The SPFx course is just what I need and is far and away the best dev training course I have participated in. The best online course as well! ...the way you articulate the big picture then step back to a blank canvas and step-thru how to paint that picture layer-by-layer is very effective.

I signed up for the SharePoint Framework course with Andrew about five years ago. This course continues to help me build scalable solutions to this day! Andrew does an amazing job explaining the nuances of SPFx very well and keeps the material fresh and updated with the new SPFx version releases. I am thankful to Andrew for how thoughtfully this course is structured and for the details he includes to carry the message across!

Andrew's course and Discord server have been phenomenal in helping not only skyrocket my SPFx development learnings and speed but also to deobfuscate the SPFx toolsets, core files, and MS caching behaviors and cause/effects of changes to the involved tech stack internals. I have yet to find a single source that goes through things this thoroughly. Thank you Andrew - your training has been invaluable to me!

My experience with coding prior to your course was all on-the-job Excel VBA and a little HTML/Javascript - no formal training or courses. Because of my lack of professional training, I really liked the way your course walked me through a project from setting up the toolchain to creating my first web part, to the more advanced topics like analytics. I also like that you spend time talking about the "why" as well because it shows that there is a thought behind it… good or bad. Thanks again for your course! This course is worth every penny, especially the Ultimate bundle. The Discord community has helped me grow my skills in ways I never would have thought possible.

Bell GullyAs someone who doesn't work as a full-time developer, I've found the 'Mastering the SharePoint Framework' course to be essential. Microsoft's documentation covers the basics, but this course provides the additional context and practical insights I need when working with SPFx. The course has become a reliable reference that I return to when facing specific challenges. It explains the idiosyncrasies of the SharePoint Framework in a way that's accessible and saves considerable time compared to figuring things out through trial and error. For occasional developers like myself, or even regular SharePoint developers, this course offers valuable third-party perspective that bridges the gap between Microsoft's functional documentation and practical implementation.

I have followed Andrew for years, and I believe it was around SharePoint 2007 that I found his blog for the first time. Since then I have learned so many things from his blog posts and courses. So, when I heard that he was going to release his own SPFx course I have no doubt. I just got it when It became available. And I never regretted it. The course provides you with so much useful information and it only to us how to use it. I think right now, this is the best SPFx training on the market!

Harvard Business SchoolAndrew helps you focus on the aspects that are going to be important moving forward. The videos are short, which allows for dividing the process into smaller tasks. No goofy quizzes, thankfully. I also have learned a ton about command line coding and troubleshooting errors. The code samples are super helpful for comparing your code with a completed example. As a citizen developer with mostly CSS experience, I was intimidated by the idea of doing SharePoint development, but I am starting to feel that it could be in reach thanks to this course.

J. Murphy & Sons LimitedI just wanted to say cheers for your persistence at delivering quality learning material, which is helping me retain my position of lead SharePoint Developer. I love the self-paced learning model, I love the enthusiasm and speed of your updates, and your session on leveraging external resources (such as Azure Functions) was an absolute delight for me, as a C# developer of 19 long years! One of my colleagues is a JS wizard, and she churns out every SPFx web part that I design. Now we can start doing real value-add projects for our business where I create APIs an Azure Functions so that we can create web parts with live integration into many of our specialist industry systems, as well as more mainstream platforms such as Dynamics 365. Finally, … I simply want to say thank you. You're doing great work and it is appreciated.

When I started working with SharePoint in 2007, Andrew Connell was one of my most trusted sources for custom development information, as well as honest opinions on the state of the software tooling and community. With the advent of the SharePoint Framework (SPFx), I very quickly came up to speed on what was then (to me) a lot of new information with the help of his Ultimate Bundle of SPFx courses at Voitanos.io. These were so effective that I was quickly the "go-to guy" for SPFx within the large team of consultants where I work.

This course elevated my SPFx development from “just trying to figure it out” to “a level where I could teach others.” Andrew is a master instructor, not just in the content, but also in the media of video training. The videos are sequenced to build on previous lessons, which keeps the learner from being overwhelmed with too much information. The lifetime model allows me to return to lessons as needed to learn a piece that I haven't needed before or to return over and over until I finally understand. If you are interested in becoming a professional SharePoint developer, this will be the best money you ever spend in your professional journey. Andrew has always been accessible to help developers, but the extra access that Ultimate Course customers receive, including the Mastermind group access and monthly Office Hours with Andrew, puts one of the best SharePoint developers in the world only a quick post away from helping you with an issue. Thanks AC for providing this service to the developer community!

Huntington Ingalls IndustriesAndrew is by far THE BEST COMMUNICATOR for learning the SPFx . I learned of his courses first hand at a Microsoft tech conference and was impressed by his knowledge, yes, but how he took a very complex topic, that is hard for traditional on-premises SharePoint developers to approach, and made it feel easy. From that point on I knew I had to get him to teach my team. He came to our site and blew us away with more than just SPFX knowledge, but so much experience with how to integrate Office 365 solutions with on-premises and other cloud services. His video series is top notch and well geared to practical solution development. I took a lot of notes while he taught us on-site, though I have found that his video series has been just as useful. My whole team and organization has had our IT Transformation into the cloud and AI accelerated all thanks to Andrew. His training was worth every penny!

I have followed Andrew's insights since the early days of SharePoint development. He's been an MVP for probably two decades now, and he is one of the OG voices with deep knowledge and original insights that he has shared with the community over the years. But this is something that we all know. When the SPFx came out, I needed a quick crash course to get up to speed and Andrew's "Mastering the SharePoint Framework" just delivered it. He is an outstanding presenter who easily breaks down complex concepts into understandable "bite size" pieces, with an engaging and informative style. His course samples are clear, spot-on the concept and very well organized. Andrew has answered all my questions on advanced topics. He is a great communicator, and I am looking forward to the next lightbulb moment from. Thank you, Andrew!

If you are a web developer considering diving into the Microsoft SharePoint Framework development space, then I highly recommend taking Andrew Connell’s Voitanos SharePoint Framework Development online courses. They cover all aspects of SharePoint Framework Development, progressing logically from beginner to expert levels. Andrew speaks to you clearly and directly, breaking down complex concepts into understandable chunks, such as introducing TypeScript and NodeJS, and evolving into more advanced topics like React vs Angular as a framework for SharePoint Online. As an experienced developer coming from the SharePoint Server development space, Andrew was excellent at explaining the differences and similarities between the SharePoint Server versus SharePoint Online, such as the developer sandbox environments and development toolset. Andrew speaks to you like you're a Full Stack Developer and tells you like it is, as he has not drunk the Microsoft Cool Aid, so start with Mastering the SPFx – Starter course and you will be hooked.

Deutsche Telekom IT GmbHToday I was trying to explain to my 16y old son, about why I got this SPFx course from voitanos.io: I told him, that if you compare the available SharePoint Framework Trainings that I found so far to 'instructions how to clean the floor of a house', most other courses only explain how to go through each room with a broom. Andrew on the other side does not only explain how to sweep and wet clean the floor, but also how to open up the floor boards and look underneath for dust.
