An Introduction to the SharePoint Framework Development Model

There are big changes coming to SharePoint development. There's a whole new way of building web parts and customising SharePoint using the new SharePoint Framework which is designed to be fast and lightweight. We'll focus on what this means as a developer in the Office365 and SharePoint space taking a close look at building a "client web part" - using a modern, node.js based, web stack including Yeoman, TypeScript, and Gulp. We'll look at where popular JavaScript frameworks such as Angular and React fit in. We’ll also show some of the preview tools from Microsoft's private Dev Kitchen event to help you understand the development process. This session will jump-start your understanding of this approach and how you can use modern web development tools to be a much more productive developer.
