A ShareCamp.at Retrospective My colleague Sebastian and I arrived at ShareCamp in Vienna (Austria) at Friday evening. And it started well – we meet a lot of people very known in the German – and now Austrian Community. To name a bunch: Toni Pohl, Martina Grom, Christian Glessner, Thorsten Hans, Hans Brender, Heike Ritter - not a complete list. We had a, lets call it pre-conference party. A great start of a ShareCamp.
Thorsten Hans (@ThorstenHans) and Christian Glessner (@cglessner) showed us how to develop SharePoint Apps (SharePoint hosted, Provider hosted). Live coding Thorsten recommended to use the REST calls instead the JS client object model – they are faster and “more” future-proof. Their experience was that autohosted is a little odd, the price conditions are not very clear. So there is provider hosted (Azure) or SharePoint hosted remaining. Key takeaway I really like their sessions – zero slides sessions – good content.
Thorsten Hans (@ThorstenHans) showed a lot of examples how to send notifications via Windows Azure Mobile Services. The story was “Build a contact form” with push notifications As a Windows 8 App As a SharePoint App Key takeaway Easy, fast – good stuff. Wondering if the push based messages are based on SignalR. The session was good fun, thanks Thorsten!
