Microsoft 365 PnP Weekly - Episode 120 - 29th of March 2021

In this installment of the weekly discussion revolving around the latest news and topics on Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft) | @vesajuvonen, Waldek Mastykarz (Microsoft) | @waldekm are joined by Italy/US-based Senior Consultant at his own company PiaSys.com, PnP Team member, and Microsoft MVP Paolo Pialorsi | @paolopia. 

Topics discussed in this session include the SharePoint 20th anniversary party, changes in PnP since Paolo's last appearance as a guest on the show 2 years ago, PnP Provisioning Engine, the value of the PnP Core SDK, and the scoop on Paolo’s weekly video tutorials.  A very interesting deep dive on the approach behind PnP Sites Core library (Now PnP Core SDK – the Modern developer experience for building apps for SPO and Microsoft Teams in .NET with a Microsoft Graph first, falling back to SharePoint Rest APIs approach).  The trio wraps up pondering the future of SharePoint Framework (SPFx) – perhaps a new name?, server-side capabilities?, v2.00?.
