Multi-Day Microsoft Teams AppsStop wasting time guessing
Master Microsoft Teams app development with confidence in just days
Frustrated with Microsoft's confusing SDK guidance and scattered documentation when trying to build Microsoft Teams apps?
You're not alone. Too many developers waste hours navigating Microsoft's contradictory tooling recommendations and incomplete examples, only to hit dead ends when building production-ready solutions. But it doesn't have to be this way.
Here's what most developers miss about Microsoft Teams... 🤔
Everyone talks about chatbots and AI agents for Teams. But if you want a quick win when building apps inside your organization, Microsoft Teams is a perfect spot for your next enterprise or line of business web app.
Why? Because it runs right inside the Teams client. You immediately get a thick desktop client, native tablet and mobile clients, and web access—all without building separate applications. 😮
Your app can be pinned to the left rail just like the Calendar or Chat app, giving you a full immersive experience. Teams admins can install and push these apps to all employees or specific groups automatically. Think about your time reporting, sales dashboards, or department-specific tools for different groups in your organization.
The best part? These are just web apps that surface in Teams as an iframe. You host them wherever you want—they don't get deployed to Teams or Microsoft 365. The only thing you deploy to Teams is a manifest: a zip file containing three files that tells Teams about your app and two images for branding.
That's what this live workshop by Andrew Connell, Learn Microsoft Teams App Development, will teach you how to do!
Whether you're looking to:
- Build enterprise web apps that run inside Microsoft Teams without separate deployments
- Understand tabs, dialogs, and single sign-on for Teams apps
- Learn which Microsoft Teams SDKs to actually use (despite Microsoft's confusing guidance)
- Master data storage options and deployment strategies for production apps
- Create channel tabs, group chat tabs, and personal apps with confidence
- Leverage your existing web development skills in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem
- Get your line of business apps in front of users where they already work
This course covers it all. You'll get:
- Complete understanding of the Microsoft Teams app development model and manifest configuration
- How to set up your complete development environment and toolchain
- Best practices for building client-side web parts and custom property panes
- Hands-on experience building channel tabs, group chat tabs, and personal tabs
- Real-world patterns for implementing single sign-on and authentication
- Best practices for data storage, deployment strategies, and CDN hosting
- Deep dive into dialogs for capturing user input
- Developer tooling setup and troubleshooting techniques
- Production-ready development practices you can apply immediately
This workshop is tailored for web developers and enterprise developers aiming to deliver business solutions through Microsoft Teams.
By attending, you'll gain the expertise to create professional Teams apps that leverage modern web development practices and deliver real value to your organization without the complexity of managing multiple client applications.
Andrew has a commanding knowledge of MS Teams development. His demos included fully developed solutions that will be a tremendous help to our company as a reference for how to implement Teams apps, message extensions, and bots. I appreciated Andrew's regular checks of our understanding of the material and his offers to resolve any questions or difficulties.

The Accelerator opened my eyes to a myriad of opportunities and tools that I hadn't explored before, expanding my repertoire and providing me with a richer toolbox for tackling client challenges. The course not only reinforced my existing skills but also unearthed new avenues for creativity and innovation in the Teams app landscape. It's amazing how a bit of exploration can exponentially broaden the horizons of what's possible. Learning together is incredibly valuable! This is not directly related to Teams dev, but is more about the way the course was structured. The world of developing apps for Microsoft Teams is complex, and the 'road' is very winding. I highly recommend joining this Accelerator if you get the opportunity. Engaging in conversations with peers allows for the exchange of ideas and perspectives, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.

Point Taken ASWhen it comes to Microsoft 365 development you won't find a better instructor, mentor, or subject matter expert than Andrew Connell. If one exists, they aren't teaching a class! If you want to learn how to develop solutions in Teams using the toolkit, then this is the class for you. Andrew does an amazing job teaching this material. The website is good, the modules work, and it’s all very professionally delivered. I knew going in that it was going to be a challenge, however, the course materials did a great job of helping me understand and complete each module successfully.

AmStyI 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.

Andrew Connell is the man. I loved his Microsoft Teams AppDev cohort group that he set up. I had a ton of questions throughout the course and it was very comforting to know that I had this expert and group to get answers to my questions. Most of the time Andrew knew the answer off the top of his head. When he didn't, he knew where to go, how to find the answer, and how to teach me how to find the answer. I love all of that! His demos were very good, easy to follow, and ask questions along the way. We can also ask questions slightly related and even unrelated questions to the current topics we covered. That's the point of the cohort - you have a group that you can collaborate with who are happy to help you, including but not just limited to Andrew! I also loved Andrew's responsiveness. Several times he answered my questions thoroughly faster than his original promise of a 24-hour turn-around. Overall I love that I have a community to go to going forward, even after the course! I can't thank you enough Andrew! I hope others continue to join your group going forward!
