incredible learning experience. It provides a strong foundation while also diving into advanced topics, making it a valuable resource for developers at all levels. The material is well-structured, covering both high-level concepts and hands-on development, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of SPFx. One of the standout aspects of the course is the breadth of content—there are plenty of in-depth modules that reinforce the fundamentals, making it easy to build a solid knowledge base. I’m looking forward to revisiting some of the foundational courses to refine my expertise even further. Overall, this course has been a fantastic investment in my SPFx journey, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to expand their SharePoint development skills.

Build Declarative Agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot (Sept 16-17)
Microsoft’s push into AI with Copilot is creating massive opportunities for developers who know how to build custom agents. But here’s what I’ve noticed - most of the guidance out there focuses on Copilot Studio, which is fine for simple scenarios but falls short when you need enterprise-grade solutions.
That’s why I’m running my Build Declarative Agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot live workshop on September 16-17, 2025. This will be the fourth delivery of this workshop, and I’ve refined the content based on feedback from previous cohorts to make sure you get the most practical, actionable insights.
What you’ll learn:
- How to build custom Copilot agents using the declarative approach
- When to use declarative agents vs. other Copilot extensibility options
- Real-world implementation patterns that actually work in enterprise environments
- Advanced scenarios Microsoft’s docs don’t cover
For anyone looking to quickly grasp the intricacies of declarative agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot, Andrew's "Build Declarative Agents" course on Voitanos is an absolute must. Andrew provides an incredibly detailed exploration of practical use cases, crucial decision-making processes, and the hands-on execution of building agents. The course is packed with valuable information, prompting me to revisit the material multiple times. Thanks to Andrew's expert guidance, I'm now confidently on track to build my first agent this quarter. Highly recommended!

Microsoft Teams App Development Accelerator Cohort (Sept 24 - Nov 14)
I’m opening enrollment for the sixth cohort of my Microsoft Teams App Development Accelerator course starting September 24th, 2025.
Here’s what I’ve noticed after years of helping developers build Teams apps 👉 most people drastically underestimate what’s possible with Teams development. They think it’s just basic tabs and bots, but the reality is you can build incredibly sophisticated applications that integrate deeply into the Teams experience.
This comprehensive course covers:
- Building tabs, bots, messaging extensions, and declarative agents
- Advanced authentication and Microsoft Graph integration
- Real-world deployment and lifecycle management
- Enterprise-grade development patterns
I have followed Andrew for years whether it was through his podcasts, presenting at conferences, or through his Mastering the SPFx course. The Microsoft Teams App Dev Accelerator Course was my first opportunity to participate in an online weekly course led by Andrew Connell. His depth and breadth of topics covered in the course were extensive and deep and his explanation was clear and concise in a way I could understand. He was open to answering any question related to Teams App Development or scenarios pertaining to it. The course syllabus had a logical weekly progression in terms of difficulty and complexity. I also enjoyed the occasional participation from my fellow students. If you want to learn the ABC's of Teams App Development then I highly recommend taking this course.

All content reflects the latest developer tools (Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit, replacing the Teams Toolkit) and SDKs (Microsoft 365 Agents SDK, replacing the Bot Framework), so you’ll be working with the current Microsoft development stack. Bonus: Course enrollment includes access to my Microsoft 365 Copilot: Build Declarative Agents Workshop (September 16-17) - that’s additional value right there.
This isn’t a “follow along and build a to-do app” course. The course runs for 8 weeks with live sessions, recorded instructor-led demos you can use to build your own projects as optional homework, and direct access to me for questions and code reviews.
