In just over two months, I’ll be at the at the 365 EduCon (SPFest) conference in Seattle presenting a full day workshop & few sessions for Microsoft 365 & Azure professional developers!
Not only is this is expected to be a great conference, but I’m especially excited as it’s the first in-person conference for me since the world stopped in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I can’t wait to see old friends and interact with attendees at the show!
TechCon365 (SPFest) Seattle in May 2022
One of the biggest reasons I’ll like these 365 EduCon (formerly SPFest) conferences is the size… it’s an ideal size for the attendees and speakers to interact. This is commonly referred to as the hallway track where attendees and speakers have an opportunity to interact and expand on the topic covered in the session or just general networking stuff. Make sure you take advantage of this!
Full-day Workshop: (WRK402) Developers! Learn how to use the SharePoint Framework to Customize and Extend SharePoint
The best way you can customize and extend your SharePoint site is using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx). This model is the way you customize and extend the SharePoint modern experience for SharePoint Online.
If you are an experienced solution-based SharePoint developer or new to the SharePoint platform, this workshop is for you. You’ll learn how to get started installing everything you need on your workstation for developing with the SharePoint Framework before we dive in to building solutions.
By the end of the day, you’ll know how to build web parts, single-page apps, as well as various types of extensions including application customizers, field customizers, & list view command sets).
I’ve taught this workshop multiple times in the past, but for this conference, I’ve poured a lot of time into revamping and refreshing it. If you’re just getting started with SPFx, have a little or moderate experience with SPFx, this workshop is for you!
You’ll learn everything you need to know how to get started with SPFx. I’m even going to spend some time demonstrating how you can use React to build your custom components using React Hooks!

Breakout Session: (AZR302) Azure AppInsights: Add telemetry & monitoring to your Microsoft 365 apps!
A web app, but how well is it running? What about your Microsoft Teams or SharePoint apps? Do you know how people are using your apps? In this session, you will learn what Azure Application Insights is, a service Microsoft Azure and what you can do with it.
