Office 365 Developer Patterns and Practices–June 2015 release

  • [アーティクル]

Office 365 Developer Patterns and Practices June 2015 release is out with new contributions from community for the others in the community. This post contains all the details related on what was included with the release and what else has been happening in the PnP world during the past month.

What is Office 365 Developer Patterns and Practices (PnP)?

PnP is community driven open source project where Microsoft and external community members are sharing their learning's around implementation practices for Office 365 and SharePoint on-premises (add-in model). Active development and contributions happen our GitHub project under Dev branch and each month there will be a master merge (monthly release) with more comprehensive testing and communications.

This is work done by the community for the community without any actual full time people. It’s been great to find both internal and external people who are willing to assist and share their learning's for the benefit of others. This way we can build on the common knowledge of us all. Currently program is facilitated by Microsoft, but already at this point we have multiple community members as part of the Core team and we are looking to extend the Core team with more community members.

Notice that since this is open source community program, there’s no SLAs for the support what we provide from program. There is however highly active PnP Yammer group, where you can get fast support on any questions around the existing materials. If you are interested on getting more closely involved, please check the following guidance from our GitHub wiki.

PnP Guidance articles

The PnP Guidance repository has been setup for working on articles. Part of these articles are already available on MSDN and more will follow. Everyone can contribute or update these articles via updating them in GitHub and the changes will flow back to MSDN once the synchronization setup has been completed.

Right now we are working on specific App Model Recipes (>30 articles overall) in this area together with Todd Baginski where Todd is collecting the key guidance from the Core team and community for collecting the learning's and recommendations with specific topics. You are more than welcome to also contribute on this work by providing input and feedback.

There's already a significant amount of articles that has been added to the PnP MSDN node at https://aka.ms/OfficeDevPnPMSDN

In the this release the following new articles have been added:

PnP Guidance videos

Guidance videos are available from the PnP Channel 9 section. These are the new videos released last month, but be sure to check the older ones as well, if you’re interested on seeing PnP material live.

What next?

We will have a one month break with the monthly releases (master merge) during July, but the development continues in the Dev branch. Next master merge will happen 3rd of August. We are also looking into splitting the PnP repository to logical smaller repositories based on the use case and start creating more content related for example Office add-in and Office 365 APIs.

More details on the upcoming changes and plans from the June Community Call on 9th of June (8 AM PST).
