Recently I talked to some clients because of a “Search-First” SharePoint 2013 migration (more about this topic will follow). During a training this week I got aware of a serious issue with the “Search-first” approach, especially with the really nice Office Web Apps 2013 Search Previews you get for free (read only!).
Problem Some clients want to start their migration with setting up a new SharePoint 2013 farm. This new farm then crawls the old SharePoint 2010 farm.
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!
Session about TypeScript and SharePoint by Martin Groblschegg
Short introduction about TypeScript
TypeScript is a free and open source programming language developed by Microsoft. It is a strict superset of JavaScript, and essentially adds optional static typing and class-based object oriented programming to the language. Anders Hejlsberg, lead architect of C#, has worked on development of TypeScript.
TypeScript extends JavaScript syntax, so any existing JavaScript programs work with TypeScript without any changes.
