PnP Weekly - Episode 78 - 6th of April 2020

In this weekly discussion of latest news and topics around Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), are joined by Patrick Rodgers (Microsoft) – Senior Program Manager for Microsoft FastTrack and esteemed starter/maintainer of the PnPjs open-source project.

Today's topics:  FastTrack program, evolution of SharePoint and PnPjs, and breaking change - growth through destruction, resets, and incremental performance improvements.   Microsoft’s FastTrack program helps customers to deploy Microsoft cloud solutions and at present is very actively helping universities and other healthcare organizations on the COVID front-lines to leverage the cloud to advance their time-sensitive work.  If you or your customer is on the front line and need to make things happen now, go to the FastTrack Portal and create an RFA.   Follow the guidance in the banner at the top of the page including e-mailing ftcrfa@microsoft.com, if necessary for assistance.

Hold the date:  Multilingual publishing is now general availability and DC Padur will be with us to cover this topic in depth during our monthly PnP community call on April 14th.

As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.
