A couple of days ago, I had to work again with Image Renditions in SharePoint. We’re developing a intranet for one of our customer and that solution partially relies on publishing features. Just as a reminder, image renditions were introduced back in 2013 to help you serve the most optimized version of an image without having the information workers caring about sizes and whatnot or without you having to resize images with code.

This year again I have the opportunity to speak at the SPS Vancouver. I’ll give a speech about the SharePoint Framework and devops methodologies “Is it possible to do devops with the SharePoint framework?”. You had it all right with solutions and add-ins. Your release pipeline was set up. Do new technologies and methodologies mean starting over? Don’t panic I’m here to help! Together we’ll see how to set up a devops pipeline for SPFX developments with:

This year again I have the opportunity to speak at the SPS Calgary. I’ll give a speech about the Azure functions and Microsoft flow “Introduction to Azure Functions and Flow”. Flow and Azure Functions are two new tools you now have for rapid applications development. It’s a revolution that changes the way of building and delivering modern applications. Instead of shipping a monolithic bloc, which can take up to a few months, we’ll now deliver each feature as a part of the solution.

I’ll have the privilege to speak at next AOS (Azure, Office 365, SharePoint) in Ottawa (8th) and Toronto (10th). I’ll present in English: Introduction to Azure Functions and Flow Flow and Azure Functions are two new tools you now have for rapid applications development. It’s a revolution that changes the way of building and delivering modern applications.

Big step for me during this 2016 celebrations season as I decided to leave Negotium for 2ToLead Good Bye Negotium Since I joined AlphaMosaik more than four years ago (I originally joined only for 18 months huh…), by the acquisition by Negotium and up to this day my working environment and the company I was part of changed a lot. This company allowed me to maturate and to learn a lot on cultural, personal and professional aspects.

A few weeks ago, I’ve had to get hands on a customer’s SharePoint farm showing performance problems. They also had inconsistencies with display data between multiple calls. I quickly suspected a configuration issue for the load balancer dispatching calls between the front-end servers. However, I only had access to the SharePoint farm and I had to provide data so the network team so they could start investigating. Hence the question: how can we determine which server served the request between multiple calls?

This year again I have the opportunity to speak at the SPS Ottawa. I’ll give a speech about the graph “Making Graph data useful to your company”. We’ll talk about the Graph, delve, yammer, machine learning and a lot of other interesting concepts and the conversation will be aimed towards developers. If you’re in the area Saturday December the 3rd 2016 don’t hesitate to register to the event. Just as a reminder SPS are free events organized by the community with lot of great sessions.

Everything is in the title. My French blog has been running for more than six years now (gee, I’m getting old). From 2013 to 2014, before I decided to open an English dedicated blog, I was posting every blog entry in English and in French. Over time it got messy for both communities so I decided to open this blog. But I couldn’t move the old content to this new blog without having to spend hours doing so.

A few months ago I published articles about continuous integration for dot net core projects. Obviously it was really early in this “new framework” lifecycle (we were still on a beta version back then) and the tooling plus processes evolved a lot since. Good news is you don’t need anymore a complex and often crashing powershell script. You don’t need anymore special tasks either other than standard command line and azure publishing tasks.

This year I have the privilege to speak at SPS Brussels I’ll give a speech about “setting up your release pipeline for office 365/SharePoint”. (aka devops) We’ll see together how you can leverage azure and visual studio team services to implement devops processes and increase quality and save time. If you’re in the area on Oct the 15th don’t hesitate to register to the event. Just as a reminder SPS are free events organized by the community with lot of great sessions.
