 Hi, I'm Andrew Connell and I'm excited to share some of the details on my first course that I'm working on, the SharePoint Framework with you. What is the SharePoint Framework? Well, in May of 2016, Microsoft announced a new development model for SharePoint. This new model is very different, dare I say radically different, from the old ways of extending and customizing SharePoint that we used to do in the past. Remember that whole .NET server-side approach? Yeah, bye-bye. Microsoft chose a very different development model, from what traditional SharePoint developers are probably used to. But it's not really a new model, it's actually very popular in the web development world outside of the traditional Microsoft crowd. So in this course, you'll learn the basics of how to get started with the SharePoint Framework and progress up to mastering the SharePoint Framework. As Microsoft updates the SharePoint Framework with more features and capabilities, I will update this course with the newest features and capabilities because this is an evergreen course. How is it organized? Well, to cover everything, this course is going to inevitably be quite long. And I know that different people will be looking at different levels of information. So I'm just one at introduction, other ones want a deep understanding and know everything how it works, soup to nuts. So to help you choose your path of knowledge, I'm organizing this course into three different bundles. The starter bundle is the first bundle, and it's just going to have a few chapters in it. One chapter will explain this course, how to get the best value from it and what's covered in the rest of it. The other two chapters will explain what the SharePoint Framework is, why Microsoft created this new development model, and how you get your development model set up so that you can start building things. Best part? This bundle is free. Think of it as a try before you buy. You get to take a mini course to learn if this course is what you're looking for and to check out my style for the rest of the course. The fundamentals bundle is the second bundle, and it's the next step, and I'll have the more chapters in it than the starter bundle did. In this bundle, you'll learn the fundamentals of developing with the SharePoint Framework. Things like building client-side web parts and property panes, debugging techniques, how to use frameworks like jQuery or Knockout or React and Angular or ViewJS. How to style your customizations with the Office UI fabric and calling services like the SharePoint and Microsoft Graph Rest APIs to get external data. How to package and deploy your customizations. That's just a sample of what's going to be covered in the fundamentals bundle. Now the ultimate bundle is the third bundle, and it's got the best value packed with the most content and learning resources available to you. It includes everything available in the other bundles, but it includes additional content for enterprise developers like automated testing, how to work together as a team, adding continuous integration and deployment into your process, creating reusable and shared libraries, as well as lessons on how you can customize your developer environment and build tool chain with additional tools. But the part I'm most excited about is that subscribers to the ultimate bundle will also get access to private Git source code repositories that include all the projects and demos and all the lessons, access to subscribers only forum to ask questions and discuss your projects, as well as the opportunity to meet with me during regularly scheduled virtual office hours and with other experts that I invite in. When can you get access to the course? Well, I'm working on it right now. And as techniques change and versions are updated, Microsoft is going to make updates to the SharePoint framework. And so I'll keep adding lessons and new chapters to the course. But you don't have to wait until the whole thing is complete because instead I plan to have regular drops that includes new chapters and lessons that are going to be delivered to you as they're completed. So how can you get access to it? The best way is to sign up for my mailing list because subscribers that list will be the first to learn when new contents available. And you'll get exclusive access to special discounts that are available only to those who are on my mailing list. Hey, thanks for taking the time to watch this brief overview on my SharePoint framework course. I hope you all sign up for the mailing list so that you can stay in touch with me and up to date on this course and other ones that I'm going to work on down the line.
