- 5. Mindset
- 6. Stop being a SharePoint developer and think more broadly with Web Development BECOME A WEB DEVELOPER • SharePoint is a web platform, consider it like any other • Think Cross-Platform and multiple devices • Client-Side technologies is the future of web development, so it is with SharePoint and Office 365 Development • Leverage APIs instead of direct connection to data
- 7. Living in the cloud will bring more innovation to the table PRETEND TO LIVE IN THE CLOUD • Microsoft learns from the cloud to enhance their On-Premises solutions, that is a great option for you too • Think differently with cloud approaches and techniques • Be up for the challenge by developing cloud-first for any solution • Use Office 365 as your main development environment
- 8. The new Office 365 Development space will transform your habits MOVE FAST • Stay up to date with newest and greatest web technologies • Don’t hesitate to change and evolve with technology • Be curious, try things, fail fast • Embrace agile methodologies
- 9. AGENDA

- 15. Office 365 Apps gives you full control while keeping the user in its productivity context INTEGRATION OPPORTUNITIES • Office 365 Apps • Leverage your Office 365 data by creating an external application • Technology-agnostic as you can develop in your preferred platform • Manage the lifecycle by communicating with Office 365 using its APIs • Integrate to the rest of the Office 365 ecosystem thanks to the App Launcher
- 16. Demo
- 17. JavaScript is the preferred language for cloud integrations within the ecosystem TECHNOLOGY STACK • JavaScript • Using the latest versions of the standards • TypeScript • ECMAScript 5 & 6 • Using UI frameworks to build better applications faster • React • Knockout • AngularJS • Office UI Fabric • Gaining access to all open source frameworks that will make you more productive • As a universal language to allow you to create code for the client & for the server
- 18. Demo
- 19. NodeJS is now the de-facto language for web developers and their tooling TECHNOLOGY STACK • NodeJS • As a web server to replace IIS • As a package manager to replace NuGet packaged • As a scaffolder to easily create files and folder structures to replace Visual Studio • As a task runner to automate tasks of your development workflow • As a bundler to package your files to replace MSBuild • As a server-side language to perform data access or complex logics
- 20. .NET (and .NET Core) are very convenient ways to extend SharePoint and Office 365 TECHNOLOGY STACK • .NET (Core) • As a web server to host static files and DLLs • As a server-side language to perform data access or complex logics • As a server-side language to perform event-based actions • As the only valid way to communicate with a SharePoint environment no matter where he is located with CSOM

Editor's Notes
- #2: Imagine a future where silo'd departments and legacy processes don’t stand in our way. Today’s collaboration needs go from complex collaboration portals to simple innovation hubs and most importantly need to work for our devices. Designing portals to enable a new kind of collaboration and communication is an absolute necessity today. For the past couple years, I’ve had the opportunity to study how successful teams collaborate and have helped to transform the way teams work and collaborate together. In this session, I'll share what I’ve learned about making effective cross-discipline collaboration possible, and leave you with actionable approaches you can use to unite your team's communication and collaboration needs. IN THIS SESSION YOU’LL HEAR: • Why cross-discipline collaboration is essential to future-ready digital design, and how you can play a key role in creating the cross-departmental teams to enable innovation • Real-life industry examples of what it takes to make effective collaboration possible • Practical techniques you can use to bridge silos, increase productivity, and deliver better outcomes for your teams
