PnP Weekly - Episode 103 - 2nd of November 2020

In this installment of the weekly discussion revolving around the latest news and topics on Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft) | @vesajuvonen, Waldek Mastykarz (Microsoft) | @waldekm, are joined by Darrel Miller (Microsoft) | @darrel_miller, Developer, Evangelist, and API Architect on the Microsoft Graph (Developer Experience) team.  The team that creates developer tooling - Graph Explorer, Graph SDK, Documentation, and the API Review Board that helps other M365 teams (approx. 50) expose (with consistency) their APIs in Microsoft Graph. 

Discussion on challenges getting developers to use the APIs, the _v2 property, evolution of the SDK, Microsoft Identity Web.MicrosoftGraph, auto-generated code, API surface quality control, and the Graph “no breaking change policy.”   Microsoft Graph’s fundamental mission is making life easier for developers by rigorously coordinating consistency, non-duplication, and usage of the API surface by both Microsoft and partner developers.  Coverage on 17 recently released articles and videos from Microsoft and the PnP Community are highlighted as well.  This episode was recorded on Monday, November 2, 2020.
