4. SELECTING A SHAREPOINT MIGRATION TOOL PAPER


"There are are many blogs and papers that cover this challenge. Those I have read emphasis the need to treat migration as a significant project, resource hungry, time consuming, and requires careful planning. This is a legal and political minefield for any records management team and benefits by strong support from senior managers." - Michael Bunyan

9. DEVELOPING FOR OFFICE 365 – THOUGHTS ON USE OF CUSTOM MASTER PAGES AND WEB TEMPLATES ETC.


As more and more organizations are choosing to deploy SharePoint workloads on Office 365, it’s interesting to see Microsoft change the guidance given to developers on how customizations should be implemented. If you’ve been following closely, you might be aware that the following messages have started to emerge in recent months:


- Avoid custom master pages

- Avoid using web templates

- Avoid using declarative XML (i.e. Feature XML) in a WSP (even a sandbox WSP – and remember, we already should not be using server-side code here either!) continued ...

10. PROGRAMMATICALLY REGISTER NATIVE APPS IN AZURE AD OR OFFICE 365


This blog post applies to both Office 365 and Azure AD since Office 365 lives in Azure AD. And with some tweaks you can easily make this work for non-native apps also (web apps that are single or multi-tenant, and web apis that are single or multi-tenant).
