Julie has been building software for over 20 years. With a degree in Electrical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, she quickly realized a love and aptitude for developing rich user experiences and solutions. Since 2007 her focus has been on the SharePoint platform, Office 365, Azure, and client-side development. She's a co-maintainer of PnPjs and hTWOo open-source initiatives. She also is the co-host of the CloudDev Clarity show and Browser Native. She's also has been awarded the Microsoft MVP for Office Apps and Services since 2017 and is a core member of the Microsoft 365 PnP Team.
Managing Multiple tenants in Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 uses the concept of a "tenant" to securely isolate each customer's data, users, and permissions, even as they are running on shared infrastructure. Most applications run within a single tenant, and would require a separate copy of the app for each tenant.
In this session, you'll gain a deep understanding of tenants and the new Multi-Tenant Organizations (MTO) feature. We’ll demystify the various types of users – internal, external, members, and guests – and show how they work for users and Entra ID administrators. Then you'll learn how enterprise and 3rd party applications work within this environment, how to write multi-tenant apps, and how to manage access as a tenant admin.
This is not only important to software vendors who sell SaaS solutions to many customers, it’s also relevant to customers who find themselves with multiple tenants due to mergers and acquisitions and other partnerships. Please attend to fully understand how multitenancy works in Microsoft 365, Microsoft Graph, and the apps you write and use every day!
Getting Started with PnPjs
PnPjs is a collection of fluent libraries for consuming SharePoint, Graph, and Microsoft 365 REST APIs in a type-safe way. You can use it within SharePoint Framework, Teams development, Nodejs, or any JavaScript project. If you're calling these APIs in any other way, you're doing development on hard mode!
In this session 2 of the maintainers of this incredibly popular open-source framework will show you how to get started and to take advantage of this powerful tool.
Extending Microsoft 365: Exploring the Art of the Possible
Ever felt like the world of Microsoft 365 is a maze? You’re not alone! In this session, we’ll take a journey together through real-life examples where we’ve turned the complexity of Microsoft 365 into simple, automated solutions.
We’ll start from the basics, exploring out-of-the-box and low-code options, and gradually move towards creating custom self-hosted solutions. Extending Microsoft 365 is not limited to just creating web parts and by the end of this session, you’ll be inspired to see how you can make Microsoft 365 work for you in ways you’ve never imagined before. So, whether you’re a beginner or have some experience under your belt, join us as we unravel the exciting possibilities of extending Microsoft 365!
Level up workflow with Webhooks
Mature organizations that use Microsoft 365 often need to run custom workflows when events happen in Microsoft 365, like updating list items, adding users, updating groups, or changing files. When there's only a single list or library, or other single event items, it can make sense to use a tool like Power Automate or an Azure Logic Apps. However, these tools require connecting a workflow to a specific entity (list, library, drive) making these solutions difficult to manage when there are many of the same types of items to monitor. Enter stage left: Webhooks.
To be clear, webhooks are not a power user tool; they require the ability to architect and manage cloud resources and write enterprise level code. But the benefits and scalability make it well worth the time investment! In this session you'll learn about:
• What webhooks are and what are some of the common use cases they can help solve
• What common architectural pattern for managing your subscriptions and events looks like
• What cloud services are commonly used to support the common architecture
• What boilerplate code looks like to establish and manage subscriptions and react to event notifications
• Where and how you might implement custom handlers for establishing what subscriptions are needed and what happens when an event is fired.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to manage workflows at scale to reduce risk and simplify management!
Design + Development: A Case Study
When designers and developers meet each other where they're at, wonderful things can happen. This session will focus on sharing the design and development workflow that we've evolved and refined over the past four plus years of collaboration. Starting from requirements we'll move though our process of architecture, design, style development (html + css), through development (Type/Java Script) to QA, and finally release.
Build Solutions for Microsoft 365 with a Fluent API Library
For the most part, your imagination is the limit when it comes to extending the Microsoft 365 platform. Join me for a complete look at the PnPjs library, a collection of fluent libraries for consuming SharePoint and Microsoft Graph REST APIs that make building solutions 10x easier and faster. This free, open-source initiative, part of the Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community can be used within the SharePoint Framework, NodeJS, or any JavaScript/TypeScript based project.
This session will cover using the library within the SharePoint Framework and Azure Functions NodeJS project. We'll cover:
• How to get started, your project template, and establishing context
• An overview of all the packages available and outline the ease of use
• More advanced scenarios like batching and cross site execution.
An Introduction to Atomic React Component Design in SPFx and Beyond
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.
Building reusable code libraries for extending Microsoft 365
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 code artifact, and then consuming that library and others together within a SharePoint framework solution while hosting the artifacts in an Azure CDN (or bundling it in if that's more appropriate). 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.
