Are you a web developer who wants to learn the SharePoint Framework (SPFx)? For some developers, self-paced courses work great, just like our Mastering the SharePoint Framework has helped over 1,700 developers! However, some students want a more interactive experience.
After launching the Microsoft Teams App Dev Accelerator, a few companies requested private accelerators focused on the SharePoint Framework. Now that I’ve delivered a few of these throughout the year, I’m excited to share a new SPFx learning experience!
Building off the success of my Microsoft Teams App Dev Accelerator program, I’m now accepting registrations for our first SharePoint Framework Accelerator cohort!
