Since SharePoint 2013, the SharePoint developer profile has dramatically changed. The App Model was announcing the shift in Microsoft’s strategy to push Cloud-Based Applications. In terms of development, whether you target on-premise or online versions, Add-Ins should be the only way to go.
In that context, Azure PaaS has a lot to offer and should be mastered by any SharePoint developer. In this session, developers will learn:
– What are the main building blocks Azure PaaS has to offer and how to use them when developing SharePoint Solutions
– How to use ADAL in order to connect to any SaaS (SharePoint Online, Yammer, Power BI etc…)
– The pros and cons of SharePoint Add-Ins vs Azure Active Directory Applications
– How to map a regular FARM Solution component with an Azure component
– How to tackle hybrid scenarios without VPN by leveraging the Service Bus, Biztalk Services and the Application Proxy.
After this session, developers will be able to envision using Azure PaaS for SharePoint Online and SharePoint On-Prem solutions. All the demos and examples will be inspired from real-world projects.
This session was delivered at the Collab365 Global Conference 2015 and was presented by Stephane Eyskens.
