SharePoint Dev Weekly - Episode 65 - 8th of January 2020
Wednesday Jan 08, 2020
Wednesday Jan 08, 2020
In this session of SharePoint Dev Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), discuss the latest news and topics around SharePoint development.
In addition to drawing attention to the latest advancements being delivered by the SharePoint Community and Microsoft, Vesa and Waldek's discussion this week focused on: Predictions for 2020.
While making no promises, the direction of Microsoft engineering is focused on delivering Microsoft 365 cross platform services while the development side of the house is focused on a single unified UX framework among other things. Both sides share a common and broad intent to deliver consolidated and cohesive experiences to users and developers in 2020. From Waldek's perspective, a cross platform SDK for SharePoint and simplification of consumption licensing are worthy targets for 2020. Additionally, it is hoped that supportive, sharing is caring, and the "We" development community driven efforts will continue to flourish. As well, the continued evolution/consolidation of connected cross platform building blocks that enable developers and non-developers to efficiently deliver cross platform solutions for their customers.
Have ideas? Please reach out to Vesa and/or Waldek with your ideas or how to make developers, users, guidance more successful.

SharePoint Dev Weekly - Episode 61 - 26th of November 2019
Tuesday Nov 26, 2019
Tuesday Nov 26, 2019
In this session of SharePoint Dev Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), discuss the latest news and topics around SharePoint development.
In this episode Vesa and Waldek are joined by Bert Jansen Senior Service Engineer at Microsoft. Bert is focused on the modernization journey and on tools that simplify SharePoint adoption.
In addition to drawing attention to the latest advancements being delivered by the SharePoint Community and Microsoft, Vesa, Waldek and Bert’s discussion this week focused on Modernization. The case for waiting to transform because modern does not have the same capabilities as classic is no longer valid. Modern has more capabilities, some of which are available only in SPO. The bottlenecks to adoption discussed: 1) Not sure what needs to be modernized 2) Not sure what tools to use and 3) Not sure I want to lose my customizations.
What is the future for modern? One sure direction is the creation of “PnP services.” In the not too distant future the customer will no longer need to download and configure the latest transformation tools. Instead the site admin or site collection admin will go to a webpage or API, enter a few details and then initiate the scan or migration. Behind the scenes, the latest tool/code is invoked to execute on the request.
