PnP Weekly - Episode 76 - 23rd of March 2020

In this session of PnP Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), and typically a special guest from the PnP Community, discuss the latest news and topics around Microsoft 365 development. This week, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Brett Lonsdale – Office Apps and Services MVP, owner of UK based Lightning Tools developing “gap filler” products like BDC Meta Man and Lightning Conductor for the Microsoft 365 Suite. Topics of discussion included:  Decreasing time between release and adoption, improved product use experience as a result of adopting SPFx, building personal apps (including Social-Squared - discussion forum tool) for Microsoft Teams and using Microsoft Graph to connect with apps and data across the M365 suite.

As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.
