Introduction to Office Development Topics

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Create a new Office 365 Development Tenant 1 year up to 25 users
  2. SharePoint will also support open source tooling to drive greater efficiencies when developing Parts and Apps. These tools should not be considered a replacement of an organizations traditional tools, but rather an extension of those, providing new opportunities to quickly get up and running with SharePoint development. If you’re familiar with Visual Studio development with SharePoint, this tools carry a lot of similarities with the tools you may already be familiar with for example: Yeoman provides a generator ecosystem. A generator is basically a plugin that can be run with the `yo` command to scaffold complete projects or useful parts. yo scaffolds out a new application, writing your build configuration (e.g Gruntfile, Gulpfile) and pulling in relevant build tasks and package manager dependencies (Bower, npm) that you might need for your build. This is similar to Project Scaffolding in Visual Studio. Gulp Automation - gulp is a toolkit that helps you automate painful or time-consuming tasks in your development workflow. Platform-agnostic - Integrations are built into all major IDEs and people are using gulp with PHP, .NET, Node.js, Java, and other platforms. Strong Ecosystem - Use npm modules to do anything you want + over 2000 curated plugins for streaming file transformations Simple - By providing only a minimal API surface, gulp is easy to learn and simple to use Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. Node.js' package ecosystem, npm, is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world. event driven JavaScript runtime, Node is designed to build scalable network applications similar to VS SharePoint development: Gulp = MSBuild, NodeJS = IIS (Express), YeoMan = project scafolding in VS, TypeScript= typed superset of JavaScript
