REST and OData

SharePoint provides REST/OData endpoints to communicate with exposing the same operations as CSOM does. One of the advantages of using the REST/OData APIs is that you are no longer tied to .NET or JavaScript for development, but have the choice of any webtechnology, server- or client-side.

  • The SharePoint REST APIs
  • Authentication
  • OData Querying Syntax
  • Batch Processing
  • Digest Tokens

Introduction to SharePoint Framework

The SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is the most recent development technology which fits into the modern SharePoint development story, providing support for client-side SharePoint and O365 development, and easy integration with SharePoint and O365 data. This module introduces the SharePoint Framework and discusses the possibilities and the open-source toolset used.

  • SPFx Overview
  • The SharePoint Framework Toolset: Yeoman, npm, gulp, TypeScript and React
  • SPFx Roadmap

Building Client-Side Web Parts with SharePoint Framework

The SharePoint Framework allows us to build modern client-side web parts. During this module, we will create basic webparts and will explore the structure of the webparts and the SPFx projects.

  • Client-side Web Part Fundamentals
  • SPFx Project Structure
  • Adding multiple Web Parts to a Project
  • Creating Full Page Apps
  • LAB: Creating an SPFx webpart

SPFx Deployment Overview

SPFx solutions need to be deployed through a SharePoint App Catalog. In this chapter we will learn what the options are when deploying.

  • What is an App Catalog?
  • Deploying your Bundle and Package
  • Tenant-wide, Site Collection or Site Specific Deployments
  • LAB - Deploying SPFx Projects

The Fluent UI Framework

Making sure your applications share the same look and feel as microsoft 365 can be a challenge. Luckily there is a UI framework, called Fluent UI, which allows you to apply the same look and feel to your applications,so they blend with their environment.

  • Branding your Applications with Fluent UI Framework
  • Fluent UI Styles
  • Fluent UI components

Using the Microsoft Graph Toolkit

Responding to List Events with SharePoint Webhooks

You would like to respond to the manipulation of an item in a SharePoint list or library ? SharePoint allows you to use webhooks, a common HTTP callback method for responding to events. This module will show you how to create SharePoint webhook subscriptions and how to get information about the changes on SharePoint.

  • Webhook Subscriptions and Event Notifications
  • Getting Change Details
  • Debugging Webhooks

Microsoft 365 Patterns and Practices - PnP

Microsoft accomodates the Microsoft 365 Patterns and Practices (PnP) initiative, offering guidance and solutions on how to tackle certain problems when creating functionalities for Microsoft 365. PnP provides us with extensive documentation, tools, libraries and samples
