He is also a contributor of samples and ideas via GitHub and PnP. Using his blog posts as a guide, we cover the evolution of SharePoint as a modern development platform, alongside the approach to brand and customize SharePoint – to develop once and deploy into SharePoint and Microsoft Teams. You’ll gain clarity and numerous tips and tricks along the way.
