2. Building Next Generation Portals for Office 3659:30amto10:45am

AtMicrosoft Offices,Broadway, 5th Floor - 5202

For years SharePoint has been positioned as a web development platform, but its hard to build modern web sites using SharePoints rigid UI, which is rooted in decade-old WebForms technology. These solutions often break when SharePoint is upgraded,either in a migration from SharePoint 2013 to 2016, or really at any moment with SharePoint online!

In this talk youll learn how to follow the patterns Microsoft uses in its NextGen portals and build your own modern application using SharePoint and Office 365 as a set of services. These solutions are responsive and can be developed using contemporaryASP.NETMVC technology. Content is stored in SharePoint or Office 365, and is enhanced through the machine learning in Office Graph. Youll even learn how to include your own line of business data without the need for complex BCS configurations. Join us and learn to make your own Next Generation portal backed by SharePoint and Office 365!
