There’s no official blog post to point to yet (I’ll add it when it appears later), but today is a big day for SharePoint! The new SharePoint Framework is ready for its developer preview. UPDATE: Here’s the REAL post. I’ve been watching the Twitter feed from SharePoint Fest Seattle, and Jeff Teper (@jeffteper) announced the…
As promised in our August Sympraxis Newsletter, Julie and I wanted to start a new blog series to explain our new SharePoint client side development pipeline. We’ll each put our own spin on the idea, as our ways of thinking, backgrounds, and blog focuses are a bit different (but totally compatible!), so be sure to…
If you’ve been following the “code-based sandbox solutions on Office 365” saga, you know that there is little time left to fix your existing sandbox solutions in Office 365. See: Microsoft Is Removing Code-Based Sandbox Solutions in SharePoint Online – Be Prepared! Last week, Vesa Juvonen (@vesajuvonen) released a script (New Script Available from Microsoft PnP: Generate…
As I wrote on Monday, the decision to begin removing already deprecated code-based sandbox solutions on SharePoint Online took many people by surprise. Even though the news about the deprecation has been out there since 2014, the abrupt move – especially during a time when many people are on summer vacation – caused consternation for some….
Though Microsoft announced that sandbox solutions with “code” (this is becoming a more confusing distinction than ever with JavaScript becoming a first class coding citizen!) were deprecated back in 2014, last week’s announcement that sandbox code was being shut off caught many people by surprise. There was a post that went up last Friday, July…
I was going to just leave this as a comment on Edin Kapic’s (@ekapic) recent post The dark, hidden side of our technical communities, but I decided I wanted to put it up here instead to make it more visible. (A post usually gets more attention than a comment.) Every time I read something like Edin’s…
Digital content sharing with SharePoint is both a tremendously useful set of features and also a set of capabilities fraught with peril – depending on the type of content and the knowledge level of the person doing the sharing. As most SharePointillists know, SharePoint provides a hierarchical security model. It can get extremely complex either…
Looking at the modified values in Site Contents has always been a quick way to recognize where activity has occurred – if it has. Without running any code we can quickly see if a site has been used recently. (It was easier to eyeball this in SharePoint 2007 in the vertical listing than it is…
One of the big May 4th announcements comes true today, with the release of the Microsoft SharePoint app on iOS. (Yes, we iPhone folks get to have most of the fun!) Read all the details about the release on the Office Blogs. In case you missed the details, the Microsoft SharePoint app for iOS puts “your Intranet…
One of the latest hubbubs in the Office 365 world is around the new Document Library “experience”. (I refuse to use the word “experience” in this sort of context without a little sarcasm and some air quotes.) There’s a new “experience” coming to Office 365 that makes Document Libraries look a lot like the OneDrive…
