The Lay of the Land of Client-Side Development circa 2016
Level: 300
Track: Developer, End-User
Are you dazzled by all the noises you hear about client-side development? Do the grunts and gulps leave you a little confused? In this introductory session, we’ll talk about the types of things you can do with client-side development, how SharePoint can be used as a service (SPaaS?) and what the popular toolsets are. Even between writing the abstract and doing the session, things may well have changed.
Whether you’re a server-side developer who wants to catch up with the new trends, a power user wanting to flex your muscles in new ways, or an end user who would like to speak more intelligently with IT, this session will provide useful foundational information.

SharePoint 2016 - architecture, deployment and hybrid topologies
Level: 200
Track: IT Pro
Hybrid architecture are often conceived as a transitory deployment on the path towards the Microsoft Cloud. However, with the arrival of SharePoint 2016, with roots deeply inspired by Office 365 many organisations are now looking at ways to capitalize on their investments in the either platform. The hybrid deployment may still be the only viable path for many years to come for many organisations.
In this session we propose to review possible scenarios, share lessons learned for your consideration while exploring the variety of features available starting with SharePoint sites, Enterprise search down to Delve, Delve Analytics, Power BI or even Office 365 Groups. Ultimately, we shall explore how to leverage your current investments in SharePoint infrastructure.

Kickstart wirh Azure AD Applications and Microsoft Graph API: concepts, architecture, mechanisms, toolbelt
Level: 300
Track: Developer
Microsoft Graph API, previously known as Office 365 Unified API, is a new way how to access and manage productivity data and logic. It is now a preferred way to develop for Office 365, and more than Office 365. "One endpoint to rule them all" is the official Microsoft's slogan for Microsoft Graph.
Preferred way to deploy the applications which use Microsoft Graph are Azure AD Applications. Azure AD is much more than managing users: it can, and it should be used to manage users, applications and devices. Through this triangle, admins can fine-grain who can access which application and data, on which devices.
This session will guide you through the world of Azure AD and Microsoft Graph. We will deal with the concepts, with authentication and authorization mechanisms, accessing Office 365 data through Graph endpoints and putting it all together in working apps and own APIs. Welcome to the new, beautiful world of modern Office development!

SharePoint integration: How can PowerApps and Microsoft Flow give power to your SharePoint users
Level: 100
Track: Developer, End-User, Business
Every organization faces constant pressure to do more with less. While technology is often key to operating more effectively and efficiently, cost and complexity have often prevented organizations from taking maximum advantage of the potential benefits. The growth of SaaS (software as a service) has lowered barriers – no need to deploy servers or to install and configure complex software systems. Just sign up and go.
Microsoft Flow and Microsoft PowerApps will help these people (normally business users) achieve more.
We know not every business problem can be solved with off-the-shelf solutions. But developing custom solutions has traditionally been too costly and time consuming for many of the needs teams and departments face, especially those projects that integrate across multiple data sources or require delivery across multiple devices from desktop to mobile. As a result, too many technology needs end up unsolved or under-optimized. We piece together spreadsheets, email chains, SharePoint or/and manual processes to fill in the gaps.
PowerApps and Microsoft Flow are both aimed squarely at these gaps. They give people who best understand their needs and challenges the power to quickly meet them, without the time, complexity and cost of custom software development.
In this session we will look at these two new offering from Microsoft: PowerApps and Flow. What are day? How can I use it? But special we will walk through and create from scratch some live demos showing how to create a new PowerApp that connects to a list stored in SharePoint Online, or how to create a new Microsoft Flow that connects to a list stored in SharePoint Online.
