A web developer’s exploration into the capabilities and integration opportunities exposed by O365 and the Office Add-In model.
Like most office workers, we all spend a significant amount of time in our “Microsoft Office” productivity tools. Even email is still a productivity tool. Productivity starts to diminish though if we have to move outside of our Office environment and hunt for information and/or complete business workflow processes.
With the creation of Office 365 Add-Ins, Microsoft has presented web developers with a new opportunity to create rich, engaging and integrated user experiences without having to leave the “experience” of our Office applications. Developers have the ability to create Add-Ins using HTML/JS/CSS and these run in the Windows Client, on the web, on our phones and even on the OS X desktop client.
In this presentation Mark will provide lots of demonstrations of how to get started with Office Add-Ins. These will include: creating your first Add-In in under 2 minutes, how to simplify workflow approval without having to leave your email client, how to pull report and analytics data into your Office product suite applications and how to integrate your content with cognitive analytics. All of this, written without a single line of C#.
Come to the presentation and find out why Office 365 Add-Ins are a modern web developers playground.
This session was delivered at the Collab365 Summit 2016 and was presented by Mark Roden.
