We’re going where no one has gone before. There’s no model to follow, nothing to copy. That is what makes this so exciting. Level: 300 Track: IT Pro, Developer Office 365, on-premise, upgrades and such... its all so confusing, all we want is great UI and UX. So lets build some applications that works on all platforms and make SP work the way we want it Session Info

Session Index The conundrum The way forward The demo (lets hope that chicken is slaughtered) A couple of catches Q and A

The conundrum The premise: We like SharePoint. We want to use it to provide rich interfaces to line of business data. We want the solutions we build to be upgradable On-premise or transferable to Office 365. The problem: We want rich applications on SharePoint if we use managed code its not portable to O365 and is often not upgradable on-premise.

The way forward

Javascript to the rescue…. What model do you use? Is Node better than AngularJS better than jQuery better than KnockOut…. SharePoint Hosted App versus Single Page App versus Hosted App?

Demo of SPA May the force be always in your favour

Pitfalls Yes Sometimes SP trips itself up – lessons learned: Localisation Formatting – Dates, Numbers and Multilines Rest API connections in Hosted Apps – Executor.Js functions for cross domain access Min all libraries Reduce Ajax rest calls for onload Loading screens – easy to build and shows its “Working on it” Conflicting jQuery – only use $ in functions
