Monthly Update 2014 December
Office 365 Developer Patterns and Practices project was announced on end of July 2014 and there has been tremendous interest for the project since, which has been great. We have received lot of valuable contributions from community and input on the overall planning. This wiki page is collecting the highlights from past month.
We will also Cover the details on the latest release during our December community call on Tuesday 16th of December. If you are intrested on seeing some of the new samples live and hear about the future, join on that call.
If you have any questions, comments or feedback, please join the latest discussions from the SharePoint Developer Group at Microsoft Tech Community. We have already more than 1300 other members in this group with lively discussion on different app model practices.
Both PnP Core Nuget packages (cloud and on-prem) have been also updated accordingly.
