Test - Driven Development with SharePoint, Office 365 und Visual Studio

This session follows on from my Lean-Agile SharePoint Development talk in Copenhagen, 2013 and goes deeper into test-driven development (TDD) with practical examples. In particular we’ll take a deeper dive into building unit and integration tests and see how these can be used as part of the TDD cycle. SharePoint 2013 continues to support the "traditional" SharePoint development model and we will take an in-depth look at ways of using TDD practices, which can be a challenge. But in addition in SharePoint 2013 we now have the "SharePoint Add-in" development model with the emphasis on client-side development. Now we have a new set of technologies and development patterns. Prepare for a headlong dive into the brave new world (for us) of client-side JavaScript testing and development best-practices. In this session you will:- Learn about TDD practices and motivation- TDD techniques for both server-side and client-side development- Find out about test frameworks and techniques

Building Office add-ins with Visual Studio

If you ever built, or considered building an application for Office you are probably familiar with Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO). Now with the 2013 iteration we have moved to the "Add-in model" for Office applications and that is a good thing. Now we can use our front-end web development skills to deliver Office Add-ins. In this session we will build solutions that will give our Office users tools that can take advantage of the new APIs along with other endpoints integrated into the environment they use every day. You can deliver a huge amount of business value with surprisingly little effort.Learn how to build Office Add-ins using the same skills we use for SharePoint, web development, Windows and mobile appsUse the power of the Office 365 platform to deliver contextually relevant informationExtend our existing SharePoint infrastructure to enhance user productivityDeliver solutions that can be used on Windows, iOS and soon Android and MacOS devices.

Integrating Office UI fabric in your APP's

Now that we are all creating add-ins in SharePoint or on Office 365. It is important that these add-ins look and feel the same as if Microsoft would have built them. Office UI fabric enables you to use a set of controls that Microsoft also uses on Office 365. During this session you will get an overview of the capabilities from Office UI fabric and how you can integrate this in your own add-ins.

Creating a Great User Experience in SharePoint

Building solutions in SharePoint isn’t simply about getting the functionality right based on the business requirements. Developers must think about the entire user experience (UX), which goes far beyond the technical aspects of the solution. It’s no longer good enough to meet the specifications. We must exceed them in terms of usability. This takes many developers out of their comfort zones and into the messy world of end users.In this interactive session, we’ll discuss questions like:* How should the user feel when they use this piece of functionality?* Will they perceive that this functionality saves them work or creates new work?* How will the functionality compare to what they see on the consumer Web?* How can we use technologies which haven’t historically been considered mainstream SharePoint developer tools (like jQuery and CSS) to make SharePoint feel more like the sites people love?We’ll look at good and bad examples from SharePoint itself as well as specific customizations.

Alternative Approaches to Solution Development in Office 365

We regularly hear about the importance of building Apps or Add-Ins from the Microsoft folks. But in many cases, that approach is overkill. Even in enterprises, all solutions aren’t enterprise scale. It’s always been possible to build solid solutions or solution components using the trusty Content Editor Web Part to hold some HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, and that’s still a viable approach. With a few other more modern tricks, we can even build solutions that span many pages using a common code base. Join Marc D Anderson as he kicks around the plusses and minuses of sanctioned development versus smaller, lighter-touch approaches.

Remote timer jobs and batch processing with Office 365

You can also build scheduled operations in the Office 365 and SharePoint using add-in model techniques. Technology and approaches are slightly different compared to the classic SharePoint server side timer jobs, but business logic and process can be identical. In this session we’ll concentrate on how to build scheduled operations for Office 365 and SharePoint using add-in model techniques. These are commonly needed for governance or long running operations. We’ll also cover so called asynchronous processing pattern for long running operations without scheduled delays. Session will concentrate mainly on how to do this within Office 365 using Azure components, but we’ll also reference on-premises side in our presentation.

Site collection and site provision – Why to move away from feature framework?

Everything in SharePoint starts by creating a new site or site collections. One of the reasons for the success of the SharePoint has been extremely powerful templating system with site definitions, site templates and web templates. In this session we’ll concentrate on covering the challenges around classic feature framework based provision and how you should be provisioning templated sites in the future with remote provisioning. We’ll concentrate on the detailed background reasons why the feature framework should not be your default model for provisioning elements or sites in SharePoint or in Office 365.

Extending Authentication and Authorization

In the two latest versions of SharePoint, we have seen how Claims-based authentication have taken over the traditional Windows and FBA authentication. Now we have federated identity with services such as Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) and Azure Active Directory (AAD) and the authorization is handled by OAuth in the app model. But still, the vast majority of the deployments still use plain vanilla AD or LDAP authentication, without exploiting its flexibility and adaptability to a variety of scenarios. In this session you will learn how to extend the authentication and authorization with custom claim providers, claim augmentation and transformation.Learn how to leverage ADFS with SharePoint for identity federation, Get to know how to build your custom claims providers, Model your SharePoint security model on claims, extending and transforming them
