In this session of PnP Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), and typically a special guest from the PnP Community, discuss the latest news and topics around Microsoft 365 development. This week, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Tracy van der Schyff - Microsoft Office 365 Service and Services MVP, learner, keynote speaker, story teller and blogger focused on explaining technology in simple terms, change management and adoption, residing in South Africa.
Did we mention: Tracy is a prolific blogger? Tracy’s idea of March Madness is 31 days of blogging about Power Platform. Then there is her Office 365 learning journey - 365 posts in 365 days. A full index of Tracy’s posts can be found here - https://tracyvanderschyff.com/blog-index/
Tracy’s Quotes:
- “If you have to wait until you are an expert to share your learning journey, you would never have anything to say."
- “People can learn from how you learn.”
- “Force yourself to learn everyday.”
- “Easier to teach a business person a tech skill than to teach a teckie a business process.”
- “Do things right even when doing small things. Because small projects can become large projects.”
- “Products don't fix problems, people fix problems with products.”
- “Many people need to learn what we have already forgotten.”
- “Try and document”
As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.

SharePoint Team, Microsoft - 17th of March 2020

Tuesday Mar 10, 2020
In this session of PnP Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), and typically a special guest from the PnP Community, discuss the latest news and topics around Microsoft 365 development. This week, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Fabian Williams - Microsoft MVP - Visual Studios Development Technologies and Director for the Intelligent Process automation (IPA) practice at Withum located in Washington D.C.
In addition to Microsoft and Community activities and articles, the group focused on this question: Why should a Teams or SharePoint developer care about Azure Functions? Here are a few reasons:
- Deliver a POC in 5 minutes on your browser
- I can do C# in the cloud
- Modular architecture allows you to build today and easily update functionality in future
- Certificate authentication
- Language of your choice - .NET, Node, PowerShell, Python, etc...
- Capabilities for free like authentication, more bindings and triggers
- Global scalability
- Very extensible.
If you are a SharePoint classic developer today and you are looking to get started using Azure Functions and you use C#, then start by: 1) Moving on-prem DLLs and NuGet packages into Azure Functions, 2) Learn about using Graph bindings and 3) Look at using CDS for storing data that can be exposed across M365 to Power Apps, Power Automate, Mobile Apps.... Ready to set up your first Azure Function? Have a look at the demo delivered days ago by Paolo Pialorsi (PiaSys) – focused on Getting started using PnP PowerShell within Azure Functions to automate operations in Microsoft 365. Paolo starts off by showing viewers how to create an Azure Function (App) based on PowerShell commands, how to connect to a specific tenant, and use certificates rather than login credentials of a service account for authentication.
It is agreed, Fabian needs to return for a conversation Part II focusing on how ML and AI are used to monitor exceptions in AAD and more.
As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.

Microsoft 365 PnP Crew - 10th of March 2020

Wednesday Mar 04, 2020
In this session of PnP Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), and typically a special guest from the PnP Community, discuss the latest news and topics around Microsoft 365 development.
In this episode, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Franck Cornu - Office 365 developer, architect and owner of aequos out of Montreal, Canada. Franck’s strength is bringing and bridging 3 perspectives - Developer, Architect and Functional Consultant, in every customer conversation. His collaborative approach is - define the backlog together, translate to functional requirements, consider functionality available from community and then define requirements for code, test and final delivery. Lately, Franck has been very actively contributing to the PnP Modern SharePoint Search solution web part. Why contribute? He hates doing the same thing over and over again. Sound familiar? For a project - develop something generic (no customer logic) and share it with community and for the same project grab a capability and use it. Community contribution is a 2-way street with many benefits including "useful" development.
As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.

SharePoint Team, Microsoft - 4th of March 2020

Tuesday Feb 25, 2020
In this session of PnP Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), and typically a special guest from the PnP Community, discuss the latest news and topics around Microsoft 365 development.
In this episode, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Karoliina Kettukari – MVP and Microsoft Teams and Office 365 user adoption and change management consultant with Sulava in Helsinki, Finland. Their conversation focuses on the human side of technology deployments, not addressed by the mere roll-out/announcement of a new technology. It is clear, change is constant and change impacts people throughout the entire organization - directly and more often indirectly. A large hurdle and risk to new technology adoption is the perception that this is an IT solution we now need to use as opposed to a tool we wanted and expected because it supports our ongoing business transformation. Three tips for driving successful (change management) adoption include: 1) securing internal resource and management commitment, 2) understanding/communicating this is a continuous journey, and 3) focusing on the human aspects of successfully performing a function rather than focusing on learning a technology.
As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.
