End-to-End Walkthrough of Excel JavaScript Add-in Development
In this webcast, I walk through the end-to-end process of building an Office Add-in for Excel: from launching Visual Studio, to writing a bit of JavaScript code that uses the new Excel 2016 APIs, to adding some basic UI tweaks, to talking through the publishing options, debugging, and more.
For those who wanted to see the solution that is built as part of the walkthrough, I've uploaded it to OneDrive. Download and unzip the file, open the Solution in Visual Studio 2015 or a VS 2013 with the latest updates, and you should be all set! I recommend watching the video before downloading the solution, so that you can follow along in "the building of" before seeing the full thing.
Some reference links:
- Documentation on our new APIs: here. In particular, I would recommend reviewing the overview article, at GitHub.
- Q, one of the several main Promise libraries. The page has a great explanation for promises, as well: link
- StackOverflow questions tagged with [office-js]
Hope you find this useful!
