April 20th – 22nd 2015 saw London play host to SharePoint Evolutions conference. It was a great event organised with so many quality speakers and companies in attendance. It was a privilege to be invited to speak again. This year I had two sessions as you can see below.
Introducing App Launcher
Delivered by: Wes Hackett
Audience: Office 365, Information Worker, Developer
A new feature of Office 365 is the ‘app launcher’ and ‘my apps’ features. These new features provide a new style of navigation experience where all your apps are available from the Office 365 suite bar and the ability for a user to pin their preferred apps. This session introduces the features and the extensibility approaches to have your own apps interact with it.
Yammer development deep dive
Delivered by: Wes Hackett
Audience: Office 365, Developer
Many organisations are considering leveraging Yammer as their Enterprise Social Network (ESN). Office 365 has already taken some steps to integrate the Yammer capabilities by replacing the SharePoint newsfeed and introducing the document conversations. The reality is that these integrations are only the tip of the iceberg with regards the integrations you can achieve with Yammer.
This demo centric session covers in detail the integration options and the steps that a developer or architect can take to bring Yammer into use for a scenario.
We’ll walkthrough:
- Learn how the Yammer Embed can bring conversations into SharePoint article pages.
- How to post information into your Yammer network from other systems using OpenGraph.
- Learn how to use the REST API to discover groups, messages, topics, users and perform advanced searches against the network.
- Take a look at the cutting edge Azure Logic App and Yammer connector
If you were an attendee you can also watch the DVD of the sessions.
