365 EduCon DC - A Microsoft 365 Conference

Room 149b

This introductory session will get you started with learning how to use the Microsoft Graph in your applications. It will focus on the various applications you can build, the permission model, the various endpoints you can interact with and the many OAuth Flows you can choose from based on the type of application you are building. Microsoft Graph is the gateway to data and intelligence in Microsoft 365. It provides a unified programmability model that you can use to access the tremendous amount of data in Microsoft 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility + Security. This session will use both browser-based methods, Postman, and some easy to understand code to illustrate the concepts through various demos.

The SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is a development model for building solutions across Microsoft 365 suite. It allows building applications for SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Viva Connections.

But the additional beauty of SPFx is the community support!

This session will cover resources that Microsoft 365 PnP Community provides for SPFx developers.

The current version of the Yeoman generator for the SPFx still uses the older-style React class components. Because that’s what you get by default, that’s what most developers end up using. 

But functional components enabled by React hooks have become widely popular. So… until Microsoft updates the Yeoman generator, learn how to quickly change your new projects to functional components enabling React Hooks in just a few minutes. 

Then we’ll explore how you can use popular React hooks in your projects, like useState(), useEffect(), and more!

Leverage React Hooks in SharePoint Framework Solutions

When programming with ReactJS, which is a common choice when developing using the SharePoint Framework, how you architect your components can often be confusing. 

This introductory session will walk through designing your components to mirror a common design principle called "Atomic Design" which was invented by web designer Brad Frost. This design pattern breaks web design into small chunks that when combined build beautiful solutions with reusability at its core. 

We'll go into how to translate that design principle into component development which can help reduce code size, improve reliability and quality, and just make your life easier. As part of our examples, we'll be leveraging the HTWOO community built Fluent UI framework.

An Introduction to Atomic React Component Design in SPFx and Beyond

Our users are spending more and more time using Teams. It makes sense to try and reduce the friction of context switching by bringing our custom applications directly into Teams where they are working. We are able to harness the collaborative nature of Teams and SharePoint in one application and render it in many different contexts. 

In this introductory developer session we will look at how to create and deploy a SharePoint Framework WebPart and have it be usable in Teams. We will use one code base to make the web part Teams aware in both a Teams Tab and a Personal App. We will look at how to use that app to read and write data into SharePoint using PnPjs.

Users will leave with an understanding of how to leverage SPFx to create applications they can use in Teams and resources on how to explore this further. 


Creating Custom Applications in Teams Using the SharePoint Framework

Join me for a complete look at the PnPjs library, a collection of fluent libraries for consuming SharePoint, Microsoft Graph, and Office 365. This free, open source initiative, part of the PnP community, can be used within the SharePoint Framework, Nodejs, or any JavaScript project.

This session will demo specifically on using the library within the SharePoint Framework. 

We'll cover:
  - How to get started establishing context
  - An overview of all the packages available and outline the ease of use
  - More advanced scenarios like batching, cross site execution, and extending with behaviors

With the recent release of version 3 this session will help get you up to speed fast with what's new and what's changed. 


PnPjs and the SharePoint Framework: Version 3 - What's New

The session shows how to use PnP Reusable Controls to quickly create beautiful and functional SharePoint Framework web parts

Create Beautiful Web Parts in Minutes Using PnP Reusable Controls

For many global organizations, keeping track of the different office and department locations can be challenging. 

In this session, you will see how we solved this real-world challenge using out of the box SharePoint components and customizations through the PnP Modern Search Web Parts. 

You will leave with an understanding of how to leverage custom Content Types, Lists, and custom templates for the PnP Modern Search Web Parts to create a dynamic directory of locations for your organization.

Building Location Directory using PnP Search Web Part

Microsoft Graph Toolkit (MGT) has versioned up as well as made investments in new components such as Files, Search, and Teams/ACS Chat. In this session come and share your feedback as well as see how these new investments can enrich your next (or current) SaaS application building on Microsoft 365. This session will illustrate through a sample App all that you can do in a few minutes to go from idea to an application ready. 

Whats new in the Microsoft Graph Toolkit

In this introductory developer session, we will talk about the functionality released in SPFx that supports list form customizers. This functionality allows developers to create a customized user interface for forms in SharePoint lists or libraries enhancing the user experience and providing the ability to include custom logic into the form. 

In this session we will create our first list form customizer and attach it to a SharePoint list. We will also look at how to enhance the user experience through the use of a Fluent UI design system. 

Attendees will leave with an understanding of how to create their first list form customizers and have resources to support further exploration. All are welcome and while development experience isn’t necessary for this session, we will be looking at code and talking about SPFx and React.

Introduction to Custom List Forms Using SPFx

SharePoint Framework is not just a SharePoint development framework as it could seem from the name.

It allows to develop solutions that are available in Teams, Outlook and office.com.

Join me during this session to learn how to easily implement SPFx web part and expose it in all available hosts.

Expanding SharePoint Framework Web Parts in Teams, Office and Outlook

The SharePoint framework introduced libraries as a project type, and although useful for very small development projects not ideal for bigger enterprise solutions and ALM strategies. 

This session is going to cover end to end building a library with standard web-based building blocks, using Azure Dev Ops to create a private NPM package, and then consuming that library and others together within a SharePoint framework solution while hosting the artifacts in an Azure CDN. 

This is powerful reusability that allow you to manage the lifecycle of different components in a way that mimics all the other packages you might consume when building your solution.


Building 'NPM' style code libraries for use with SharePoint Framework

Do you know where your SharePoint Framework (SPFx) components are running? What sites and pages are using it? What versions are they using? And now that SPFx components can be used outside of SharePoint, including things like Microsoft Teams, Viva Connections, & Office apps. What about how people are using them? Are they web apps, desktop apps, or mobile apps? These things are key to building better apps & troubleshooting issues… it’s basic analytics!

Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn’t give us any tools to figure this out, but with just a little bit of code & Azure Application Insights, you can have a robust reporting solution that does just this, and in this session, I’ll show you how to do it without much effort.
